Aurora
Caverns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm something else featured in my skin
In these broken mirrors my wildest shines begin

What if I had found her alone here like me
Nobody ever looks
So while they're sleeping

Oh, it's not because of the reason I try
To keep this sinking ship from going down

Oh yeah
Give me what you wanted
Won't you take me higher
Take the nip away

What if I had found her alone here like me
Nobody ever looks
So while they're sleeping

Oh, it's not because of the reason I try
To keep this sinking ship from going down

Oh yeah
Give me what you wanted
Won't you take me higher
Take the nip away

Grab your pillow tight
While the waves take you down at night
Over the falls is where I wanted to meet you
And silently keep you

So take me alive
I've seen it before
I wondered if I could take it anymore





So please remember to hold tightly
While we go over the fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Caverns's song Aurora suggest that the singer is someone who feels different from others and perhaps uncomfortable in their own skin. They mention broken mirrors, which could symbolize a distorted sense of self or identity. Despite feeling like an outsider, they long for connection and seem to hint at a missed opportunity to meet someone who might understand them. The lines "What if I had found her alone here like me / Nobody ever looks" suggest that the singer feels overlooked or invisible. They also mention trying to keep a "sinking ship from going down," which could represent a struggle with mental health or difficult circumstances.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Give me what you wanted / Won't you take me higher / Take the nip away." The meaning of these lines is somewhat ambiguous, but they could be interpreted as a plea to be accepted and lifted up by someone else. The phrase "the nip" could refer to a feeling of pain or discomfort that the singer wants to escape from. The final stanza of the song suggests that the singer is willing to take a risk and face the unknown ("Over the falls is where I wanted to meet you"). They urge the listener to "grab your pillow tight / While the waves take you down at night," perhaps as a way of saying that it's okay to be vulnerable and feel scared, but that they will be there to support them.
