Exist For Love
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Between the man and the woman (ah, ah)
I've never felt like this before
My heart knew that I couldn't (ah)
And then you take me in
And everything in me begins to feel like I belong
Like everybody needs a home
Like the world has never held a man
I know I cannot heal the hurt
But I will hold you here forever
If I can, if I can
And then I learned the truth
How everything good in life seems to lead back to you
And every single time I run into your arms
I feel like I exist for love
Like I exist for love
Only for love
I can't imagine how it is
To be forbidden from loving (ah, ah)
'Cause when you walked into my life
I could feel my life begin
Like I was torn apart the minute I was only born
And you're the other half
The only thing that makes me whole
I know it sounds like a lot
But you really need to know
We are leaning out for love
And we will lean for love forever, I know
I love you so
And then I learned the truth
How everything good in life seems to lead back to you
And every single time I run into your arms
I feel like I exist for love
Only for love
And when you say my name
Like white horses on the waves
I think it feels the same
As an ocean in my veins
And you'll be diving in
Like nothing is out of place
And we exist for love
Only for love
And I love you, I love you, I love you
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Aurora's song "Exist For Love" is a beautiful look at love and the powerful emotions it can cause. The song begins with the idea that there is a war between the man and woman but the singer of the song has never felt this way before. They have a strong connection with another person that is almost overwhelming. They feel like they belong with this person and that everyone needs a home. When they hold hands with this person, it feels like the world has never held a man before. The singer wants to hold this person forever, even if they can't heal their hurt.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about how everything good in life seems to lead back to this person. They feel like they exist for love, and only for love. They can't imagine being forbidden from loving this person because they feel like their life didn't truly begin until they met them. They feel like they were torn apart until they found this person, who is their other half and the only thing that makes them whole. The two of them are leaning out for love and will lean for love forever.
The song ends with the singer declaring their love for the person and saying that when the person says their name, it feels like an ocean in their veins. They exist for love, only for love, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

Fun facts:
Aurora wrote this song in 2017 when she was in love.
The sound is from an old demo tape, she didn't want to lose the emotional aspect of this original recording, so she keeps it. The violins were put on afterwards.
Her costume was made by her sister, Victoria, from old clothes and other objects found in Aurora's apartment.
Aurora's other sister, Miranda, was in charge of the makeup.
Aurora made the pearl necklace from pearls she found in her closet.
As mentioned, Aurora Directed the video.
The whole project took 10 hours.
The girls dancing, is two of Auroras friends.
She said the empty seats are because this isn't a show, it is how she feels, there is no one watch.
Oh, and she plays harp so that is what you are hearing.
AND THIS IS DONE IN FIRST TAKE ITSELF.
SHE IS A GODDESS
