[@AURORAstuff]

I was wondering how soon we'll get to hear this song live.. and now it's already here! very magical indeed im ascending

[@APAMVs]

@@halftheseedaway2489 it's not her I don't think. The title of the videos make it seem like it's a fan. Don't know how the channel is verified

[@AURORAstuff]

@@APAMVs this is a fan channel yes and KZbin verifies fan channels with +100k as long as it's not impersonating. there are plenty of verified fan channels out there (other than Aurora ones) so it's a common thing. and i guess I wasn't misleading here, i refer to Aurora in third person. i hope this explains it :) ♡

It hits different with the female dancers around her: "Stealing from the trees of Eden... Everything we touch is evil" and "We cry for those who burned beneath the flame." Womankind who were not passive to men seen as sinners/evil/witches. She invokes the divine feminine in this beautiful song.

[@emiknapheide1817]

Wow thank you for that view. It makes so much sense to look at this in this way. I didn't understand the line with "Everything we touch is evil". This dance of women seems like metabolizing trauma and regaining your power and knowing what you deserve.

[@Earthneedsado-over177]

Very well said and timely with the attacks on women's rights going on in the United States.

[@berahn9814]

Yes, I love the addition of the female dancers to add to the story. Aurora has mentioned that this album was influenced by the Greek myths and their gods/goddesses. Give in to the Love was inspired by Prometheus. I wonder if this song is about Athena breathing life into the clay that became humans? Or it could be Pandora, the first woman, who cursed mankind with all the evils of the world when she sought knowledge and freedom. I just love all the imagery in these lyrics and the divine feminine being invoked. Like you said...absolutely beautiful!

[@Eden._.garden]

I originally thought it was talking about humans in general and how the gods we worship aren't really as kind and punishes innocents too for the sins of some like in the stories of Noah's ark, and Sodom and Gomorrah from the Bible

[@Astraeus063]

And at the same time it feels like "she" is the Earth, in the sense of Mother Earth. Maybe this song could also be inspired by the goddess Gaia

[@Rm-tg8jh]

There is no word to describe how this fairy of the woods, this embodying of Mother Nature herself fascinates me, all the time. I haven't heard anyone doing such an amazing job with hypnotizing, enticing the ears. She lives through music and movement and it's one of the most beautiful experiences I get to have. Even if this world is a blooming chaos, I am truly, deeply happy to live in the same time as Aurora.

[@gabrielluis3344]

Her music is breathtaking, ethereal, poignant, and it makes me absolutely speechless. The way you put it I couldn't have said better myself. I'm usually fairly confident when it comes to turning a phrase, but I've got no words to describe how profoundly Aurora touches me, none whatsoever.

[@candelaagostini9098]

Lyrics: She bargains with the world So everything she wants will come to her With no greed inside her mind, She knows what she deserves We fell from sky with grace And landed in her soft and warm embrace She gave her love, her gift of life So we could live with her That is why we live like heathens Stealing from the trees of Eden Living in the arms of freedom And everything we touch is evil That is why we live like heathens The stone, the dirt, the dust, The unforgiving promise made to us Unworthy of your light, your god, your touch We’re guided by the lust We cry the fallen names We cry for those who burned beneath the flame We stand beside the good and brave, The broken and enslaved That is why we live like heathens Stealing from the trees of Eden Living in the arms of freedom And everything we touch is evil That is why we live like heathens Everything you touch Will be ours A mother with no heart Will give love Her love is yours But only if you Give your heart to Her That is why we live like heathens Stealing from the trees of Eden Living in the arms of freedom And everything we touch is evil That is why we live like heathens That is why we live like heathens That is why we live like heathens

[@Malaima]

This is such a good song about Mother Earth. What Lyrics...

[@BiaRosy]

Thank youuu

[@nav579]

I love this song. Part of it does sound like she’s talking about the earth. But other parts…I do not understand. I know this is a stupid question, but. What is this song about? Particularly the first paragraph, and anything but the second and third paragraph - cause that I get.

[@avastepanian567]

@@nav579 i believe it's about embracing the side of you that the world, especially the Christian patriarchy, demonizes you for. Christianity usually blames women for the existence of sin and evil in the world bc the first woman committed the first sin, and this song is about how maybe that action isn't wrong after all, and maybe it's not even sinful to live in contrast against Cristian morals.

Speaking about "Heathens", AURORA said, "A long, long time ago, Eve took a bite of a forbidden apple hanging from the tree of evil and good. In her act of doing so, she granted humans free will; I just think that is very beautiful, and I wanted to honour her and women like her, who little by little granted us freedom in this world. A freedom to live as we please, to explore and taste. I think life should be lived in all of its colours, and that is why we live like heathens." - AURORA

[@Boudicaisback]

We believe the ways of our ancestors are a sacred gift to be treasured and heeded. Heathens do not live in the past but we do honor the past. We know that the culture of our people have the highest achievement in human history. We believe the spirits of our gods live within our people. The gods are the companions of our people and although we lost them for a time they have never left us. They are the soul of our people and we have found them again. We believe that we are born from our mother earth and must live in harmony with the laws of the natural world

[@auroramaia357]

To be honest, the history of Prophet Adam A.S. has the same story. Prophet Adam was the first human being and Hawa is the name of his Wife, who eat the fruit from that forbidden tree.
