You
Aurora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How 'bout getting off these antibiotics?
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up?
How 'bout these transparent dangling carrots?
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo?

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything?
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once?
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you?
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time?

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you silence

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic?
How 'bout remembering your divinity?
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
How 'bout not equating death with stopping, with stopping?

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you, thank you silence

Oh, oh
Yeah, oh




Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

Overall Meaning

The song "You" by Aurora is a melancholic and dark tribute to someone who has left the singer's life. The song opens with the singer standing in a place without human presence, but with a shining sun in her hand representing the memory of the departed person. The sun sparks with the "dead beams" of the person's memory, and the atmosphere is set with a sense of finality and loss.


The lyrics talk about how the departed person may have once loved their life, but now even though the pain is too strong, they can not run or crawl away from their life. The eternal sun burns not just with energy but also with the fire of unfulfilled desires and raging passions. The fiery atmosphere represents the anger and angst that the singer feels, and how the departed person's memories are forever planted in her consciousness.


The lyrics then take a philosophical turn, questioning the purpose of life and the limitations that we bind ourselves in. The song speaks to the idea of breaking down the walls of imprisonment that our passions and desires can create. In conclusion, the song is a haunting tribute to a person who has left but is ever-present in the singer's memories.

Lyrics

I was listening to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands, down
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, for me, down

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true, down
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?…


I admit this is from the description. I just Pasted this so people can see
