Aurora Borealis
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're not in peril, we are in apocalove
So let's go walking, or Christmas shopping
No, let's do something a bit more shocking
Let's go to the windmill
Let's find some catharsis
Let's go to the graveyard in cover of darkness
And it's okay, I've done this tons of times
Well, maybe once a year since I was very young
It will be fine, okay?
I do this all the time
And nothing could go wrong
Unless that's what you'd like
Is this the first time that you've ever seen Aurora Borealis crush mankind?
The wind chimes chiming with the screams
A pretty winter night
Your hand in mine
The horizon is a fog from the breath of everyone
And I hope you're having fun
I just had to share with someone
This is the empty building that I call my home
Baby it's cold inside, don't leave me here alone
There's no good movies, but there's a fire
Well, scented candles that are on fire
So let's take the night off
Be joyful and joyously enjoy the moonrise
And let it destroy us
See, it's okay
As long as we believe we'll be okay
As if anything could go wrong on Christmas eve
Okay, you know I'm glad you're here
So I can show you this before I disappear
Is this the first time that you've ever seen Aurora Borealis crush mankind?
A flashlight underneath my chin
A pretty winter night
Your hand in mine.
Now we're swallowed by the fog from the breath of everyone
I can barely see you now, but your smile is a frown
Yeah i knew it had to stop because I always mess it up
And I get it if you run
I just had to share with someone
The lyrics to Lemon Demon's song "Aurora Borealis" are a beautiful blend of dark humor and heartfelt emotion. The song paints a picture of an apocalyptic winter night, with snowflakes falling from above and the horizon shrouded in a thick fog. But amidst the chaos and destruction, the singer finds solace in the company of someone they care about. They suggest doing something out of the ordinary, like going to a windmill, finding catharsis in a graveyard, or just enjoying the moonrise. The song is peppered with references to Christmas and winter, adding to the overall ambiance of the lyrics.
At the heart of the song is the idea that even in the face of disaster, companionship and love can help us find joy and meaning. The singer assures their partner that everything will be okay, even though they've only done this once a year since they were young. They share their feelings and fears, knowing that they might not have much time left.
One interesting aspect of the song is the use of repetition and contrast. The phrase "it's okay" appears several times throughout the lyrics, both as a comfort and a reminder that things are not okay. The juxtaposition of beauty and horror, joy and sorrow, adds to the complexity and depth of the song.
Overall, "Aurora Borealis" is a haunting and memorable song that captures the essence of winter and the power of human connection in the face of adversity.

the video is black and white.
the background is a light grey, with a snowflake pattern.
a bald, pale-eyed man, wearing a christmas hat, looks at and below the camera with a thousand-yard stare.
he has seen the end of all things.
he oversaw its creation.
he speaks.
"we knew the world would not be the same....
a few people.. laughed,
a few people cried,
most people were silent."
he turns his head away for a moment.
"i remembered the.. line from
the yuletide scripture, the bhagnata vita....
santa... is trying to persuade" he wipes a tear,
"the baby jesus that... he should do his duty.
and.. to impress him.. takes on his
multi-armed form... and says..
'now i am become christmas,
the destroyer of worlds.'
i suppose we all thought that,
one way or another."

