Conqueror
Aurora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aurora's song "Conqueror" reflect a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the search for someone who can be both a conqueror and a lover. The singer is struggling with their own brokenness and the fleeting nature of happiness and fulfillment. The references to "broken mornings, broken nights, and broken days in between" suggest a sense of weariness and malaise, while the image of open ground and open sky conveys a desire for freedom and escape.


The lyrics continue to explore the themes of addiction and fantasy, with the singer acknowledging the allure of these distractions while also recognizing their destructive nature. There is a sense of desperation in the repeated refrain of "I've been looking for the conqueror but you don't seem to come my way," which hints at a deep sense of longing and unfulfilled desire. The final lines, "I feel ali-li-live," suggest a recognition of the importance of being alive in the moment and embracing the present.


Overall, "Conqueror" is a poetic and introspective exploration of the human search for meaning and connection, and the difficulties that come with this quest.

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

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

Broken mornings, broken nights
and broken days in between
Open ground, the sky is open,
makes an open scene

Just like in fiction,
in every addiction
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 fantasy take me
over and break me

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way

@badhabit7553

best underated female singer. i thought Aurora deserved get grammy nomination.

@bboyb7

+Sasuke Uchiha last year was her debut year, she is not aloud to be nominated until next year. you can't get nominated on your first year unfortunately

@ingvildkrossnes4644

well she's from Norway and here we have a prize ( Spellemannsprisen ) that is just like Grammy. She won " The years new "and was nominated to "song of the year" for running with the woolfs . So she Basicly have a Grammy.😊

@fabiogermanotto5465

well im sure she will in the future, but shes just started...give her time.

@badhabit7553

+KWINTEN i'll try, song from Aurora right? +buffyrulez i'm serious, may one day she'll get grammy win, at least get nomination. +Ingvlid Krossnes finally she's have some trofy, are you from Norway? I believe one day she'll get famous mor than this and let's world know about her.

@bboyb7

buffyrulez actually Sasuke Uchiha is right, she is underrated. Firstly she is popular in Norway and Europe but her tours sell out because the venues are not huge. she would not be able to sell out venues in the U.S nor would she be able to sell out stadiums/huge arenas across Europe. She is still new and relatively niche but by the way she is going thus far, it won't be too long until she begins to get more and more attention. Secondly John Lewis typically choose up and coming artist to be part of their campaign, just as they did with Ellie Goulding in 2010. Hopefully she receives acclaim with her debut album and her career blossoms as Ellie Goulding's did (she reminds me of the young old Ellie Goulding)
