Aurora
Thorsteinn Einarsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could really use a little sunlight
but dawn is many hours away
And the night is getting even longer
Knowing you're not here with me

When I see you I see every colour
you are moving at the speed of light
It's like dreamin' with my eyes wide open
tell me where are you tonight?

But then again here comes the northern star
it shows me where you are
Oh
how could i forget?

Some nights of mystery,
magnetic history
that's all we ever had

Hey!
Aurora!
Why don't you stay?
'Cause something is missing when you're gone
Aurora!
Come out and play
Yeah, I know it's risky when you
dance like a queen through the night

Oh
I put my heart on the line
Aurora, I'm fine

And finally the morning's breaking
The beauty of the light of day
Can't compare with yours
Still everytime it chases you away

I miss your gravity
your electricity
the sky is open wide

Another evening,
another night breaks in
I meet you outside

Hey!
Aurora!
Why don't you stay?
'Cause something is missing when you're gone
Aurora!
Come out and play
Yeah, I know it's risky when you
dance like a queen through the night

Oh
I put my heart on the line
Aurora, I'm fine

Aurora I'm fine

Aurora I'm fine

Aurora I'm fine





Ende

Overall Meaning

Thorsteinn Einarsson's song "Aurora" is a wistful and longing ode to a lost love that he just can't seem to forget. Throughout the song, he laments that despite the beauty of the night and the breaking of dawn, his missing love Aurora is the one thing that makes the darkness of the night bearable. He sings of his desire for her presence and the effect that she has on him, using rich descriptions of color and light, proclaiming that she moves at the speed of light. He likens her to the northern star which shows him the way to her, and reminisces over the passion they shared.


But despite his longing, Einarsson acknowledges the risky dance of his relationship with Aurora, and how difficult it is to keep her close to him. Despite this, he still puts his heart on the line for her, declaring that he is fine, though it's clear he is anything but. As the morning breaks and he is left to face the day without her, he continues to miss her "gravity" and "electricity" - their deep connection that he just can't seem to let go of.


Overall, the song is a moving and heartfelt plea for a lost love, one that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of listeners.

I could really use a little sunlight
I am feeling down and could use some positivity in my life


but dawn is many hours away
Unfortunately, I have to wait a while for that sunlight to come


And the night is getting even longer
In the meantime, it seems like my problems are only getting worse


Knowing you're not here with me
Especially since you're not here to comfort me


When I see you I see every colour
But when I do get to spend time with you, everything feels vibrant and lively


you are moving at the speed of light
It's like you bring an energy and excitement into my life that I can't even keep up with


It's like dreamin' with my eyes wide open
Spending time with you feels like a surreal, dreamlike experience


tell me where are you tonight?
I miss you and wish you were here with me


But then again here comes the northern star
But in the darkness, I can see the northern star which reminds me of you


it shows me where you are
It helps me feel closer to you, even though you're not physically here with me


Oh
Expressing surprise and realization that I had not been seeing what was right in front of me


how could i forget?
I forgot that I can feel close to you even when you're not physically here with me


Some nights of mystery,
Our time together is full of wonder and enchantment


magnetic history
We have a deep, emotional connection


that's all we ever had
However, that's not enough for me and I want more from our relationship


Hey!
Addressing Aurora directly


Aurora!
Referring to Aurora as a symbol of the hope and excitement she brings into my life


Why don't you stay?
Asking Aurora to stick around and continue to bring that energy into my life


'Cause something is missing when you're gone
Noticing that I feel incomplete without Aurora's presence


Come out and play
Inviting Aurora to spend time with me and have fun


Yeah, I know it's risky when you dance like a queen through the night
Acknowledging that Aurora is wild and free-spirited, which can be both thrilling and scary for me


Oh
Expressing strong emotion


I put my heart on the line
Admitting that I am vulnerable and have exposed my feelings to Aurora


Aurora, I'm fine
Ending the song by reassuring Aurora that I am okay and still want her to be a part of my life


And finally the morning's breaking
The night is coming to an end and a new day is starting


The beauty of the light of day
Despite the beauty of the sunrise, it doesn't compare to the beauty of Aurora's presence


Can't compare with yours
Nothing can compare to the excitement and joy that being with Aurora brings me


Still everytime it chases you away
Even as a new day starts, Aurora's absence weighs heavy on my heart


I miss your gravity
I miss how Aurora brings me back down to earth and helps me focus


your electricity
I miss the thrill and excitement that Aurora brings to my life


the sky is open wide
The world feels open and full of possibility when Aurora is around


Another evening,
Starting another night without Aurora


another night breaks in
The darkness and my feelings of loneliness have arrived once again


I meet you outside
Looking forward to the next time I can be with Aurora


Aurora I'm fine
Ending the song by reassuring Aurora once again that I am okay and still want her in my life
