Aurora – Animal
An evening pause: Beautiful and haunting, but listen closely to these lyrics and you will hear our dark future singing.
Hat tip Lee Stevenson.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

She is a beautiful little high energy musical / performance genius. Very unique. Weird? Maybe a little.
And while her lyrics appear to be disturbing initially in the context of our modern world, she IMO is more of a traditional type woman than she presents as and is searching for love, belonging and leadership (Just like every other young / woman does) although in her bio she does say that she has had relationships with both men and women.
That is my read anyway.
Aurora: Conqueror:
“Broken mornings, broken nights and broken days in between
Open ground, the sky is open, makes an open sea
Just like in fiction, in every addiction
Oh oh, fantasy’s taking over, awake me
I’ve been looking for the conqueror
But you don’t seem to come my way
I’ve been looking for the only one
But you don’t seem to come my way
Broken me and broken them
You are broken too
Open ears, their eyes are open
Makes me call for you”
Animal:
“You are the victim
The victim of my love
I dangle up on rooftops
Before I push you off
I stand at the headlights
Looking for a corner where I can’t be found
With a goddess in my right eye
Watching every lover on the battleground
You’re hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle
If I am alone
Make me a stranger
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)”
