There was something special about being able to play just by yourself — something about the emotion in it made me want to continue playing.’ At age nine, when she had a better handle of the English language, she began writing songs. 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.

Catharsis
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
BUT WE SHINE LIKE DEAD SUNS
GIVE US TOO MUCH ROPE
AND WE FUCK IT UP
THE WORLD KEEPS DIVING
AND WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK
'CAUSE WE CAN CHOOSE
AND TRY TO LOOK AT YOURSELF
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
A SUPERSTAR???
WHO IS TRYING TO ESCAPE
BUT FROM WHOM... YOUR OWN TOMB?
IF THE PAIN, AND THE SIN, AND THE CHILLY WIND STING,
AND THE SOUL, AND THE HOPE, AND WORLD'S TO COLD,
CHOOSE...
IF THE MOOD, AND THE FRUIT AND LIFE'S MUTE,
AND THE LOVE, AND THE SUN, AND THE BLOOD IN THE VEINS ARE GONE
CHOOSE CATHARSIS
OR BREATH THE AIR
AND TRY TO TAKE CARE
DON'T SET YOUR CONTROL ON FIRE
THEN LIFE WILL FEEL A BIT LIGHTER
AND YOU'LL SOON BE A BIT BRIGHTER
AND A BILLION TIMES TALLER...
AND A MILLION TIMES SMALLER...
The lyrics to "Catharsis" by Aurora seem to be calling attention to the idea that humanity often has the potential to do great things, but frequently fails to do so due to our own flaws and shortcomings. The opening lines, "We are the beloved sons, but we shine like dead suns" suggests that we have the potential to be great, but instead are dull and lifeless. The lyrics go on to say "Give us too much rope and we fuck it up", suggesting that we have the ability to make choices and take action, but often do so in a destructive manner.
The chorus, with the repeated phrase "choose catharsis", suggests that in the face of pain, sin, and challenges, we have a choice to make - we can either choose to succumb to our struggles or choose to undergo the purifying process of catharsis. The following lines, "Or breath the air and try to take care, don't set your control on fire", suggest that we can choose to take responsibility for our lives and actions, and make healthier choices that help us grow.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their lives and actions, and to choose the catharsis that comes with growth and positive change.

LYRICS FOR YOU

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
