Aurora
The K's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn)
(Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first?)
(Do it all in the name of love)
(Would yuo let me lead you even when you are blind?)
(In the darkness, in the middle of the night)
(In the silence when there's no one by your side)
(Would you call in the name of love)
Eh si, sei droga, ah, non c'è ne cura, ah
E il tuo profumo io, lo sento ancora, ah
Eh si, sei vita, ah, che si colora, ah
Eh si, sei bella, mia dolce Aurora
E se sorridi tu, sorride l'universo
E se dovessi andartene, lo sai che io mi perdo
E quando piangi, tu mi fai male, eh
Se spegni questo sole, spegni tutto, era glaciale
Ma ti sei vista? Con quegli occhi così stupendi
Ci vedo il mondo, ma tu non mi credi, sono immensi
Eh si, sei bella te lo devo dire ancora
Eh si, sei bella, mia dolce Aurora
Ti ho visto fuori li e già sognavo, uoh-oh
Mi hai visto fuori qui che già fumavo, yo
Dentro a quel bar, sai, non capivo più niente
Il tuo sorriso mi mandava fuori mentalmente
Eh si, a questa luna le ho chiesto un favore
Se quando io non ci sarò lei ti potrà abbracciare
E ho chiesto un favore anche a queste stelle
Se tu dovessi aver paura ti potranno illuminare
Eh si, sei droga, ah, non c'è ne cura, ah
E il tuo profumo io, lo sento ancora, ah
Eh si, sei vita, ah, che si colora, ah
Eh si, sei bella, mia dolce Aurora
E se sorridi tu, sorride l'universo
E se dovessi andartene, lo sai che io mi perdo
E quando piangi, tu mi fai male, eh
Se spegni questo sole, spegni tutto, era glaciale
The lyrics to The K's's song Aurora are all about the power of love and the intensity of one's emotional connection with another. The opening lines in particular pose a bit of a question, asking if the listener would be willing to go through pain or danger in the name of love. It's a provocative question that taps into the idea of love as something that can be both thrilling and potentially harmful. The chorus builds on this idea, asking if the person would follow the singer even in darkness or at times when they feel alone.
The verses of the song delve deeper into the singer's feelings for someone named Aurora (which happens to be a Latin name meaning "dawn"). The singer describes Aurora as "droga" (which means "drug" in Italian), indicating that being with her is addictive and irresistible. He references her scent and compares her to life and beauty. He also talks about how her pain affects him deeply, and how he wants to protect her from fear and harm.
Overall, the song is a tribute to the power of love and the way in which it can inspire and consume a person. It speaks to the adrenaline rush of falling in love and the way that connection can transform one's perspective on the world.

on Hometown
I keep on having all these dreams, that we’re not like other people.
It’s because I’m always falling, I’m not waking up on beaches, or fucking to the sand on sunny days.
But there’s no beach for miles, so it’s more just cheap cocaine on race days.
I’m waking up in piles of debt, oh how he wept, oh how he wept, oh how he wept.
Because he’s emptied all his wages into the pockets of the boys he hated when he was in his hometown.
Playing all his favourite sounds in the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on,
Playing all his favourite sounds in the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on.
And he heads out for the night, with dreams of easy women and watered-down pints.
And he’ll drink, and snort, and smoke until every single line blurs into one.
But then he’ll try to wade (?) his way through a sea of Balenciaga bags, expensive cars on PCP.
And he’s stomping over broken glass & broken dignity.
I hope he doesn’t get his face broken though, he’s not much of a fighter.
He just tells a girl he loves her, when he doesn’t even like her, in his hometown.
Playing all his favourite sounds in the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on,
Playing all his favourite sounds in the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on.
And he’s so easily persuaded by his need to feel sedated and the only way to get it is to empty all his wages into the pockets of the boys he hated when he was at school.
And he’s so easily persuaded by his need to feel sedated and the only way to get it is to empty all his wages into the pockets of the boys he hated when he was at school.
When he was in, when he was in his, when he was in, when he was in his hometown.
Playing all his favourite sounds in the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on,
Playing all his favourite sounds in the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on.
Put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on, put ‘em on.
