I’m not really one to write simplistic and jovial lyrics, and while on the surface I can see how “Bros” is a happy song — a celebration of friendship and one’s younger years — I see a panic in the words. Particularly the bridge, which I think expresses the fear I had, not of growing up, but of growing up without Sadie. I don’t know which one of us started having trouble entering the Fourth World first — I’d like to think it was me because I was a year older, but I don’t think our age difference was mirrored in our maturity. Either way, I worried that once we entered reality as budding adults — no longer pretending to be “raised by wolves and other beasts” — we wouldn’t be together all the time. . Ellie Rowsell
About This Quote

I am not really one to write simplistic and jovial lyrics, and while on the surface I can see how "Bros" is a happy song - a celebration of friendship and one's younger years - I see a panic in the words. Particularly the bridge, which I think expresses the fear I had, not of growing up, but of growing up without Sadie. I don't know which one of us started having trouble entering the Fourth World first - I'd like to think it was me because I was a year older, but I don't think our age difference was mirrored in our maturity. Either way, I worried that once we entered reality as budding adults - no longer pretending to be "raised by wolves and other beasts" - we wouldn't be together all the time.
