Aurora
in-exile Lyrics

The lyrics of "Aurora" by in-exile convey a deeply personal and emotional struggle. The opening lines, "Reshaping me! Glimmering I notice that a light sheer breaks, from being unseen," suggest a transformation or change occurring within the singer. They feel a newfound light entering their life, but they are uncertain about the impact it will have on them. The heavy rain symbolizes doubt and negativity that has plagued the singer for a long time, but now they have found someone who has helped them "breathe again." This person is like a soothing presence, singing their name violently, drawing them in, as the singer pleads for them to stay and share their burdens.

The mention of the aurora's light being blinding and straight through the singer's eyes represents the overwhelming and intense nature of their experiences. It is as if this newfound light reveals the truth and reality of their existence. The message about the singer's fate being sealed and their refusal to let go suggests that they have accepted a certain destiny or path, but it leaves them questioning if it is real or if it will just awaken them in darkness and isolation. The feeling they have craved for too long, possibly a sense of purpose or connection, is still elusive.

The lyrics take a darker turn as the singer expresses feeling frozen in time, far from erratic, and finding a home in this state. They speak of completing a cycle, indicating a sense of resignation or acceptance of their situation. The mention of being a template for the transcendent being suggests that they feel they exist only to serve others or fulfill a predetermined role. The repetition of feeling the stars reshaping them emphasizes the ongoing transformation and the influence of external forces on their identity.

In the final section of the lyrics, the singer's despair and confusion intensify. They question how they ended up in this place and if they even exist anymore. The line about giving their life but being tossed aside like a fleeting tomb implies a sense of betrayal or abandonment. They are searching for a purpose or meaning, but their line, their connection to something greater, has been severed. The mention of a mist of tears and questioning their own existence evokes a deep sense of loneliness and disorientation. The pitch-black emptiness and the soul of the aurora signify a vast and infinite void that the singer is confronted with.
