Invisible Wounds

AURORA's 'Invisible Wounds' delves into the complexities of emotional pain and the often unseen scars that shape our lives. The song opens with vivid imagery, describing the futile attempts to mend a relationship, likening it to stitching with thread that doesn't exist. This metaphor highlights the frustration and helplessness felt when trying to fix something that is fundamentally broken. The artist's use of 'blood' and 'thread' symbolizes the deep emotional investment and the personal cost of these efforts, emphasizing the toll it takes on one's mental and physical well-being.

The chorus reveals a desperate need for understanding and forgiveness, underscoring the mutual hurt experienced by both parties. AURORA touches on the fear of losing one's inner light and magic, a poignant reflection on self-worth and the fear of being irreparably damaged. This fear is compounded by the realization that sometimes, despite our best efforts, we cannot heal each other. The lyrics 'I know the best I can isn't always good enough' resonate deeply, capturing the essence of human imperfection and the pain of knowing that our actions can hurt those we care about.

As the song progresses, AURORA acknowledges the shared pain and the 'invisible wounds' inflicted by our homes and past experiences. The repeated refrain 'I can't heal you, and you can't heal me' serves as a sobering reminder of the limitations of love and the necessity of self-healing. The song's haunting melody and ethereal vocals amplify the emotional weight of the lyrics, creating a powerful and introspective listening experience. 'Invisible Wounds' is a poignant exploration of the invisible scars we carry and the difficult journey towards healing and self-acceptance.
