I still remember with horror a video with some lions eating both a just new born baby and his buffalo mother. as some lyrics can indeed be view both ways.Īnyway I think that if something is soulless that will be 'Mother Earth' - not us born and forged by her implacable laws. I guess Aurora later repurposed the meaning to be in sync with her views regarding the environment. And the combination of the lifting chorus melody with her killer voice and dark lyrics is a classic Aurora mark.īut I thought it's about some bad person in someone's life - 'I have pieces of your hate in my soul' / 'I gave both sides of me' / 'Look at me now, don't tell me how I feel inside'. One of my preferred songs - I often start my Aurora listening sessions (while going out skating) with this song. But this theory is awesome and makes sense. Not sure if the author tries to imply how the Witcher or Ciri is like one for their nonhuman conditions. The language issues remind me of the creature not used to speaking human languages in The Witcher. She has very coherent ideas about death and nature, which is pagan, Celtic and/or Scandinavian. And it's used once probably because of aesthetic and literature considerations like 'my children.' The offering is death, and also the death in Under Stars. Remember all the faces that I've seen' in Lucky. 'The deep magnetic sounds' and 'Hunting for a victim lying down' are about how Mother Earth takes our dead into the dark, the primitive and raw energy, based on the logic we know from In Bottles and Animal.Īnd 'a piece of your heart' and 'your hands' nurture Mother Earth like any organic beings.

It's hard to know 'my children' is body parts if you don't know Puppets and In Boxes. But the explanations for In Bottles help a lot for her writing perspective. It's like a Scandinavian saga about the fallen kingdom but also sci-fi to me.Īnd this one is quite difficult to decipher. The second chorus carries more images and makes the song more complicated. And she always wants silver lining in her songs. She has to tell the story in 5 mins, and it's already one of her longest songs.

Maybe because this one is quite soundtracky and almost epic. Aurora probably never wrote down the lyrics to this song. It was more important to convey the energy of the vision than to make perfect sentences. The author was recording the crazy vision he had. It kind of reminds me of the book of Revelations in the New Testament, which is known to have a lot of grammatical errors too. This might explain why this song has so many grammatical errors (more than any other of her songs). You might say that she's channeling Gaia. It was only later that she realized that it was a cry of Mother Earth. According to the fandom page she didn't know what the song meant for a while. The pre-chorus 'give me a piece of your heart.' is only used once, while the second verse is bookended by 'come my.' and 'come back.' And 'soulless creatures' is sung just once in the middle of the song in a lonely way.Īurora said in her recent livestream that she didn't realize that the second chorus was different until she finished recording the song. The second chorus has totally different lyrics and a different melody. It's got one of the most interesting song structures.
