AURORA - Invisible Wounds

So I just listened to an entire album and all I can say is... wow. The production is just amazing, vocals otherwordly, it's just beautiful. I don't know many artists whose albums each bring something new to the table without losing it's magic along the way or without getting stale after a while. So that says a lot. It's been 5 albums already and I still don't get that feeling like "It feels like she's already said everything she wanted to say" which happens sometimes... (and it's fine if it does, every artist/person goes through their own journey). This kind of consistency in the quality of work is a sign of incredible talent and artistry (not just Aurora's, her entire team too, they all did great, great job).

"I know the best I can isn't always good enough"
Fuck that got me

The trembling in her voice in the "And I need you to stop needing me like I've needed you" makes me bawl my eyes out.

I love how sad this song sounds, like she’s letting go of something she doesn’t want to but has to

I always wanted to save other people because I can see their invisible wounds. But I learned I can never save anyone but myself. And I cannot also find the saving of my own problems from other people. And that message whispers to me loudly in this song.❤ I love your songs so much Aurora. Every song brought me healing. ❤

LYRICS (credit to @ElisaArnaud-xx1tt)


[Verse 1]
I squeeze into a small hole
Through the eyes of needles
To stitch you up again
Even though I know so well I can't fix anything
I look for blood to shed
Mistaking every vein for thread
Spreading out too thin as I'm lying in my bed
Barely existing

[Chorus]
And I need you
And I need you to understand
To understand

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I see light
And I fear it's only fantasy
Oh, wouldn't it be tragic
If there is no light in me, not any magic

[Chorus]
And I need you to forgive me
If you can
If you can

[Verse 3]
I know the best I can
Isn't always good enough
It hurts to know I hurt you
Like I know it hurts for you to know you've hurt me
And now my blood is yours
And life is slowly losing touch
How do you learn to tend to
These invisible wounds our homes gave us

[Chorus]
I can't heal you
And you can't heal me
Even if we wanted to
And how I wanted to
And I need you
To stop needing me
Like I've needed you
We both need to tend to the invisible wounds

[Outro]
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(Mm, la-la-la-la)
(Mm, la-lal-la-la)
(La-la-la-la)
(La, la, la, la)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

The instrumental feels like a group of fairy friends playing in secret in the woods during the early season of Summer.
It feels magical!
So beautiful!
It makes me want to dance in the sun...

This is so beautiful. It's like apologizing to the part of yourself that has been hurt the most.. it's like we already tried our hardest, but sometimes we just can't

This album reminds me of many of her unreleased songs that must have seemed “too experimental” or “to avant-guard” to be released by her management/labels. Now she has the opportunity to do whatever the hell she wants, and I’m overjoyed!

Man what id give to meet Aurora. I feel she could heal some invisible wounds just by being in her presence.

'And i need you to stop needing me
...' has me crying 🫀🍃

This song feels like walking in a field in spring on a bright day and realising how beautiful life can be. Thank you Aurora, always and forever🫀

The way I just stopped and listened to this song for the first time instead of just letting it play and am now crying my eyes out

my soul really feel THIS

This song is so beautiful... You want to care about someone's "invisible" wounds but you learned that you can't stitch a wound. Because it is invisible, metaphorically. I also wanted to save someone from their emotional scar. It just hurts me to see people being affected by their forbidden past and it breaks my heart. So, if you are seeing this and you are emotional scarred, I want you to know that you are the most beautiful, happiest, loveliest, calmest, person I and everyone has ever seen. ❤️

I will be dancing to this in a flowy dress in my garden this summer 🌷

Her voice, especially towards the end, absolutely breaks me in this...

I’m crying so beautifully right now. I’ve been on my journey for a while now and Wow, is the truth just shinning so bright on me now. I’ve been coming to slowly understand what AURORA has put into Perfect words. I will always be soft now. I do not have to live in fear. I’ve been creating a safe place I can call home. My Home. Healing and loving this beautiful World.

The music seems to be inspired by water droplets rippling on a serene pond. Such a magical song. Wow!

Thank you for bringing the light into our lives, Aurora ☀️
