Aurora
Ferran Palau Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fixaràs aquell termini
Ni molt d'hora ni molt tard
Mitges tintes no són bones
Decidir-se és complicat
I es complica aquella vida
Que tu creies tan senzilla
Romandries asseguda
Reflexiva a la cadira

Però ara és hora d'aixecar-se
I espolsar-se les engrunes
Mentre seies tan tranquilla
Van sortir-te les arrugues
Tu t'omplies tant la boca
Quan parlaves de ser lliure

Quina cosa veure't ara
Doncs no era tan fàcil viure

The lyrics of Ferran Palau's song "Aurora" reflect on the complexities of decision-making and the unexpected challenges and wrinkles that arise in life. The first lines suggest the struggle to find the right moment to make a decision, emphasizing the importance of not rushing or delaying. Half-hearted decisions are seen as unwise, and the complexity of life becomes evident to the singer, who believed it to be simple before. The image of sitting and reflecting in a chair symbolizes a moment of contemplation, but it is now time to get up and brush off the crumbs, implying the need to take action and face the consequences.

The lyrics further emphasize the contrasts between the singer's former notions of freedom and the reality of living. The phrase "Tu t'omplies tant la boca" (You filled your mouth so much) suggests that the singer once spoke a lot about being free, but now realizes that it was not as easy to live as envisioned. The realization of this discrepancy is portrayed through the introspective observation of the singer's current state, marked by the emergence of wrinkles. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of introspection, the recognition of life's complications, and the need to confront and adapt to these challenges.
