All Is Soft Inside

AURORA's song 'All Is Soft Inside' delves into the contrast between the external hardness of the world and the internal softness of emotions and vulnerability. The lyrics express a sense of feeling down and the struggle to maintain one's true essence ('I was a rose / I was an animal') amidst a world that can be unyielding and cold ('All around is stone'). The artist pleads for stability and resistance against change that might compromise her identity.

The chorus of the song ('All that I know / Lies within emotion') suggests that true knowledge and understanding come from an emotional place, rather than the hard facts and reality that surround us. The colors that come to the artist represent fleeting moments of clarity and beauty in a world that often feels dark. This metaphorical use of color and light versus darkness underscores the theme of finding hope and guidance in a challenging world.

Towards the end of the song, there is a shift towards a collective experience ('Did you know / That we're all / Turning softer inside?'). It's a call to recognize our shared humanity and the purity that can be preserved when hearts are open and connected. The acknowledgment that the universe is wild suggests an acceptance of the chaos of life, and the recognition that within that chaos, there is still a softness and a potential for emotional depth and connection.
