AURORA
The Comfort of Finding Home Within
AURORA's song "Home" delves into the existential journey of seeking comfort and belonging in a world that often feels unkind and relentless. The lyrics express a sense of being lost and the continuous struggle for survival, rather than truly living. The repetition of 'We are not alive, we are surviving every time' underscores the idea that existence can be reduced to mere survival if one is devoid of joy, dreams, and aspirations. The song suggests that life's harshness can make us forget what it feels like to be truly alive, to be 'home' in a metaphorical sense.
The chorus, with its simple yet profound declaration 'We are home,' serves as a reminder that home is not necessarily a physical place, but a state of being where one feels at peace, safe, and content. AURORA's use of the phrase 'Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones' further emphasizes the concept that home is within us, in our very essence, regardless of our external circumstances. The song conveys a message of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to find their own sense of home within themselves, even when the outside world is challenging.
The soothing and reflective nature of the song is complemented by AURORA's ethereal voice and the dreamy soundscape, which together create a sense of warmth and rebirth. The line 'I feel warm again, I'm reborn again' captures the transformative power of embracing one's inner sanctuary. "Home" is a poignant reminder that amidst life's trials, we can find solace and strength within our own spirit, and in doing so, we can weather any storm.
