Her first original composition was titled ‘I Had A Dream’, which referred to how hard the world can be. Songs such as ‘Running With The Wolves’, ‘I Went Too Far’ and ‘Runaway’ were written in this early stage of her life, with ‘Runaway’ being written when she was 12.

Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like an inflamed eye
and blinds our cosmos
with illuminated beams
blue...
but who cares?
we don't percieve
what is happening
outside these cold walls
above the (passive) houses
a young man tries
to take his life
by walking the (crossing) line
(still) the birds are hooding
for the heated blue
but they cannot find it
instead they decline away
the hazard wind blows cold
and cover the (animated) skin
with pain
while we all pass away
The lyrics to Aurora's song "Blue" paint a bleak and desolate picture of a world where sunlight blinds everything in sight, and people are trapped in their cold walls, unable to notice the despair around. The first verse starts with a vivid description of the sun that glows like an inflamed eye, projecting its illuminated beams all over the cosmos, making it impossible for anyone to see what's beyond the glare. The chorus then kicks in with a simple but poignant message, "blue.. but who cares?" implying that even the color blue, which usually symbolizes hope and optimism, can't escape the bleakness of this world.
The second verse talks about how people are oblivious to the world outside their homes and are in a slumber hoping that everything will someday get better. Meanwhile, a young man tries to take his life by walking the crossing line, probably indicating the hopelessness and desperation of the youth in this world. The third verse speaks of the birds that are searching for the heated blue, presumably a metaphor for a better tomorrow, but are unable to find it, leading them to decline away. The song ends with a morose depiction of how the cold wind covers the animated skin with pain, and everyone ultimately perishes.

the sun glows
The sun shines brightly
like an inflamed eye
It looks like a painful and fiery eye
and blinds our cosmos
It's so bright that it obscures everything in the universe
with illuminated beams
By emitting rays of light
blue...
The singer pauses to reflect on the color blue
but who cares?
She questions whether anyone truly cares about anything
in faint we slumber
We sleep weakly, without much energy or awareness
we don't percieve
We don't see or sense
what is happening
What's going on around us
outside these cold walls
Beyond the confines of our isolated environment
above the (passive) houses
Higher than the quiet, stationary buildings
a young man tries
A youth attempts something, we don't yet know what
to take his life
He aims to end his existence
by walking the (crossing) line
Perhaps he'll cross a boundary that will lead to his death
(still) the birds are hooding
The birds make sounds that suggest foreboding, even though they don't understand what's happening
for the heated blue
They chirp in anticipation of warmth or light
but they cannot find it
However, what they hoped for isn't there
instead they decline away
The birds give up and fly away
the hazard wind blows cold
A dangerous wind blows, bringing coldness and potential harm
and cover the (animated) skin
It blankets the living tissue and causes discomfort
with pain
Resulting in feelings of discomfort or agony
while we all pass away
As we die or disappear

LYRICS FOR YOU
on Conqueror
Lyrics :)
Broken mornings, broken nights and broken days in between
Open ground, the sky is open, makes an open sea
Just like in fiction, in every addiction
Oh oh, fantasy's taking over, awake me
I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way
Broken me and broken them
You are broken too
Open ears, their eyes are open
Makes me call for you
But there's no seduction only destruction
(Oh oh) oh fantasy take me over and break me
I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
