2) Hailing from Brazil, AURAS was formed in the beginning of 2007 by Gui Oliver (lead vocals) and Ferpa Lacerda (guitars). Tired of playing in cover bands and feeling that they were musically mature, both musicians decided to show the audience their own music.
The first song they wrote together “Hungry Hearts” was exposed to fans and selected press gathering excellent responses also from famous producers and musicians around the world. After the warm reception of “Hungry Hearts”, Gui Oliver and Ferpa Lacerda moved forward and recorded another few songs in order to find a label that could give them the chance to show the big audience their music.
During the recording process the great jazz drummer Edu Sallum, who had already played with Rafael Moreira (Pink, Christina Aguilera, Rockstar INXS, Paul Stanley), joined the band.
In 2008 the band had the chance to be face to face with their idols Jeff Scott Soto and Jimi Jamison when they opened their gig in Curitiba, AURAS hometown. When the band was on stage Jimi Jamison mentioned that AURAS songs took him back to the eighties and reminded him of the great bands of that period.
It was just a matter of time really and a few weeks later the band signed with Frontiers Records and they were the first band from South America to sign with the Italian label. What once was a dream had become reality. Gui, Ferpa and Edu therefore joined forces with the local studio musicians Matt Brandon and Hemerson Vieira and started to record their first album called “New Generation”. The album was finally mixed and mastered to sonic perfection by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Sunstorm, Place Vendome, Khymera etc.).
Influenced by bands like Journey, Survivor, Toto and Chicago, AURAS tries to mix in their music new elements to the classic AOR/Melodic Rock style. AURAS want to be recognized as a real band, not another music project.
Love, dreams, faith and hope are what AURAS music is all about.

Auras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my eyes you looking the best, ah
She make it a mess
Stay with an iron, I stay with a tech,
Like Jonny Test
I'm with the birds, I'm in the nest,
We do it the best
I'm counting more money and you counting less
Yeah,
Pop me a X pill,
Stay dangerous like I'm X-men, okay
Aura the real deal,
Get him gone like it was big fan, okay
And this is real spill,
Big talk, I got no feels, okay
Unless it for them,
Unless its for her
Unless its for them,
Unless its for her
Pull up with bad bit- you know how -
Talkin' bout them,
You talkin' bout Conjur,
You talkin' bout Madman,
You talkin' bout Si,
Talkin' bout them,
You talkin' bout Haynes,
You talkin' bout D,
You talkin' bout Ty,
You talkin' bout Cheese,
You talkin' bout Titz,
You talkin' bout Ev,
You talkin' bout Bird,
You talkin' bout D Brack,
You talkin' bout JK,
Play with the squad and yo ass get hurt
Pop me a perc,
This is a big body I'm makin it swerve,
And I'm riding with Neon,
I'm riding with Beeno,
Them is my brothers,
I know that for sure

Welcome to the tape
Welcome to the uh
In Auras's song In My Arms, the lyrics center around the internal struggles of a person who may be dealing with mental health issues or some kind of personal turmoil. The first stanza starts with the singer welcoming themselves back to their head space, which may indicate a desire for introspection or self-reflection. The next line, "I usually make plans so I can cancel them," expresses a lack of motivation or engagement in everyday activities. The line "And no one understands me" further indicates a sense of isolation and disconnection from others.
The second stanza begins with "Just another Friday night," which could suggest a sense of monotony or a lack of excitement in life. The line "all I ever did is try to survive" highlights the idea that the singer is merely trying to keep going, rather than actively living life. There is a hint of regret in "if I could, I would," as if the singer wishes they could change their current state. The line "I’ve seen so many PhDs, still my thoughts are speaking way too loud to me" could indicate that the singer has tried different kinds of therapy or medication and none of it has worked. The final lines indicate a sense of numbness, that the singer has taken pills to try to find peace and instead feels erased.
Line by Line Meaning
Welcome to my head again
I am constantly alone with my thoughts.
I usually make plans so I can cancel them
I have a tendency to isolate myself and push people away.
And yeah I really wish I could explain the hell
I struggle with depression, anger, and conflicting emotions that are difficult to articulate.
I’m sad, angry, but happy when I’m mad
My emotions are complicated and don't always make sense.
And no one understands me
I feel like nobody can relate to what I'm going through and I'm alone in my struggles.
Damn, now I am alone again and
I feel isolated and disconnected from others.
I may cry a little but I’m fine with that
I am comfortable with expressing my emotions, even if they are painful.
Yeah, there was a time I used to dance with death but I got over that
I used to engage in risky behavior, but I have since found healthier ways to cope.
And now I write instead
I channel my emotions into creative outlets like writing.
Just another Friday night
My life is fairly mundane and uneventful.
I know you are longing for a stable life
Others may judge me for my lifestyle choices and desire for stability.
but all I ever did is trying to survive
I have been through difficult times and my main goal is simply to make it through each day.
if I could, I would, but we both know I’m dead inside
Despite my desire for a better life, I sometimes feel emotionally numb and detached.
I’ve seen so many PhDs
I have encountered many educated people but my own struggles cannot be solved by knowledge alone.
Still my thoughts are speaking way too loud to me and So I took some pills to get a little peace in me, hardly did I know they’d be erasing me
I have tried medication to help with my mental health, but it only made me feel worse.
I woke up just in time
I have been through difficult times but I am still alive.
Think I’m doing fine
I am trying to stay positive and continue moving forward.
Waiting for a sign and I don’t know why
I am looking for hope or meaning, but don't know where to find it.
Waiting for a sign til the end of time
I feel like I am stuck in this rut and don't see a way out.
You know sometimes I hate myself
I struggle with low self-esteem and sometimes dislike the person I am.
But there’s no peace in my mind
I am constantly battling negative thoughts and emotions.
You know sometimes I hate myself
I feel ashamed of my struggles and wish I could be different.
But there’s no peace in my mind
My mental state is constantly unrestful and turbulent.
You know sometimes I hate myself
I am aware of my flaws and sometimes feel like they define me as a person.
