Martyr of Life
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You nawseate by your mediocre life
Gasping for breath like a dying child
Lowering your head from the heaviness
of the stone that has kept you from your selfishness
You strumble down the path of discontent
Claw dirt with your trembling hands
while you run like hell against the gallows
Gallows of God So have a cigar
You're soon going so far
Drink up your wine
You'll be just fine boy
You're a matyr of life
walking through the gallows of God
[Solo: Broberg]
You cause yourself to flee along the misery
Perishing in frustrations beyond infinity
Numb emotions flooding through your soul
Death and freedom is your everlasting goal
So over your shoulder
you throw your heavy cross
You're a matyr of life
walking through the gallows of God
The song "Martyr of Life" by Aurora talks about the struggles of living a mediocre life and the constant pursuit of something more. The lyrics describe a person who is suffocating in their own existence, looking for a way to escape the heaviness that weighs them down. The song's protagonist is carrying a heavy burden, represented by a stone that has kept them from their selfish desires, and is clawing their way forward on a path of discontent. They try to escape this feeling by drinking wine and smoking cigars, but it's not enough.
The song speaks to the idea that we all want to be more than what we are, but sometimes we are afraid to take risks or make big changes. We get stuck in a rut, and it feels like there is no way out. The singer in the song is like a martyr, sacrificially living a life that feels like a death sentence. They are walking through the gallows of God, which could be interpreted as the challenges and obstacles of life, in search of something more meaningful.
Overall, "Martyr of Life" is a somber but powerful song that speaks to the human experience. We all face struggles and challenges, and sometimes it feels like we are walking through the gallows of God. But there is always hope for something more, if only we are willing to take risks and embrace change.
