## Lyrics

I'll draw a map of the world

Of lands unknown and untold

I'll guide my ship towards the morn'

Through the raging waters

The stars are pointing my way

From quarter of the globe away

And yet, I feel so astray

How did I get so lost?

I've always been taught to be brave and strong

To see the hope when all feels wrong

I've always been taught not to be afraid

And look, the price, the price I paid!

I'm barely afloat

My sails are set and I'm coming home

I'm barely afloat

My sails are set and I'm coming home

I'll sail my ship on my own

Straight into the eye of the storm

And when I conquer it all

Will you still be my friend?

I've always been taught to be brave and strong

To see the hope when all feels wrong

I've always been taught not to be afraid

And look, the price, the price I paid!

I'm barely afloat

My sails are set and I'm coming home

I'm barely afloat

My sails are set and I'm coming home

Caught up in a whirlwind, a perfect storm

Reduce my sails and risk it all?

Position's unknown and no sight of land

But I command, full speed ahead!

I've always been taught to be brave and strong

To see the hope when all feels wrong

I've always been taught not to be afraid

And look, the price, the price I paid!

I'm barely afloat

My sails are set and I'm coming home

I'm barely afloat

My sails are set

I'm coming home

The Woman I Am (Acoustic)

"**The Woman I Am (Acoustic)**" is a song by AURORA and the acoustic version of "The Woman I Am". On May 20, 2022, the song was officially released worldwide as a surprise, together with the album mix of the original version.

## Lyrics

I spend a lot of time wondering y there's IOU in you and I

With innocent devotion to the fiction living up in the sky

The woman I am

Is taken back to nothing

The woman I am

Is taken back to nothing

I've found the only woman I need to love (love love love love)

I've found the only woman I need to love (love love love love)

I think my sense of humour might have made things confusing for the heart

Complicated its getting to be happy with the who you are

The woman I am

Is taken back to nothing

I've found the only woman I need to love (love love love love)

The only woman I need to love

The only woman I need to love (love love love love)

The only woman I need to love

The only woman I need to love (love love love)

The only woman I need to love (love love love)

The only woman I need to love (love love love)

To love, to love

The only woman I need to love

Love, love is a verb

Love is a doing word

Fearless on my breath

Gentle impulsion

Shakes me, makes me wilder

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Fearless on my breath

Night, night, after day

Black flowers blossom

Fearless on my breath

Black flowers blossom

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Water is my eye

Most faithful mirror

Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire

Fearless on my breath

## Lyrics

Out there, I am not protected

I am only human, but I'm not a body (I'm gonna be alright)

My heart slips into my fingers

Gives me superpowers

But I'm not a hero (I'm gonna be alright)

But I'm not a hero (I'm gonna be alright)

But I'm not a hero

You can't give up

You can't give up for nothing

Wake up, wake up, wake up and live for something

Are you keeping in touch

Keeping in touch with love?

Wake up, wake up

You can't give up for nothing (can't give up)

One day I will write a vision

To a man that can't read

But I'm not a teacher, teacher (I'm gonna be alright)

My mind turns into a planet

That we all can live on

But I'm not a mother (I'm gonna be alright)

But I'm not a mother (I'm gonna be alright)

But... but I'm not a mother

You can't give up

You can't give up for nothing

Wake up, wake up, wake up and live for something

Are you keeping in touch

Keeping in touch with love?

Wake up, wake up

You can't give up for nothing (can't give up)

You can't give up

You can't give up for nothing

Wake up, wake up, wake up and live for something

Are you keeping in touch

Keeping in touch with love?

Wake up, wake up

You can't give up for nothing

You're the Voice

"**You're the Voice**" is a song originally by John Farnham that AURORA covered for WDR 1LIVE in 2016. You can listen to it here.

## Lyrics

We have the chance to turn the pages over

We can write what we want to write

We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

Hmm, we're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

Oh-oh, can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

This time, we know we all can stand together

With the power to be powerful

Believing that we can make it better

Oh, we're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

Oh-oh, can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Oh, we're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

Oh, can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

We're not gonna live in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

Come Undone

"**Come Undone"** is an unreleased song by AURORA. On November 25, 2021, the full song leaked.

