Aura
Yuki Kajiura 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 to Yuki Kajiura's "Aura" feat. Emily Bindiger speaks on the singer's willingness to comfort someone who's going through a rough patch. The person is "near to the dark," meaning they are in a dark place in their life, possibly going through a rough patch or going through something that is causing them pain. Despite this, the singer will try to bring them hope by telling them about the sun, which is a metaphor for positivity, hope, and brightness. Although the person is in a difficult situation, the singer believes that they can still find joy in life, and they won't be able to escape their hope-filled visions of the world.
The song provides a sense of hope and comfort while acknowledging the reality of the person's suffering. The singer understands that the person will likely cry "all alone," but it doesn't discourage the singer from trying to bring a little bit of light into their life. The song concludes with the singer emphasizing that the sun is not in them, but in the person's eyes and ears, but irrespective of that, it does not matter to them.

Even in the darkest times, there is hope to be found
It does not much matter to me
It doesn't matter how long it takes, I'll still be there for you
