Chains of God

AURORA's song 'Chains of God' delves into the themes of innocence, curiosity, and the quest for freedom. The lyrics begin with a nostalgic reflection on childhood, where the speaker and a companion played under a specific tree. This tree symbolizes a place of safety and imagination, a sanctuary where the bounds of reality could be questioned. The recurring question, 'Why can't we fly?' represents a child's innate curiosity and desire to transcend the limitations imposed by the physical world and societal norms.

As the song progresses, the speaker admits to not having the 'right answer' to this profound question during their youth. This admission highlights the complexity of understanding and confronting the constraints that bind us, whether they are physical, emotional, or spiritual. The phrase 'chains of God' can be interpreted as the inherent limitations and rules set by nature or a higher power, which humans often feel compelled to challenge or escape from.

The song concludes with the speaker contemplating the idea of learning to fly, symbolizing a desire to break free from these constraints and explore new possibilities. The farewell to the 'cruel world' suggests a readiness to leave behind the harsh realities and limitations of the current existence in pursuit of something greater. AURORA's ethereal voice and haunting melodies amplify the song's themes, creating a powerful and introspective experience for the listener.