## Lyrics

Each night I sleep, I die

Forgets that I'm alive

I am above the ground (ground)

I'm naked and unbound

So take my eyes

And take my mind

Take my voice and every thought

And take my skin

Take everything

So that you know I come undone

And now you know I come undone

I watch with open eyes

I kiss the falling rain

How come my skin stayed on? (On, on)

I want to peel it off

So take my eyes

And take my mind

Take my voice and every thought

And take my skin

Take everything

So that you know I come undone

So take my eyes

And take my mind

Take my voice and every thought

And take my skin

Take everything

So that you know I come undone

And now you know I come undone

Washed away

By the rain

Nothing remains

I'm gone again

Washed away

By the rain

Nothing remains

I'm gone again

Just take it all

Take everything

I'm yours

So take my eyes

And take my mind

Take my voice and every thought

And take my skin

Take everything

So that you know I come undone

So take my eyes

And take my mind

Take my voice and every thought

And take my skin

Take everything

So that you know I come undone

And now you know I come undone

Washed away (I'm gone again)

By the rain (I'm gone again)

Nothing remains (I'm gone again)

I'm gone again (I'm gone again)

Washed away

By the rain (I'm gone again)

Nothing remains

I'm gone again (I'm gone again)

Rasputin

"**Rasputin**" is a song originally by Boney M. that AURORA covered for NRK P3 in 2021.

## Lyrics

There lived a man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a seeming glow

Most people looked with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear, hmm

He could preach the Bible like a preacher

Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire, hmm

Ra Ra Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

Ra Ra Rasputin

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

"This man's just got to go", declared his enemies

But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"

No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms

Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms, hmm

For the queen he was no wheeler dealer

Though she'd heard the things he'd done

She believed he was a holy healer

Who would heal her son

Ra Ra Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

Ra Ra Rasputin

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

Lada labadabada padapapapa (Hey!)

Pa dada dada dadadada (Uh!)

Lada labadabada dadapapapa (Hey!)

La dada dada dadadada

Ra Ra Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

Ra Ra Rasputin

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

Ra Ra Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queen

It was a shame how he carried on

The song is a remixed version of "In Bottles", a song released later on *A Different Kind of Human - Step 2*.

## Lyrics

I put my tears in bottles

In case if I need them later

You never know

You never know

You never know

You never know

And if I get thirsty

Will they make me sad,

Forever? Forever?

Oh, cover your eyes

Oh, cover your eyes,

Cover your eyes

Hide me inside,

Under your spine,

Under your spine

I will kindly watch you sleep

I find out that your eyes are open

I hide all the pieces that you never would've liked if you knew about them

So I hide my children

Oh, cover your eyes

Oh, cover your eyes,

Cover your eyes

Hide me inside,

Under your spine,

Under your spine

Oh, cover your eyes,

Cover your eyes

Hide me inside,

Under your spine,

Under your spine

Under and down your spine, down your spine, down your spine, down your spine

Down your spine, down your spine, down your spine, down your spine

Big Blue

"**Big Blue**" is an unreleased song by AURORA. Not a lot is known about the song other than the fact that it was registered on various song repertoires.

The full song was leaked on August 23, 2022.

## Lyrics

High up in the clouds I'm always turning

Drowning in the sunshine, never burning

And I'm feeling fine

I feel alive

High up in the clouds I'm always turning

Hunting for the sunshine, almost burning

And I'm feeling fine

I feel alive

Everywhere I go, I hear you calling

Every time I sleep, I keep on falling

Deep inside

Your big blue eyes

Floating beyond the silence and I wonder

How long it takes for you to pull me under

Deep into

Your big, big blue, eyes

High up in the clouds I'm always turning

Drowning in the sunshine, never burning

And I'm feeling fine

I feel alive

High up in the clouds I'm always turning

Hunting for the sunshine, almost burning

And I'm feeling fine

I feel alive

Beautifully and slowly I surrender

Into the open sea that I remember

Deep inside

Your big blue eyes

Sinking into this moment of redemption

Losing myself with only one intention

Deep into

Your big, big blue, eyes

High up in the clouds I'm always turning

Drowning in the sunshine, never burning

And I'm feeling fine

I feel alive

High up in the clouds I'm always turning

Hunting for the sunshine, almost burning

And I'm feeling fine

I feel alive

Step 3

***Step 3*** is an album by AURORA, she has mentioned this working title in a couple of interviews. It would supposedly be a continuation of *Infections of a Different Kind - Step 1* and *A Different Kind of Human - Step 2*.

