AURORA
Ghost Brigade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could I be your light,
when you are afraid?
Could I be the reason,
when you're asking why?
I could be a mistress,
for your lonely nights.
I would give you wings.
I am the gateway.
To another life.
You are on your way.
To a better place.
Descending weight.
Aroused by the warmth.
Like a moth circles the lantern.
You are calling us like a drug.
Everything is covered in white.
You can hear the silence.
Your heart stopped beating.
But you still keep walking.
Feeling lighter than air.
You are one with the sky.
Now you understand.
You are a frozen star.
Lower your armour.
Release the pain.
Cry like a newborn.
You are free again.
There is no violence.
In surrounding darkness.
There are no laws in this chaos of colours.
This weary burden.
Of eternal winter.




Fading away.
Aurora.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ghost Brigade's "Aurora" are a poetic exploration of death as a release from pain and suffering. The singer addresses someone who is afraid and lost, asking if they can be their guide and source of comfort. The singer offers to be a "mistress for lonely nights" and provide wings to allow the person to escape their pain and enter "another life."
