Your Blood

## Singles Chronology

"**Your Blood**" is a song by AURORA, it was released worldwide as a single on November 8, 2023.

## About the song

Aurora said of the song in press releases:

> "I think they waited too long. For their life to begin. They healed themselves, and forgot life could be more than just healing. It could be about growing too. It's an indescribable thing, to see your favourite person change. And I guess this song is about the attempt of bringing them back. And sometimes it feels as difficult as trying to fight the wind blowing them away. They turn to dust. But I still believe it's doable. Just never give up."

>

> "The world is always bleeding. And you never know what is going on under people's skin. I think it's only when we reach out to each other, that we understand what compassion and beauty we are capable of as human beings. Even if we can't understand what people are going through: we should still try. If we don't, what is a life truly worth? Sometimes addressing the pain, your own, or the pain of the world hurts so much it feels like dying. But in truth, I believe it is then we are born. Your blood. My blood. Our blood."

## Lyrics

Your blood

What matter is it made of?

Do you feel it travel?

In and out your heart?

Needles

Stitching up the big holes

You prepared for battle

As you fell apart

Are you dust?

You are dust

Dust

Your voice

Drowning in the white noise

Do you hear the echo

Begging you to let go?

(Let go, let go, let go)

This earth

Whoever was it made for?

Just wait until tomorrow

It might not be as cold

(Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold)

When all inside you burns like a star

It's after you burn out

That you are reborn again

Reborn again

And maybe if you called out for help

Then I could help you outrun yourself

Come run again!

We'll run again then

But I, I refuse to die

I refuse to die

But I, I refuse to die

I refuse to die

We are dust

We are dust

When all inside you burns like a star

It's after you burn out

That you are reborn again

Reborn again

And maybe if you called out for help

Then I could help you outrun yourself

Come run again!

Come run again

You are dust

You are dust

You are dust

You are dust

You are dust

You are dust

You are dust

Your blood

What matter is it made of?

Do you feel it travel?

In and out your heart?
