Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lay my hands upon this ground
For the thousandth time
I call him in, his earth is mine
Before I make the offering
Remember all the faces that I've seen
Now all the marks have settled on my skin
That I've been
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
War inside my mind
Behind my eyes it's coming down
For the thousandth time
I feel too numb to even mind
Before I make the offering
Remember all the faces that I've seen
Now all the marks have settled on my skin
From all the different places that I've been
That I've been
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
I, I don't know where I am, or where I'll go
Where to even begin when I know
What lies behind makes no sense in my mind
But I know that it's time to let go
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
I'm lucky to be alive
I'm lucky to be alive
Aurora's song, Lucky, reflects on the precarious nature of life and the universality of human struggle. The song grapples with themes of mortality, mental health, and the search for purpose. The opening lines, "When, when I am down, I lay my hands upon this ground, For the thousandth time, I call him in, his earth is mine," allude to the singer's feelings of detachment and isolation. The earth acts as a grounding force, providing solace and a sense of belonging.
The singer's mental state is further explored in the lines, "War inside my mind, Behind my eyes it's coming down, For the thousandth time, I feel too numb to even mind." These lyrics illustrate the internal struggle and turmoil experienced by the singer. The phrase "for the thousandth time" suggests a sense of exhaustion and repetition in dealing with these emotions.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the people and experiences that have shaped them, acknowledging the marks left on their skin from "all the different places that I've been." The lyrics suggest that these experiences have contributed to a newfound appreciation for life and the "light" that comes with it. The repeated refrain of "Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive" serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing it.
Overall, Lucky is a poignant and introspective song that speaks to the human experience of navigating the highs and lows of life.

When, when I am down
When I am feeling down
I lay my hands upon this ground
I touch the ground, seeking comfort
For the thousandth time
For the umpteenth time
I call him in, his earth is mine
I connect with nature, feeling a sense of ownership of the earth
Before I make the offering
Before I give something in return
Remember all the faces that I've seen
Recalling all the people I've encountered in my life
Now all the marks have settled on my skin
I bear physical scars from my experiences
From all the different places that I've been
From all the various places I've traveled
And I feel the light for the very first time
I feel a sense of enlightenment
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
Not everyone understands the gravity of my existence
War inside my mind
A battle going on inside my head
Behind my eyes it's coming down
Something is happening behind my eyes
I feel too numb to even mind
I am too numb to care
I, I don't know where I am, or where I'll go
I am unsure of my whereabouts or my future
Where to even begin when I know
I am unsure of where to start
What lies behind makes no sense in my mind
I struggle to understand my past experiences
But I know that it's time to let go
I know that I need to move on
I'm lucky to be alive
I am fortunate to still exist

I don't know where I am, where I'll go
Where to even begin when I know
What lies behind,
It makes no sense in my mind
But I know is time, to let go~
This song is saying
Merely living is an acomplishment
Do you fill that in her music?
If you understand that, you may not feel you don't need others things to make you completely.
We are already born complete
Everything we can do is blessing
Because we already alive and still living,
Pal
But our experiences in the society seems contradicted to this, we are born complete,
So it make us to chase external accomplishments to feel we are merely complete.
That's is not healthy and actually is toxicity.
Don't get infected by the wicked human society.
Please get infection of a different kind. The lovely and self loving one.

Afortunado
Cuando, cuando estoy deprimido
Pongo mis manos sobre este suelo
Por milésima vez
Lo llamo, su tierra es mía
Antes de hacer la ofrenda
Recuerda todas las caras que he visto
Ahora todas las marcas se han asentado en mi piel
De todos los diferentes lugares en los que he estado
Que he sido
Y siento la luz por primera vez
Nadie sabe que tengo suerte de estar vivo
Y siento la luz por primera vez
Nadie sabe que tengo suerte de estar vivo
Guerra dentro de mi mente
Detras de mis ojos esta bajando
Por milésima vez
Me siento demasiado entumecido para siquiera importarme
Antes de hacer la ofrenda
Recuerda todas las caras que he visto
Ahora todas las marcas se han asentado en mi piel
De todos los diferentes lugares en los que he estado
Que he sido
Y siento la luz por primera vez
Nadie sabe que tengo suerte de estar vivo
Y siento la luz por primera vez
Nadie sabe que tengo suerte de estar vivo
Yo, no se donde estoy, ni donde iré
Por dónde empezar cuando sé
Lo que hay detrás no tiene sentido en mi mente
Pero sé que es hora de dejarlo ir, oh
Y siento la luz por primera vez
Nadie sabe que tengo suerte de estar vivo
Y siento la luz por primera vez
Nadie sabe que tengo suerte de estar vivo
Tengo suerte de estar vivo
Tengo suerte de estar vivo

The comment section on an Aurora video is probably the nicest place on the web.
@leodobrodenka5546
+Moefilms Productions Agree and no one has a reason to insult her at all because Aurora is beautiful in heart and mind.
@queniffr278
+Moefilms Productions I had that thought, too. Have a happy day.
@sabrinatolentino2156

I've seen one comment , but that was reported and the comment deleted. 99,99% are nice people! Have a splendid day!
@arushigarg876
It is, because I think that us fans understand how important it is to be kind and I think after seeing how angelic Aurora is, we aspire to be like her and better ourselves and we rejoice in her being like a little secret of ours
@DancinSurfer777
If you listen to Winter Bird and then Lucky, you feel the journey from despair to life. So beautiful.
