Aurora
Adelaida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alejame y nada más
Podríamos tener el cielo cerca
Te trato de escuchar
Conversame más alto que estoy alucinando con las luces
No hay direcciones
No hay direcciones
No mencionaré lo que pensaba aquella noche que pasamos juntos en la playa
Que desilución
Buscamos la constelación que nunca encontramos cuando niños
Somos sólo hormigas en el infinito cielo gris
Y desde aquí la tierra no me asombra
Desilusiones
No hay direcciones
No hay direcciones
Sin direcciones
The lyrics to Adelaida's song Aurora explore themes of disappointment, disillusionment, and a sense of directionlessness. The opening lines describe someone trying to climb up, perhaps striving for something higher or better, but ultimately failing to do so. The singer then asks this person to stay away and suggests that they could be closer to heaven if they did. They struggle to listen to this person, but are still captivated by the lights and the beauty around them.
The next part of the song mentions a night spent together on the beach, which was ultimately disappointing. They search for a constellation they never find, highlighting their inability to find direction or purpose. They see themselves as tiny ants in the vast, gray infinity of the sky, and from this perspective, the earth no longer seems impressive. The repeated line "no hay direcciones" (there are no directions) underscores the theme of the song, which is a feeling of aimlessness or uncertainty.
Overall, the lyrics to Aurora are reminiscent of existentialist themes of meaninglessness and a lack of direction in life. Through the use of metaphors and imagery, the song explores the limitations of our perception and how we struggle to find meaning in our experiences.
