Aurora
The End of Electronics Lyrics

The lyrics of "Aurora" by The End of Electronics paints a vivid picture of a peaceful, yet almost haunting, Northern city awakening in the dawn hours. The song reflects on the dreams that the legendary cruiser "Aurora" - which played a key role in the Bolshevik Revolution - might be having at that time. The repetition of the line "what do you dream of, cruiser Aurora, at the hour when morning rises over the Neva" creates a haunting atmosphere that invites the listener to reflect not only on the city's past but also on the deeper meaning of existence.

The second verse of the song takes a trip down memory lane, evoking images of the cruiser as a powerful force during wartime. The mention of "black Bushlat" - which were the sailors' boots at that time - creates an additional layer of imagery about the cruiser's history. The third and final verse then takes a broader philosophical approach, drawing a parallel between the fate of ships and that of human destiny. The use of natural imagery, such as the "salty wind", "stormy skies", and "lightning", serves to emphasize the fragile nature of existence and how it all ties into the dreams of the cruiser Aurora.