It is not clear if the project is still in development, on hold, or permanently shelved.

## Background

Shortly after *Step 2* released in June 2019, in an interview published by *Dagsavisen*, Aurora said she had started work on a new record, but noted it was not *Step 3*: "No, not actually. It's coming, but I haven't even told Geir that yet. I cannot write *Step 3* until there is a reaction."

During an interview with *Fast Forward Magazine* on November 2, 2019, Aurora said having three albums in her mind at the time and that she had started to work on one of them.

In an interview with *AURORA France* in 2021 (by then deep into the progress for *The Gods We Can Touch*), Aurora said:

>  If [The Gods We Can Touch] is my third or fourth album. I dunno cause I've been calling it my fourth, but Chapter 3. [...] So, I guess we call it album 3 cause it's like the third chapter of my career. So if I'm gonna make only eight albums, I have five albums left [...] And even if I make *Step 3*, which I have already, somewhere hidden. If I want to release it ever then that will also belong to Chapter 3. So it will not count as one of the eight chapters of my life.
>
>

In August 2021, Aurora said in an interview with *HATC*: "I have a step three, it's just not its time yet."

## Possible songs

* "Human Nature"
* "Life of Its Own"
* "Melancholia"
* "Red Moon"
* "Revolution"

Smalltown Boy

"**Smalltown Boy**" is a song originally by Bronski Beat that AURORA covered on 2/24/2022 at AURORA x QUEER SOUNDS.

## Lyrics

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case

Alone in the platform, the wind, the rain on the sad and lonely face

Mother will never understand why you had to leave

But the answers you seek will never be found at home

And the love that you crave will never be found at home

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, turn away

Cry boy, cry

Cry for your soul and cry for heart

Cry boy, cry

Cry for your soul and cry for heart

Cry boy, cry

Cry boy, cry

Run away, run away, turn away, run away, turn away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

## Background

Label head Jeremy Lascelles noted in a promotional text of the tribute album:

> "Cally (ed: estate manager) and I set out on this venture with one simple brief - to ask the artists to ignore the original recording of Nick's in terms of arrangement, production and singing style; basically, we were asking them to reinvent the song. First of all, it was humbling to hear so many similar responses, saying how important Nick's music was to them, and how much they wanted to be part of this project."

## Lyrics

I saw it written, I saw it say

Pink moon is on its way

And none of you stand so tall

Pink moon is gonna get you all

It's a pink moon

Pink moon is on its way

And none of you stand so tall

Pink moon's gonna get you all

It's a pink moon

Pink moon's gonna get you all (pink moon)

It's a pink moon

Pink moon's gonna get you all (pink moon)

It's a pink moon

Milon Akrenios

Milon II. Akrenios (Milon der Erste war mal ein König Akreniens) war einer der zwei Söhne von Ayetavus, und eigentlicher rechtlicher Nachfolger des Kaisers.

## Geschichte

Milon wurde in der Bergfeste geboren. Er durfte diese, da er Kronprinz war, verlassen, jedoch tat er es nur selten, aus Solidarität zu seinem jüngeren Bruder Iliyaz, der die Bergfeste nicht verlassen durfte. Milon war erster Kronprinz in der Geschichte des Aschelandes, welcher eine normale Schule besuchte, wo er durch seine Klugheit und seinem Können bekannt wurde. Er bereitete sich auf sein kaiserliches Amt vor und übte schon in früher Kindheit Reden. Er plante auch, mit seiner Kindheitsfreundin gemeinsam zu regieren, jedoch wurde der Plan zunichte gemacht, da sie sich für Milon opferte, als die beiden von einem Kriminellen angegriffen wurde. Dieser Moment schockte Milon zutiefst, und veränderte ihn. Milon ging daraufhin öfter auf die Jagd und auf das Training, wo er Iliyaz in Duellen fast immer überlegen war, außer im Zielen mit der Pistole. Als der Skandal über Iliyaz's geheimes Zimmerbordell der ganzen Familie bekannt wurde, begann Milon, Iliyaz zu verabscheuen, vergab ihn jedoch einige Monate später. Milon ließ sich ein Schwert namens 'Blutklinge' anfertigen, konnte es jedoch nicht testen, da er während eines Auftrages gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder entführt wurde. Iliyaz tötete Milon, um nicht wie ein Gefangener behandelt zu werden.

