AURORA
36 Crazyfists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you screaming loud enough to be important?
Are you following the path that you thought you would or wouldn't?
And you backed it all along
When you're pulling from what's inside, it's honest there
It took all these nights alone, alone we are
Aurora, don't leave me yet
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving
(It does arrive, fly)
So at ease with the night that we drove along
From the top of the hill where we don't go
And the stop where we claim our life, our place forever
And we dreamt it all along
From the nights when the light stayed alive, we shared
It took all these nights alone, alone we are
Aurora, don't leave me yet
Aurora, don't leave me yet
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving
(It does arrive, fly)
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving
(It does arrive, fly)
In hope I speak your name for closure
By a thread we'll hang to never give in
Aurora, don't leave me yet
Aurora, don't leave me yet
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving
(Tonight may be the last night in these shoes)
The lyrics of “Aurora” by 36 Crazyfists speak to the theme of self-discovery and finding one’s place in the world. The song begins by asking if the listener is comfortable in their own skin and if they are making themselves heard. The lyrics then ask if the listener is following the path they thought they would, emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself. The lines “When you're pulling from what's inside, it's honest there / It took all these nights alone, alone we are” suggest that the only way to truly know oneself is by spending time alone, away from the distractions of the world.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase “Aurora, don't leave me yet / Your lipstick-stained life is arriving,” can be interpreted in different ways. “Aurora” may refer to a person or a place, and the phrase “lipstick-stained life” suggests that this person or place is an exciting and somewhat dangerous one. The final line of the chorus, “(Tonight may be the last night in these shoes),” which is sung in a softer tone than the rest of the chorus, suggests a hint of regret or uncertainty about what the future may hold.

Don't abandon me Aurora
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving
Your life with all its character is coming to pass
(It does arrive, fly)
It comes quickly
So at ease with the night that we drove along
Relaxed while driving in the night
From the top of the hill where we don't go
Not dwelling on the past
And the stop where we claim our life, our place forever
where we establish ourselves
And we dreamt it all along
Having dreams that we held on to
From the nights when the light stayed alive, we shared
Strength through shared experiences
In hope I speak your name for closure
Speaking in the hopes of coming to terms with something
By a thread we'll hang to never give in
Holding on despite the difficulty
Tonight may be the last night in these shoes
Our current situation may change soon

@RedFail11
They did bro. They are still making music and touring the world. For some good old boys from Alaska I'd say they fucking made it. What band lasts 20+ years?..

They did make it. They just didn’t sell out and start making shitty music
