The Conflict of the Mind Lyrics By AURORA

[Intro]
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da

[Verse 1]
It's a complicated story
That we never talk about
But I see it in the mirrors
In the curtains of our house
I don't want you to be worried
That we're running out of time
It doesn't matter where we're going
We can leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Only when I see you cry
I feel conflicted in my mind
It fills my heart up and it breaks me at the very same time
When you open up the gates for me
And leave the world behind
We find proof of love is hidden
In the conflict of the mind

[Verse 2]
I remember how I'd find you
Fingers tearing through the ground
Were you digging something up
Or did you bury something down?
In your soul, I found a thirst
With only salt inside your cup
In your eyes, I saw a longing
While I longed to lift you up

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da

[Bridge]
Don't let your spirit die
This is just a conflict of the mind (Conflict of the mind)
Is your heart alive? (Is your heart alive?)
You'll overcome a conflict of the mind (Conflict of the mind)
Don't let your spirit die (Love is; let your spirit die)
This is just a conflict of the mind (Love is; conflict of the mind)
Is your heart alive? (Not gone; is your heart alive?)
You'll overcome a conflict of the mind (Conflict of the mind)
Don't let your spirit die (Love is; let your spirit die)
This is just a conflict of the mind (Love is you; conflict of the mind)
Is your heart alive? (Love; is your heart alive?)
You'll overcome a conflict of the mind (Love is you)

[Outro]
Love is you
Love is you
Love is, love, love
Love is you
Love

[Verse 1] reflects on a complicated relationship, capturing the tension between the desire to escape from troubles and the reality of facing them. The imagery of mirrors and curtains suggests a sense of reflection and concealment, indicating that the true nature of their struggles is often hidden or unspoken.

[Chorus] conveys the central conflict of the song, where seeing a loved one cry causes an emotional turmoil that fills and breaks the heart simultaneously. This paradox is described as revealing the hidden essence of love, suggesting that the true nature of love is found in navigating these conflicting emotions.

[Verse 2] revisits past memories of a loved one’s struggles, using imagery of digging and thirst to convey deep emotional pain and longing. The contrast between the physical act of digging and the emotional experience of longing emphasizes the depth of their suffering and the narrator's desire to support and uplift the other person.

[Post-Chorus] provides a musical break that reinforces the emotional weight of the song. The repetitive, soothing da-da patterns offer a contrast to the intense feelings expressed in the verses and chorus, creating a sense of resolution within the ongoing conflict.

[Bridge] serves as a plea for resilience, encouraging the listener to not let their spirit die despite the mental conflict they face. It reinforces the idea that the struggle is a mental one and that love and vitality are worth fighting for, framing the conflict as a temporary challenge rather than an insurmountable obstacle.

[Outro] emphasizes the central message of the song, that love is intrinsic and enduring. By repeating "Love is you," the song underscores the idea that despite conflicts and struggles, love remains a fundamental and unchanging truth.
