Aurora
Culprate & Bloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you went searching for the northern lights?
Or would your sickness cloud over
You mystic, you rover
All the beauty you were hoping to find?
When you saw them dance, did you whistle
And tempt them to come steal your life?
Or was your position to throw out superstition?
When that Aurora
Blew up for ya
Did I cross your mind?
That old Borealis
It don't care about us
But I would scream out at those lights
All your friends say that your dark brown eyes
Turned a fiery green that night
When atom and ion
Gave the earth to you to lie on
And taught you it was senseless to fight
With your face in the sand, you remembered
That you came here with no guarantees
So you gave up insisting
Jettisoned resisting
And walked hand-in-hand with your disease
When that Aurora
Blew up for ya
Did I cross your mind?
That old Borealis
It don't care about us
But I would scream out at those lights
That our love was real
Like magnetic fields
And the sun's wind when they danced in our eyes
The song "Aurora" by Culprate & Bloom explores the theme of searching for beauty and meaning in life, even with the presence of sickness and uncertainty. The lyrics contemplate whether the vibrant colors of the northern lights would be visible to someone with cloudy eyes due to sickness. The person is described as a mystic and a rover, indicating their desire for something more beyond their current circumstances.
The lyrics suggest that the person might have hoped the northern lights would bring beauty and magic into their life. They wonder if this person attempted to lure the lights closer, perhaps believing that the lights could steal away their sickness or bring a profound change. However, it is also mentioned that they might have approached the situation with skepticism and resisted any superstitious beliefs.
The chorus ponders the person's thoughts when the Aurora (northern lights) appeared. It questions if the person remembered the singer, acknowledging the captivating power of the lights. The verse continues by emphasizing that the lights, represented by the Borealis (another term for the northern lights), are indifferent to human concerns. Despite this, the singer expresses their longing to scream at the lights, offering a contrast between the wonder of nature and the individual's emotional connection.
The final verse portrays the person's experience lying on the earth, feeling the energy of atoms and ions influencing their being. It suggests that in this moment, they let go of resistance and accepted their disease. The lyrics imply that the person had come to terms with the unpredictability and impermanence of life. The concluding lines evoke the memory of a deep and genuine love, comparing it to the magnetic fields and solar winds that dance in our eyes, symbolizing its power and intensity.
Overall, "Aurora" invites reflection on the interplay between human existence and the mysteries of nature, highlighting the fragility and resilience of the human spirit amidst adversity.
