Spirits
Auras. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na na na na na
Na na na na na

The lights had to go out for me to shine again
I ceased tryna show out
How could I lie like this
Keep it moving, stop tryna benefit
From a nuisance more so impediment

Feeling better than I was
Feeling better than I was

Okay
A little while ago, got high when i was low
Started thinking I was fine but I still struggled
In a place I gotta be at to get to where I wanna go
Took a while to see it but my eyes wider than galago's
How could it be that I'm on Earth hanging with packs of ghosts
How could it be I feel the heat at the Alaskan coast
Got a sense its been here way before I made my appearance
Don't recall the scene I made it here or when I'm leaving

Leaving
Leaving
Leaving
Leaving

Assume that I'm assertive, that but more of an observer
I'm that type you've never heard of
ID's coming to cessation, they call it murder
What is this sensation I feel all over, I feel all over
Assume that I'm assertive, that but more of an observer
I'm that type you've never heard of

ID's coming to cessation, they call it murder
What is this sensation I feel all over, I feel all over

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics for Auras.'s song "Spirits" are a repeating "na na na na na" melody. This initial sound sets the tone for the song as it has a simple, somewhat nostalgic feel. The first verse then begins by stating that "the lights had to go out for me to shine again," implying that the singer has experienced a difficult time but has come out the other side feeling better than before. The language used in the verse suggests that the singer has stopped trying to impress others and has instead focused on their own growth and well-being. This theme continues in the chorus as the singer sings, "feeling better than I was."

The second verse of the song provides more detail about the struggles the singer has faced. They suggest that they were previously using drugs to try and alleviate their problems, but that this was ultimately futile. The singer then reflects on the fact that they are surrounded by "packs of ghosts," implying that they still feel isolated despite being around people. The verse ends with the singer questioning their own mortality, saying they do not know when they will leave. The final section of the song repeats the chorus and includes additional verses that touch on themes of observation, identity, and a sensation that the singer cannot fully articulate.
