Auri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See far, far deeper than the mind's eye
Hear far, far deeper than the inner voice
Feel far, far deeper than the beating heart
Costume change is all we ask
But still we are the same
From a pitch black centre
The lighthouse turns onto an ocean ablaze
What is this?
What is this?
Speak
(Speak far, far clearer than the open mouth)
Breathe, far, far clearer than the winter sky
Dream, far, far clearer than Orion's crown
From there we get no sympathy
But love's a wine dark sea
Rich and moving
Rich and moving
The shock of life
I saw you age but not
What is this?
Is this a kiss?
See far, far deeper than the mind's eye
Hear far, far deeper than the inner voice
Feel far, far deeper than the hand of time
The lyrics of Auri's song "See" delve deep into the human experience, exploring the idea that there is more to life than what is perceived on the surface. The opening lines urge the listener to look beyond what the mind can comprehend and to tap into a deeper intuition. The lyrics encourage the audience to not only listen to their inner voice, but to also feel and sense beyond the physical being. The imagery of the beating heart suggests that true understanding comes from delving deep into our emotions.
The song contrasts the exterior world with the inner self. The lyric "Costume change is all we ask, but still we are the same" illustrates how the way we present ourselves can change, yet the core of our being stays the same. The lighthouse turning on an ocean ablaze is Auri's metaphor for the chaos and confusion of the world. The question "What is this?" is a cry for understanding in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and chaotic.