## Persönlichkeit und Fähigkeiten

Milon war sehr ehrlich, gerecht, loyal und extrem ehrgeizig. Er war zurückhaltend, und wollte schon in seiner frühen Kindheit Vorbereitungen für sein Kaiseramt treffen. Er verliebte sich eines Tages in ein Mädchen, welches seine Freundin wurde, und hatte große Pläne mit ihr, die alle während eines Spaziergangs kaputt gingen, als ein Mörder seine Freundin, welche sich für ihn opferte, tötete. Milon wurde daraufhin rachsüchtig und es kam eine depressive Phase, welche jedoch später endete, als er von seinem Vater an seine Kaiserpflicht erinnert wurde.

Milon war ein begabter Kämpfer, sehr intelligent und er konnte auch sehr gute Reden schwingen. Er war auch ein guter Stratege. Milons bevorzugte Waffe waren Schwerter, jedoch trug er auch zwei Pistolen mit sich, als Sicherheitsausrüstung.

## Aussehen

Milon war groß gebaut, schlank, hatte schwarze Haare, grüne Augen, jedoch keinen Bart. Er trug immer graue oder schwarze Kleidung, und auch oft einen schwarzen Umhang mit Kapuze, welcher stark dem Umhang von Aktus und Kurashiro III. glich, weshalb er oft 'Der dunkle Prinz' genannt wurde.

>
>

> "It feels very good to be believed. I'm glad I got the chance and now I'm going to take it. As soon as I met Glassnote, Decca and Petroleum, I felt that these were the people I wanted to work with.

The Secret Garden

* Single
* Soundtrack

## Singles Chronology

"**The Secret Garden**" is a song by AURORA that appears at the end credits of the 2020 British fantasy drama film *The Secret Garden*. It was officially released worldwide as a single on September 3, 2020, and is included on the film's soundtrack album.

## Background

This song might be based on, or even identical to "The Strange Paper Garden", a song written by Aurora which she described in 2016:

> "I have a song called "The Strange Paper Garden" which is about a garden. That I was walking, like, in my dreams and I found a garden that was made of only flowers made of paper. And they were all white, which is quite boring. And so my mission is to paint all those flowers. It's about how much you can affect your surroundings if you paint a bit of color."
>
>

## About the song

On the day of its release, she told *NME*:

> "I actually wrote it quite a long time ago, I was quite a little bean back then, I just always felt like this song had quite an imaginative soul. I was a very imaginative child and wrote this song after reading the book The Secret Garden for the first time. When they asked me to make a song for the movie remake, I was so happy and tried to pitch them this old song. It was so meant to be. It was always about finding this magical place in this garden, which can also symbolise shelter. The world can be quite harsh and difficult, especially nowadays. It can feel darker than it is. It's about this magical garden where you’re allowed to grow and nothing is trying to prevent you from just existing and breathing and being healthy."

## Lyrics

Where have you been hiding?

You seem lost within your body and your mind

A beam of light can still remind you who you are

Wounded by the world

Your fragile nature needed shelter

In the night we made a sanctum

Out of mind and out of sight

Won't you let me take you there?

Won't you let me take you there?

Let me take you into the garden, into the garden

I'll be there, painting the flowers, give them colour

I'll be there

Listen to the anthem

Hear the flowers like their hymn has healing power

Take my hand and breathe in, the colourful

Won't you let me take you there?

Won't you let me take you there?

Let me take you into the garden, into the garden

I'll be there, painting the flowers, give them colour

I'll be there

Let me take you into the garden, into the garden

I'll be there, painting the flowers, give them colour

I'll be there

Try to heal the heart of mine

In the garden we find

Try to heal the heart of mine

In the garden we find

Inside, inside

La La La

"**La La La**" is a song originally by Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith that AURORA covered in three live sessions, for NRK P3 in 2015 and 2020 and for Radio Hamburg in 2016.

