Aurora
Mo.Men.Tum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your prey looks you in the eye
I never thought this mountain of truth
Would crumble into lies
As I make my way through trees
And paths I've never walked
I step over the places I've died
But never bothered to chalk
One line at a time
Strip it down to simple
Empty the mind
I just made myself a place to go
When I fall from grace
And I'm not looking to run away
All I can do is pray
On day you'll finally find your way
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Don't let it get away
Don't let go
Hold on tight
Don't let it get away
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Don't let it get away
Don't let go
Hold on tight
Don't let it get away
Tossing and turnin'
While your forgettin' I'm learning
And while their lootin' and burnin'
I'm in here writing my sermon
And I want your love so bad
And you can't have it back
Until I know for a fact
That you'll never look back
Until your practically so far away
That all the memories fade
And everything's the perfect shade of grey
Wish I may
Wish I might
Make it through alive tonight
And this fight is ongoing
And I never seem to win
And God forgive me if I feel like giving up
It's been quite sometime now
And I still can't seem to heal this cut
So while I stand here and bleed
Breath and fight this disease
I never once let it get me down to my knees
I looked back, attacked
Relentless and tired
I can't bring myself to bury
My only desire
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Don't let it get away
Don't let go
Hold on tight
Don't let it get away
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Don't let it get away
Don't let go
Hold on tight
Don't let it get away
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Don't let it get away
Don't let go
Hold on tight
Don't let it get away
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Don't let it get away
Don't let go
Hold on tight
Don't let it get away
Tossing and turnin'
While your forgettin' I'm learning
And while their lootin' and burnin'
I'm in here writing my sermon
And I want your love so bad
And you can't have it back
Until I know for a fact
That you'll never look back
Until your practically so far away
That all the memories fade
And everything's the perfect shade of grey
The lyrics of Mo.Men.Tum's song "Aurora" explore themes of fear, deception, personal growth, and the longing for love.
The opening lines, "You're a scared hunter, When your prey looks you in the eye," suggest a feeling of vulnerability and unease when confronting the truth. The mention of a "mountain of truth crumbling into lies" indicates the crumbling of one's beliefs or understanding of the world. The singer reflects on their journey through uncharted territory, both physically and metaphorically, navigating through paths that they have never walked before and confronting their own past mistakes ("step over the places I've died, but never bothered to chalk"). This can be seen as a metaphor for personal growth and self-discovery, where the singer is decoding their life "one line at a time" and stripping it down to its simplest form.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of holding on tight, not letting go, and not allowing precious things to slip away. It speaks to the fear of losing something valuable or meaningful. The repetition of these lines suggests a sense of urgency and desperation in preserving or attaining what is desired. The verses that follow explore the idea of learning and growing while others may be distracted or engaged in destructive behavior ("while they're looting and burning, I'm in here writing my sermon"). The singer expresses a deep longing for love, acknowledging that it is something they desire intensely, but the love cannot be given back until they are certain that it won't be taken for granted.
The lyrics also touch on the struggle of enduring and fighting through difficult circumstances. The singer acknowledges that it has been a long and challenging journey, where they have not yet found healing ("I still can't seem to heal this cut"). Despite the ongoing battle, the singer remains determined not to let setbacks or pain bring them down to their knees. The mention of looking back, attacking relentlessly, and not burying one's desires implies a resilience and refusal to give up or let go of what brings them purpose or fulfillment.
The last repetition of the chorus serves as a reminder to hold on tight and not let go, emphasizing the importance of perseverance. It echoes the earlier themes of not allowing what is valued or desired to slip away. The final verse touches on the longing for love once again, expressing a hope that the memories of the past fade and everything becomes a perfect shade of gray, perhaps signifying finding peace or resolution in accepting things as they are.
Line by Line Meaning
You're a scared hunter
You are both afraid and pursuing something at the same time
When your prey looks you in the eye
When the thing you're pursuing confronts you directly
I never thought this mountain of truth
I never anticipated the weight of reality
Would crumble into lies
Would disintegrate and become deception
As I make my way through trees
As I navigate through challenges and obstacles
And paths I've never walked
And unfamiliar routes I have yet to explore
I step over the places I've died
I disregard the locations where I have experienced failure or loss
But never bothered to chalk
But never marked or acknowledged their significance
Decoding my life
Interpreting and deciphering the meaning of my existence
One line at a time
Taking it step by step, unraveling it gradually
Strip it down to simple
Reducing it to its core essence
Empty the mind
Clearing the thoughts and distractions
I just made myself a place to go
I have created a refuge for myself
When I fall from grace
When I lose favor or fail
And I'm not looking to run away
And I don't seek to escape the situation
All I can do is pray
The only option I have is to hope or wish
On day you'll finally find your way
Eventually, you will discover your true path
Hold on tight
Maintain a firm grasp
Don't let go
Do not release your grip
Don't let it get away
Do not allow it to evade or escape
Tossing and turnin'
Restlessly moving and struggling
While your forgettin' I'm learning
While you are neglecting, I am gaining knowledge
And while their lootin' and burnin'
And while others are pillaging and destroying
I'm in here writing my sermon
I am reflecting and composing my inner thoughts
And I want your love so bad
And I desire your affection intensely
And you can't have it back
And you cannot regain it
Until I know for a fact
Unless I am certain
That you'll never look back
That you will never revisit the past
Until your practically so far away
Until you are practically distant
That all the memories fade
To the point where all the memories diminish
And everything's the perfect shade of grey
And everything becomes a neutral, indistinct hue
Wish I may
I wish earnestly
Wish I might
I wish strongly
Make it through alive tonight
Survive the current situation until morning
And this fight is ongoing
And this struggle persists
And I never seem to win
And I never appear to achieve victory
And God forgive me if I feel like giving up
And I ask for forgiveness if I contemplate surrender
It's been quite sometime now
It has been a considerable duration
And I still can't seem to heal this cut
And I am still unable to mend this wound
So while I stand here and bleed
Therefore, as I remain here and suffer
Breath and fight this disease
Breathe and resist this affliction
I never once let it get me down to my knees
I never allowed it to reduce me to a state of complete submission
I looked back, attacked
I confronted my past and confronted it aggressively
Relentless and tired
Persistent and fatigued
I can't bring myself to bury
I cannot force myself to conceal or hide
My only desire
My sole aspiration
