Through The Eyes Of a Child

AURORA's song 'Through The Eyes Of a Child' is a poignant reflection on the desire to experience the world with the freshness and innocence of a child's perspective. The lyrics suggest a yearning to escape the complexities and pains that come with adulthood, symbolized by the 'scars we cover up with paint' and the 'sour lies' preached by society. AURORA expresses a preference for the unblemished and straightforward view of life that children possess, which is untainted by the cynicism often found in adults.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the healing and pure nature of seeing and feeling the world as a child does. Phrases like 'darker times will come and go' and 'times you need to see her smile' reflect on the transient nature of hardships and the enduring power of simple joys. The reference to 'mothers hearts are warm and mild' and the tactile imagery of 'when a human strokes your skin' evoke a sense of comfort and genuine connection, which AURORA associates with childlike innocence.

The song concludes with a plea, 'Please don't leave me here,' which can be interpreted as a call for help to retain this childlike essence in a world that often demands a loss of innocence. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of nurturing our inner child to remain connected to what truly matters in life: genuine emotions, simplicity, and the ability to find joy in the smallest things.
