Brave

Amistat's song 'Brave' is a heartfelt anthem that delves into themes of pain, fear, and the transformative power of bravery and support. The lyrics open with a message of pain and disillusionment, highlighting the fleeting nature of 'cheap thrills' and the need for realignment and introspection. This sets the stage for a narrative that is both personal and universal, addressing the struggles and emotional turmoil that many face.

The song emphasizes the importance of bravery, not as a solitary endeavor but as a collective experience. The repeated refrain, 'You don’t need no saving need only to be brave,' serves as a powerful reminder that while we may not be able to solve all problems or 'move mountains,' we can offer support and companionship. This sentiment is beautifully encapsulated in the lines, 'We can't move your mountains but we can hold your hand,' suggesting that the presence and support of loved ones can provide immense strength and comfort.

Amistat also touches on the concept of growth and healing, with the promise that 'You'll bloom in health and color with grace you'll come of age.' This imagery of blooming and coming of age signifies a journey towards recovery and self-discovery, reinforced by the encouragement to 'treat yourself kind' and 'give yourself a gentle year.' The song concludes with a sense of resolution and hope, as the narrator reflects on their own journey of realignment and the enduring need for bravery. Through its poignant lyrics and emotive delivery, 'Brave' by Amistat offers a moving exploration of resilience, brotherhood, and the enduring human spirit.
