The Blade Lyrics – AURORA

[Intro] sets the stage for the song, where the singer invites trust but acknowledges her own bloodstained hands. This imagery conveys a sense of past pain and a promise to protect, despite the presence of past violence.

[Verse 1] portrays an image of innocence corrupted by fear and violence. The mention of a child sleeping with a knife under her pillow highlights the loss of safety and the need for constant vigilance. The references to shame and crying scarlet skies suggest deep emotional wounds and unresolved trauma. The ever-changing corridors symbolize the unpredictable and shifting nature of the singer's emotional landscape.

[Chorus] warns about the power of words and the dual nature of truth. The metaphor of a sword cutting both ways reflects the potential for words to cause harm, while the mention of sharp blades underscores the readiness to defend oneself. The recurring declaration of feeling rage emphasizes the intensity of the singer's emotions and the underlying anger.

[Verse 2] delves into the overwhelming pain and darkness experienced by the singer. The imagery of vertigo and being dragged into the shadow conveys a sense of disorientation and helplessness. The choking sensation when the singer cries reflects the suffocating nature of emotional pain, while the mention of holding her near signifies a desire to protect and comfort.

[Bridge] emphasizes the need for protection for those with soft hearts. The repetition of this line underscores the vulnerability of sensitive individuals and the necessity of safeguarding their emotional well-being. The call to feel the rage further highlights the intensity of emotions and the need to acknowledge and express them.

[Outro] reiterates the theme of protection for soft hearts, bringing the song to a poignant conclusion. The repetition of this line serves as a reminder of the constant need for emotional safety and the ongoing struggle to balance vulnerability and self-defense.
