Norwegian pop artist AURORA’s lyrics are often rooted in a fascination for nature, which gets more literal on ‘The Seed’. The single is a message to human kind about the way we treat our earth.
Lyrical rundown
Just like the seed
I don't know where to go
Through dirt and shadow I grow
I'm reaching light through the struggle
It starts slow, steady, and memorizing. Everyone needs to find a path in life and get through problems, like a seed growing in the ground and reaching for light.
Just like the seed
I'm chasing the wonder
I unravel myself
All in slow motion
We don’t become who we are overnight, we show our true colors and grow slowly over time, like a seed.
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money oh, no
A melody and beat that gives you an urge to sway to the music. It gives a good reminder that if we destroy nature to become rich, we cannot eat money. The trees, the rivers, and nature are special and we need to take care of them.
Suffocate me
So my tears can be rain
I will water the ground where I stand
So the flowers can grow back again
She wants to use her sadness to be a fuel to her help the Earth and nature.
Cause just like the seed
Everything wants to live
We are burning our fingers
But we learn and forget
Everything strives to live, sometimes it evokes an animal hostility when we’re running low on oxygen or food.
Feed me sunlight, feed me air
Feed me truth and feed me prayer
Feed me sunlight, feed me air
Feed me truth and feed me prayers
Her voice is so unusually deep in the bridge, in a way it sounds haunting and vibrates in you. A seed needs sunlight and air, but truth is also an important thing and what we need.
