“Little boy” represents the innocence, lost in the attacks.
Little Boy In The Grass
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(?) As he told me he could hear the children wanting to pass
Sounds all floating in the air
Still today we hear them
Finally we are over it
Finally we are over it
Let them run from the violence
The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes
(?) Take his hands and jump to the sky
Still today you hear them
Finally I am over it, over it oh
Finally I am over, over it oh
When will my healing come?
When will my healing come along?
Sinking like a snow
When will my healing come?
Finally I am over it, oh
Finally I am over it, oh
Finally I am, am...
The song "Little Boy in the Grass" by Aurora is a poignant piece that depicts scenes of innocence, violence, and healing. In the first verse, the singer narrates a story of how she found a little boy in the grass who could hear the children wanting to pass. This boy, with his sharp hearing, can perceive the sounds and feel the overwhelming violence in the world around him. The lyrics conjure up images of children playing, laughter, and joy, but juxtapose them with the sound of violence, which creates a sense of confusion and despair. The singer's use of the phrase "still today we hear them" affirms that the violence continues to exist and that it's still felt today.
However, as the song progresses, the singer offers hope and healing to the little boy and to her listeners. The repetition of the phrase "Finally we are over it" conveys a sense of relief and closure, as if the violence that once plagued them has been transcended. The singer implores us to allow the children to run from the violence, as the world is too cold and bright for their innocent eyes. She suggests that we should take the hands of the little boy and jump to the sky, which could mean that we should help him rise above the violence and pain he's experienced. The overall message of the song seems to be that although the world can be a violent and harsh place, hope and healing are possible.

I will tell you the story about the little boy I found in the grass
Let me share with you the story of a little boy I discovered lying in the grass
As he told me he could hear the children wanting to pass
He mentioned that he could hear the sound of children who were eager to go by
Sounds all floating in the air
The noises were wafting through the atmosphere
Still today we hear them
Even now, we can still hear those same sounds
Finally we are over it
At last, we have moved on from it
Let them run from the violence
Allow the children to escape from the brutality
The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes
The planet is far too harsh and stark for their young eyes
Little boy runs beside them
The boy accompanies them as they flee
Take his hands and jump to the sky
Hold his hands and leap upward towards the heavens
When will my healing come?
When will I be able to recover?
Sinking like a snow
Sinking like the snow that melts away
Finally I am over it, oh
At last, I have let go of it
Finally I am over it, oh
Finally, I am done with it
Finally I am, am...
Finally, I am...

I will tell you the story about the little boy I found in the grass
Tired, solace, he told me he could hear the children wanting to pass
Sounds of laughters in the air
Still today we hear them
Finally we are over it, oh
Finally we are over it
(Let them run)
Let them run from the violence
The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes
Little boy runs beside them
As they take his hands and jump to the sky
Still today you hear them
Finally I am over it, over it oh
Finally I am over, over it oh
When will my healing come? when will my healing come along?
Sinking like a stone, when will my healing come along?
Finally I am over it, oh
Finally I am over it, oh
Finally I am, am...

After listening to Aurora, i'm having a hard time listening to anyone else. It's more than just the music, it's the innocence of her, but yet i feel she has such a deep understanding of the human condition.

kenny bob you are not the only one. I felt the same way and I still feeling it. After discovering her and her amazing music, sudenly all the music I used to like became very simple to me, her music is amazing, is something magic. She is very young but she and her music sound like she has been a lot of time in this world.

This song deals with the Utøya massacre in 2011, where her friend was killed at the age of 17. Aurora was 15 at this time.
"Today is the day. 22nd of July. It's been 4 years since you left us. Since all of you left us. How time flies, we even find ourselves forgetting for a moment, nearly moving on .. Not because we forget you, but because we remember to live. But know that I will always remember you, and everyone that went down with you. I will think of love, and send love to those who needs it this today. I hope no one crying alone. Rest in peace my friend. You are free now. " - AURORA

To everyone complaining on the way she moves... You certainly haven't felt, actually felt music.
