Aurora
fast and sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the sound of me crying
And my pulse runs a mile high
I think I might be dying
Guess it was only 50 bucks a night
And I shouldn't be whining
The host is upstairs sleeping tight so you keep it quiet
Push my head between your thighs
And we melt into the sheets
Shake like a clipper in the wind
While I sip your brother's gin
And Aurora sets the scene
And baby I can write the score
Gentle moans and creaky floors
So this is love
So this is love
I'm not sure what I had in mind
Keep your golden hands in mine
Walk back to the woods in your eyes
Keep your golden hands in mine
And if this is all that I have I don't give a fuck
Felt faint in the middle of the street
Could we start to head back
Not tamed as you fumble for your keys
You were in no state for a crack
We were a stone's throw from serene
I just hope my body lasts
Saw the fire on my skin
Felt unwell and let the time pass
But then you toss my clothes aside
Push my head between your thighs
And we melt into the sheets
Shake like a clipper in the wind
While I sip your brother's gin
And Aurora sets the scene
And baby I can write the score
Gentle moans and creaky floors
So this is love
So this is love
I'm not sure what I had in mind
Keep your golden hands in mine
Walk back to the woods in your eyes
Keep your golden hands in mine
The lyrics of Fast and Sea's song "Aurora" tells a vivid and sensual story of a night spent with a lover. The singer wakes up in the middle of the night, crying and feeling like they may be dying, but then all of their anxiety fades away as they are comforted by the physical presence of their lover. As they lay together in the sheets, the song describes the sounds of their love-making and the setting around them, including the gentle moans and creaky floors, the sensation of shaking like a clipper in the wind, and the taste of the brother's gin that they share.
Throughout the song, the singer's voice is filled with both longing and contentment. The lyrics convey a sense of intense affection and passion, while also hinting at underlying anxieties and uncertainties about the future. Ultimately, however, the song conveys a message of surrender, as the singer expresses that even if this night with their lover is all they have, they don't care.
The bridge of the song is particularly striking for its use of metaphorical language: "Walk back to the woods in your eyes / Keep your golden hands in mine." This passage speaks to the intense connection that the singer feels with their lover, and how it feels like they are journeying together through an enchanted world. The use of the word "golden" also conveys a sense of reverence for the lover, as though they are something precious and valuable that the singer wants to keep close.

Shook awake in the middle of the night
I was abruptly disturbed from my sleep
To the sound of me crying
I heard myself crying loudly
And my pulse runs a mile high
I am experiencing extreme anxiety
I think I might be dying
I feel like I am close to death
Guess it was only 50 bucks a night
I paid a cheap price for my stay
And I shouldn't be whining
I should not complain about it
The host is upstairs sleeping tight so you keep it quiet
I must remain silent so as not to disturb the host sleeping upstairs
As you toss my clothes aside
You threw my clothes aside
Push my head between your thighs
You pushed my head between your legs
And we melt into the sheets
We lay down on the bed
Shake like a clipper in the wind
We shake and move like a ship in the wind
While I sip your brother's gin
I was drinking your brother's gin
And Aurora sets the scene
The light that Aurora gives amplifies the attraction between us
And baby I can write the score
I can make music for this moment
Gentle moans and creaky floors
We both make soft, subtle sounds as the bed creaks
So this is love
We are in love.
I'm not sure what I had in mind
I'm uncertain about what I was thinking before this moment
Keep your golden hands in mine
I want you to hold my hands
Walk back to the woods in your eyes
We will go back to the forest we envisioned in your eyes
And if this is all that I have I don't give a fuck
I don't care if this is all I have, I am happy with this moment
Felt faint in the middle of the street
I started feeling unwell in the middle of the street
Could we start to head back
Can we start going back?
Not tamed as you fumble for your keys
You were not in a stable state while searching for your keys
You were in no state for a crack
You were in no good condition to handle a difficult situation
We were a stone's throw from serene
We were very close to being calm and peaceful
I just hope my body lasts
I hope I can stay healthy for a while
