Her first original composition was titled ‘I Had A Dream’, which referred to how hard the world can be.

Aurora Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

they where born in the name of god
they where the superiors in the name of god

hey you outside the cold
dressed in white and looking old
what did you think you were told?

did you think we were living forever

did you ever fell? innocent?
i don't think so!
and yet i don't think as we fall deeper

why!!!

they were born in the name of god
they declined in the name of god!

why god?

hey you outside the cold

dressed in white and looking old
what did you think you were told?

Overall Meaning

The song "Psychedelic" by Aurora is a song that speaks to the idea of the power structures that govern our lives and how those structures often use religion as a means of control. The lyrics begin by speaking of those who were born in the name of god, implying that they were given a special authority or power over others from their birth. These people, the "superiors in the name of god," use their power to control and manipulate others.

The chorus of the song directly addresses those who have fallen under the spell of these power structures, asking "did you ever feel innocent?" This questioning of innocence speaks to the idea that those who are in power are often corrupt and immoral. The line "and yet i don't think as we fall deeper" suggests that the closer we get to these power structures, the more we see their flaws and the more we realize that they are not as pure or righteous as they claim to be.

The song ends with a questioning of god, asking "why god?" This can be interpreted as a questioning of the idea that religion and god are used as a means of control and oppression. The final lines of the song, "hey you outside the cold, dressed in white and looking old, what did you think you were told?" further emphasize the idea that those in power use religion as a means of control.
