Blood in the Wine
Aurora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was given a heart
Before I was given a mind
A thirst for pleasure and war
A hunger we keep inside
We fell from sky with grace
And life gave us a sweeter taste
You can drink
You can feast
There's beauty in your beast
The flesh in the fruit
And the blood in the wine

Come and feel alive, lover
Come and feel the love like a sinner
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
"I won't feel ashamed, mother"
"Can you break the chains of her?"
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she's a lover

I was given a name
Before I was given blood
Like you were given your faith
Before there was made a God
Young rivers in your hands
And grass burning in promised lands
You can drink
You can feast
There's beauty in your beast
The flesh in the fruit
And the blood in the wine

Come and feel alive, lover
Come and feel the love like a sinner
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
"I won't feel ashamed, mother"
"Can you break the chains of her?"
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she's a lover

Come and feel alive
Come and feel the love
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
"I won't feel ashamed, mother"
"Can you break the chains of her?"
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she's a lover

Come and feel alive, lover
Come and feel the love like a sinner
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
"I won't feel ashamed, mother"
"Can you break the chains of her?"




Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she's a lover

The use of the metaphor of falling from the sky with grace adds a mythical quality to the lyrics, suggesting that our human nature is divine and inherently beautiful. Aurora encourages listeners to embrace their desires, to "drink" and "feast" on life.


The chorus of "Blood in the Wine" is an invitation to experience love and freedom without shame or guilt. Aurora implores the listener to "come and feel alive" and to experience love as a sinner would, boldly and without reservation.

Through her words, Aurora seeks to promote a message of acceptance, urging people to embrace their true selves without fear of judgment.

Lyrics

I was given a heart
Before I was given a mind
A thirst for pleasure and war
A hunger we keep inside

We fell from sky with grace
And life gave us a sweeter taste
You can drink
You can feast
There’s beauty in your beast
The flesh in the fruit
And the blood in the wine

Come and feel alive, lover
Come and feel the love like a sinner
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
I won’t feel ashamed, mother
Can you break the chains of her?
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she’s a lover

I was given a name
Before I was given blood
Like you were given your faith
Before there was made a God

Young rivers in your hands
And grass burning in promised lands
You can drink
You can feast
There’s beauty in your beast
The flesh in the fruit
And the blood in the wine

Come and feel alive, lover
Come and feel the love like a sinner
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
I won’t feel ashamed, mother
Can you break the chains of her?
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she’s a lover

Come and feel alive
Come and feel the love
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
I won’t feel ashamed, mother
Can you break the chains of her?
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she’s a lover

Come and feel alive, lover
Come and feel the love like a sinner
Shout it louder
Shout it for the ones who could never say
Come and feel ashamed, mother
Can you break the chains of her?
Shout it louder
Not a sinner, she’s a lover

My mother told me that my love is disgusting. Loving a woman as a woman is as bad as murder. This song makes me cry.

@hugosenet

Your love's validity and purity doesn't depend on your loved one's gender.
Even if your mother might not, I hope you give yourself the respect and compassion you deserve. 💚
