In Boxes
Aurora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Calling out for the lonely
I'm going home
I've been doing awful things again
I hear them laughing in my head
I went out in the morning looking for a man
I could see it were the perfect one
Standing all alone
I've been walking ahead for a while
And dragging up body behind
My baby, I had a good time
My baby, I know you won't mind
Got them all collected in these boxes
Underneath my bed
Here I am still lonely with the souvenirs
I would kill for some company
Temporally
I did once have a lover only kept his hands
They can dance and play the songs for me
Play until I sleep
I've been walking ahead for a while
And dragging up body behind
My baby, I had a good time




Got them all collected in these boxes
Underneath my bed

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
