See-Saw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will tell you 'bout the sun
You are here, no escape
From my visions of the world
You will cry all alone
But it does not mean a thing to me
Knowing the song I will sing
Come to me, I will tell
'bout the secret of the sun
It's in you, not in me
But it does not mean a thing to you
The sun is in your eyes
The sun is in your ears
I hope you see the sun
Someday in the darkness
The sun is in your eyes
The sun is in your ears
But you can't see the sun
Ever in the darkness
It does not much matter to me
The lyrics of See-Saw's song "Aura" seem to be about the eternal struggle between light and darkness, where the singer offers to guide the listener toward the light. The song starts with the singer saying that they will talk about the sun to someone who is near to the dark. They say that the listener is present, and there is no escape from their vision of the world. Even though the listener will cry alone, it doesn't mean anything to the singer. The singer then talks about singing a song until the darkness comes to sleep. They ask the listener to come to them, and they will reveal the secret of the sun, which is inside the listener, not in the singer. But it doesn't matter to the listener.
The next part of the song talks about the sun being in the listener's eyes and ears, and the singer hopes that the listener will see the sun someday in the darkness. However, the last line seems to contradict the hope expressed in the previous line. The singer says, "But you can't see the sun ever in the darkness. It does not much matter to me." This could be interpreted in two ways. The first interpretation could be that the singer doesn't care about the listener's ability to see the sun in the darkness. The second interpretation could be that the whole act of seeing the sun in the darkness is futile, and it doesn't matter to the singer.
Overall, "Aura" is a song that uses the metaphor of the sun to talk about the eternal struggle between light and darkness. The singer seems to be offering to guide the listener toward the light, but the listener seems to be uninterested or unable to comprehend the message.

If you are near to the dark
When you find yourself surrounded by darkness,
I will tell you 'bout the sun
I'll share with you the knowledge of the sun's light
You are here, no escape
You are present, with no way out
From my visions of the world
From the way I perceive the world around us
You will cry all alone
You will shed tears in isolation
But it does not mean a thing to me
However, it does not affect me personally
Knowing the song I will sing
Having the knowledge of the message I will share
Till the darkness comes to sleep
Until the darkness subsides to slumber
Come to me, I will tell
Seek me out and I will impart
'bout the secret of the sun
About the hidden knowledge of the sun
It's in you, not in me
The key to this knowledge is within you, not me
But it does not mean a thing to you
But it might not be of any consequence to you
The sun is in your eyes
The light of the sun is within your sight
The sun is in your ears
You can hear the sound of the sun's light
I hope you see the sun
I wish that you may visually perceive the sun's light
Someday in the darkness
At some point when you're in the darkness
But you can't see the sun
However, you might not able to see the sun's light
Ever in the darkness
Regardless of how long you're in the darkness
It does not much matter to me
This does not have a significant impact on me