She asked me if I wanted to go see a movie some time. I shouldn't. I can't get attached. "Sure" I said.
December 1, 2019
We went to the movies. We went to see a cheesy flick we could laugh at. We had a good time. I should cut it off now. I can't get attached.
December 3, 2019
We went to get dinner. She could see I was slightly hesitant, but I couldn't tell her why. I hope she didn't think it was because of her. Again, we had a good time. I learned more about her. She likes to read books and poetry. I called her a nerd. She grinned and agreed. She asked if I wanted to do anything else that night, and I said sorry, no, I have something else I need to do. I didn't. Good, I need to end it now. I can't get more attached.
December 12, 2019
We're in a relationship now. I'm not sure how she dragged me into this, but here we are. And I'm happy. For now. I've been thinking about telling her, but I know she'll just run like everyone else I tell. I guess I should just enjoy this while it lasts.
December 17, 2019
I told her. I don't know why I did but I told her. Everything. About how every year, on Christmas Eve all of humanity dies in a spectacle of brilliant light, leaving behind all new people. All of humanity, that is, except me. And I told her how every year these new people, this new iteration of humanity, never recognize me, and how I must start from scratch, every year. And I don't know what's crazier: This story, or the fact that she believed me. Or at least humored me. "Well, in a week we'll see if you're right anyway," she said, "and if not, I get to commit you to an insane asylum." That almost made me laugh. I tell her how, just maybe, if she's next to me when it happens, then maybe- "So you want to try to save me from it then?" she asked. I nodded, rather sheepishly. "Ok. On Christmas Eve, I'll be there." That was almost enough to give me hope.
December 24, 2019
I brought her to where I go every year. The top of a hill, in the middle of a forest, under a lone oak tree. "It has a great view of the end of humanity" I say. If anyone could make me tell jokes on Christmas Eve of all days, it was her. I tell her how when the light washes over the earth, sometimes even the geography changes, like caves and mountains can appear and disappear, and even the city layout can change. But this hill and this forest is always the same. "It's where it first happened, I think. When I was ten. The first time I was left alone in a new world." She looks at me, head tilted to the side, "You don't remember?" I say no, there have been so many worlds since then it's hard to keep track. And then we sit there, on top of the hill, under the lone oak tree, and wait. We talk about what this light that destroys humanity can be. "Could it be the aurora borealis?" She asks. Maybe. I've never seen it in person. "We should," she states, "you know, next cycle." Yeah, I say, almost inaudibly, I'd like that.
December 24, 2019, 11:00pm
It's happening. The lights descend down on the horizon, and a terrible boom is heard all the way here. She looks shocked at first, then mortified then paralyzed. I don't think I'll ever be able to get that face she made out of my mind, no matter how many worlds I live through. Tears swell in her eyes as she comes to the realization that everything she knows is coming to an end. I can empathize all too well. I start to think that maybe she believed I was joking. That this was some silly excuse to get her alone on Christmas Eve. I wish it was. Oh, how I wish it was. Please, just let me save this one, just one more year with her. I hold her in my arms as the light approaches. Just around a minute more now. Please, just this once.
December 25, 2019
I sob there, on top of the hill, under the lone oak tree, as the morning sun slowly exposes me to the world. I hear soft footsteps from behind. I shoot my head up to face them, with the smallest sliver of hope returning and dying once more. It's not her. She looks similar though. She gives a small jump, startled at my sudden reaction to her presence, but continues to approach when she sees I've calmed down. "What are you doing up here, all alone?" She asks. "I could say the same thing to you," I say, as I slowly pick myself up. "Well, I asked first," she smirks. I return it with the faintest of smiles, "I lost someone. Very recently, in fact. And I...I came here to be alone." Oh, she says, "I came here to be alone too. But just because I wanted to read." "Oh, so you're a nerd then?" I ask, without thinking. She grins. And agrees. "Well, you were here first, and obviously have a much better reason than me, so I'll leave you to your solitude," she says, as she begins to walk down the hill. "No," I say back, "actually, I don't really mind the company all that much." She turns around, and thinks on it. "Well, ok. But only if you tell me about yourself." "Well," I say, scratching my head, "there isn't that much to say right now." "That's fine," she says, without skipping a beat, and begins to walk back up the hill, to the oak tree, in the middle of the forest, with a great view of humanity.

The line "nothing could go wrong, unless thats what you'd like" is genuinely so romantic
Its my favorite part because it really captures the energy of a godlike weird monster taking out someone on a date and trying their best to impress them while not fully understanding social norms
I really hope neil is happy with that line because it actually gives me a ton of inspiration
