Aurora – Animal
An evening pause: Beautiful and haunting, but listen closely to these lyrics and you will hear our dark future singing.

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)”
