During his studies at Rhodes University Dave played a handful of instruments in multiple bands while also DJing at a couple of nightclubs. Upon arriving in Cape Town he was ready to use his experience in both live & electronic forms of music & fuse them to form a live electronic act, namely The Kiffness.
Dave has made his way from bedroom producer to building his own studio & becoming one of South Africa’s most reputable producers. He has collaborated with some of South Africa’s leading artists including Tresor, Shortstraw, Moonchild, Samuel Miller & Mathew Gold. With The Kiffness’ success on radio, the project has gained major momentum and the group has had the opportunity of playing headlining slots at some of South Africa’s most reputable festivals such as Rocking the Daisies, Splashy Fen & Park Acoustics to name a few. They’ve also played international shows in Seychelles, Lesotho, Swaziland (Bushfire), Zimbabwe (Vic Falls Carnival) & Vietnam.
Aurora
David Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You changed the shape of my roof
No, to the hooks that you've pierced through my skin
I've loved you with all of my heart
Your words inside the walls have never left
Never worn, never left my chest
Lost in a lifetime, a burden, a goldmine
Aurora
You're the ghost in the dark, every piece, every part of me
Aurora
As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be
Aurora
You're the ghost in the dark, every piece, every part of me
Aurora
As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be
My jaded heart was held by you
You changed the shape of my roof
No, to the hooks that you've pierced through my skin
I've loved you with all of my heart
Your words inside the walls have never left
Never worn, never left my chest
Aurora
You're the ghost in the dark, every piece, every part of me
Aurora
As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be
Aurora
You're the ghost in the dark, every piece, every part of me
Aurora
As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be
Aurora
Aurora
As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be
Aurora
You're the ghost in the dark, every piece, every part of me
Aurora
As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be
Aurora
These lyrics speak of a deep love that has left a profound impact on the singer's heart. The first stanza describes how this love has transformed the singer's outlook on life. Their "jaded heart" was "held" by this person, and their love has "changed the shape" of the singer's "roof" (likely a metaphor for their perspective or worldview). The singer acknowledges that this love has also caused them pain, as they speak of "hooks" being "pierced through" their skin. Despite this, the singer professes their love for this person "with all of [their] heart."
The second stanza delves deeper into the lasting impact of this love. The person's "words inside the walls" have "never left" the singer's "chest." The imagery here suggests that this love has become a part of the singer's very being, and that they carry it with them everywhere. Even though this love may be a "burden," it is also a "goldmine" that is "in every corner" of the singer's heart.
The chorus of the song repeats the name "Aurora," which likely refers to the person for whom the singer has such strong feelings. This person is described as a "ghost in the dark" - someone who lingers in the singer's mind and heart even when they are physically absent. The repetition of the chorus and the final line in particular ("As the light meets the sea, in the memories I will be") suggests that this love is something that will stay with the singer for a very long time, even if they are separated from the person who inspired it.
