The Woman I Am

AURORA's song 'The Woman I Am' delves into the profound journey of self-discovery and self-love. The lyrics reflect a deep introspection, where the artist questions societal expectations and the pressures that come with them. The repeated phrase 'The woman I am is taken back to nothing' suggests a stripping away of external influences and a return to one's true self. This process of deconstruction is essential for understanding and embracing one's identity without the weight of societal norms.

The chorus, 'I found the only woman I need to love,' is a powerful declaration of self-love. AURORA emphasizes that the most important relationship one can have is with oneself. This line is repeated multiple times, reinforcing the message that self-acceptance and self-love are paramount. The use of the word 'only' highlights the exclusivity and importance of this self-relationship, suggesting that external validation is secondary to internal acceptance.

AURORA also touches on the complexities of self-acceptance in a world filled with expectations and obligations. The lyrics 'Complicated, it's getting to be happy with the who you are' resonate with many who struggle to find contentment amidst societal pressures. The song encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, despite the complications and challenges that may arise. AURORA's ethereal voice and the repetitive, almost meditative quality of the lyrics create a soothing yet powerful anthem for self-love and acceptance.
