Puppet

AURORA's song 'Puppet' delves into the themes of control, manipulation, and the loss of autonomy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is metaphorically represented as a puppet, controlled by a woman who pulls his strings. This puppet imagery is a powerful metaphor for the man's lack of freedom and the dominance the woman holds over him. The repeated lines about taking control over another man's mind emphasize the extent of her influence and the man's helplessness in the situation.

The song also explores the internal conflict of the man, who dreams of escaping to a 'wonderland' where he can be free and regain his sense of self. However, each time he wakes up, he is reminded of his reality and the control she has over him. This duality between his dreams and reality highlights the psychological struggle he faces, torn between his desire for freedom and the hypnotic hold she has on him.

AURORA's haunting vocals and the repetitive nature of the lyrics create a sense of entrapment and inevitability. The mention of the wedding gown and the woman's materialistic demands further illustrate the imbalance in their relationship. The man is depicted as being unable to break free, even when he contemplates leaving. The imagery of bones hiding beneath the floor suggests a deeper, perhaps darker, history of control and submission. Through 'Puppet,' AURORA masterfully captures the essence of a toxic relationship where one person exerts overwhelming control over another, leaving the listener to ponder the complexities of power dynamics and personal freedom.
