"Through struggle we prevail. Through Struggle we unite. You are not alone. This is our Pre-Inspired Symphony..." is something that the members of Aurin know all too well. "We all have a need to connect to one another in some way, shape, or form, even if it's simply to be acknowledged by someone else who can reassure us that we are not alone. We strive to be remembered," says guitarist Andrew Wayne. This concept of finding one another through mutual experience and thought is heavily driven into the musicianship and songwriting of Aurin.
Born and raised in the Garden State, the members of Aurin not only live, but breathe music. Growing up as part of generation "why?," music was the one thing that its members ever truly understood. Music provided answers. Over years of writing and working, Aurin's musical direction has molded into an eclectic style of hard rock. Aurin has developed an approach so that they may continue, progress, and modernize the nature of raw, emotional music from generations past.

Aurin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Be yourself, who gives a fuck what others think?"
But you always felt so empty from no "I love yous"
No apologies
Are you out there?
Somewhere out there?
Dead and gone, but you're still here
One more lifetime
And I keep seeing you in strangers passing by
Cause I am haunted by the things you left behind
And now I'm lost here
And I fear time's fading you too
So I just sit here
Drawing pictures to remember you
Late one night you came to me
Just as lost as I thought I'd always be
But you told me that you loved me
And how I'd see you again
Are you out there? Somewhere out there?
You are gone, but still live here
So I'll wait here, just one more year
Cause in my dreams I still see you
And I keep seeing you in strangers passing by
Cause I am haunted by the things you left behind
And now I'm lost here
And I fear time's fading you too
So I just sit here
Drawing pictures to remember you
An angel flies away with broken wings
Crashing down and burning everything
Did I fail you somehow?
As I hit the ground with you
And I keep seeing you in strangers passing by
Cause I am haunted by the things you left behind
And now I'm lost here
And I fear time's fading you too
So I just sit here
Drawing pictures to remember you
The song "Brother" by Aurin is a tribute to a lost loved one who may have taken their own life. The lyrics are written from a perspective of someone who is haunted by the death of their brother, who seemed to be always looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. The opening lines, "Growing up you said to me / 'Be yourself, who gives a fuck what others think?' / But you always felt so empty from no "I love yous" / No apologies," convey a sense of abandonment and a lack of emotional connection that the brother may have experienced while alive.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines, "Are you out there? Somewhere out there? / Dead and gone, but you're still here / So I'll wait here, just one more year / One more lifetime," which suggests that the singer is still searching for their brother's presence and is hoping to feel the connection that they once shared. The bridge of the song is particularly emotional, with the line "An angel flies away with broken wings / Crashing down and burning everything / Did I fail you somehow? / As I hit the ground with you." This portrays the feeling of guilt that the singer is experiencing over their brother's passing and the sense that they are sharing in that pain and suffering.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a loved one who has passed, and it expresses the raw emotions of loss, guilt, and sorrow that accompany such an event.

Growing up you said to me
"Be yourself, who gives a fuck what others think?"
But you always felt so empty from no "I love yous"
No apologies
As a child, you encouraged me to be authentic and not care about others' opinions. However, you yourself never received love or apologies, making you feel empty and incomplete.
Are you out there?
Somewhere out there?
Dead and gone, but you're still here
So I'll wait here, just one more year
One more lifetime
Although you have passed away, I wonder if there is a part of you that still exists. I will wait for as long as it takes to feel your presence again.
And I keep seeing you in strangers passing by
Cause I am haunted by the things you left behind
And now I'm lost here
And I fear time's fading you too
So I just sit here
Drawing pictures to remember you
I often see you in the faces of strangers because thoughts of you never leave me. I am afraid that with time, memories of you will fade away, so I try to remember you by drawing pictures.
Late one night you came to me
Just as lost as I thought I'd always be
But you told me that you loved me
And how I'd see you again
One night, in a dream, you came to me, and I realized that you were just as lost as I was. However, you told me that you loved me and that I would get a chance to see you again.
You are gone, but still live here
Cause in my dreams I still see you
Even though you have passed away, I feel your presence among us because I still dream about you.
An angel flies away with broken wings
Crashing down and burning everything
Did I fail you somehow?
As I hit the ground with you
When you passed away with broken dreams, I felt like I failed to protect you. As we hit the ground together, I couldn't help but wonder if I could have done more to save you.
And I keep seeing you in strangers passing by
Cause I am haunted by the things you left behind
And now I'm lost here
And I fear time's fading you too
So I just sit here
Drawing pictures to remember you
I keep seeing you in others because you left a lasting impression on me. I am worried that time will erase my memories of you, so I draw pictures to keep you near me.

@ShelbyStar - You do not know how much this comment means to me. It is one of, if not the hardest thing I ever had to do (living with the grief)...and continue to do to this day. The love and memories you two shared will be there forever in you. Live on and prosper, in honor of him. Do what you think would make him proud. It's what I try to do at least. Thank you Shelby. - Andrew