## Lyrics

Hush, don't speak

When you spit your venom, keep it shut

I hate it when you hiss and preach

About the new messiah cause your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining

I don't mean to judge

But when you hiss your speech, it's tiring

Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid

When your words mean nothing

I go la la la la

I'm turning up the volume when you speak

Cause when my heart can't stop it

I find a way to block it, I go

La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

If our love is running out of time

I won't count the hours, rather be a coward

When our words collide

I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind

Oh, I can't find your silver lining

I don't mean to judge

But when you hiss your speech, it's tiring

Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid

Cause when your words mean nothing

I go la la la la

I'm turning up the volume when you speak

Cause when my heart can't stop it

I find a way to block it, I go

La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

I'm covering my ears, I'm

I'm covering my ears

I'm covering my ears like a kid

I'm covering my ears

Lyrics transcribed by listening the *Radio Hamburg* session recording.

## Lyrics

Before I leave, just let me see

That everyone knows I'm gone

And in between the broken trees

I will believe I am found

And I go home again, it's time

And I go home again, it's time (when)

To go home again, it's time

To go home again, I'm going home again

I know I can, that's why I do it

And who I am, I feel it fading

It's getting colder, getting colder

Counting to ten, again and again

Tell my family and friends

It is okay when I'm gone

And from a cloud not too far away

I will be safe looking down

And I go home again, it's time

And I go home again, it's time (when)

To go home again, it's time

To go home again, I'm going home again

I know I can, that's why I do it

And who I am, I feel it fading

It's getting colder, getting colder

Counting to ten, again and again

I know I can, that's why I do it

And who I am, I feel it fading

It's getting colder, getting colder

Counting to ten, again and again

I know I can, that's why I do it

And who I am, I feel it fading

It's getting colder, getting colder

Counting to ten, again and again

I know I can, that's why I do it

And who I am, I feel it fading

It's getting colder, getting colder

Counting to ten, again and again

I know I can, that's why I do it

And who I am, I feel it fading

It's getting colder, getting colder

Counting to ten, again and again

## Lyrics

* Final
* Demo

None of us predicted

That this would ever happen

Every drop of rain became a tear

I heard it in the morning

But I couldn't stop the growing

As the wind was crying in my ear

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

Didn't know it could bring this to me, yeah

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

Didn't know it could bring this to me, yeah

Everyone said this would be hard

Deserted by the devils and gods

Angels, won't you carry me home

Don't go leaving me on my own

Give me all your power

Show me what I need to see

Be my storm or forever be quiet

Or forever be wild

Open up my anger

So that I can set it free

Make me strong and I'll never get tired

No, I'll never get tired

It took me from a happy place

Rocked me like a baby

The only thing it wanted was to love

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

Didn't know it could take this from me, yeah

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

Didn't know it could take this from me, yeah

Angels, won't you carry me home

Don't go leaving me on my own

Give me all your power

Show me what I need to see

Be my storm or forever be quiet

Or forever be wild

Open up my anger

So that I can set it free

Make me strong and I'll never get tired

No, I'll never get tired

Don't leave me on my own

Without a soul to touch

You don't wanna come to close

Carried by the storm

Poison in my voice

You don't wanna come to close

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

None of us predicted

That this would ever happen

Every drop of rain became a tear

I heard it in the morning

But I couldn't stop the growing

As the wind was crying in my ear

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

Didn't know it could bring this to me, yeah

Look what the storm washed in

I knew it was coming

Didn't know it could bring this to me, yeah

Give me all your power

Show me what I need to see

Be my storm or forever be quiet

Or forever be wild

Open up my anger

So that I can set it free

Make me strong and I'll never get tired

No, I'll never get tired

Bango

"**Bango**" is a song by The Chemical Brothers on their ninth studio album, *No Geography*. AURORA is featured on vocals and is credited as co-writer, it is one of several songs they worked on together.

## About the song

The English electronic duo said to Apple Music:

> "Aurora's response to playing her bits of music was so unexpected, brilliant, and inspiring. [For 'Bango'] I'd play her something and she'd come back and with angular words and ideas about unbalanced relationship dynamics and gods bringing thunder upon you. That's the excitement of collaborating with someone—arriving at something that neither of you could have thought of on your own."

## Lyrics

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

I'm falling fast in, in your eyes

I feel, I, I feel, that I might save you, save you

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

We are an unbalanced couple

I am strong and you are weak

You are quiet while I speak

And I am tired of talking to myself

You are quiet while I speak

I won't back down, give me my thunder

I won't back down, give me my thunder

I won't back down, give me my thunder

I won't back down, give me my thunder

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my

Bango, bango, bango, bango, bang my
