Aurora is a song by Brockhampton member Dom McLennon musing on his past, present, and future accompanied by a floating instrumental.
[Intro]
Alright, let's see how this works
I think it should be good
1, 2, 1, 2, 3
[Verse 1]
Didn't you know
I'm falling apart
I fell into you
You fell in love with my heart
I'm still in love with my dreams
Not sure 'bout my future
Not sure if you care
But see I don't wanna use you
Sometimes I feel like a loser
Even when I've been winning
Wish I already finished
Or could redo the beginning
If I knew what I do
Shit
Probs still wouldn't've changed much
Probs still would've lost you
Probs still wouldn't've saved up
The story of my life:
Living, learning, loving, losing
Giving what I got
Not taking shots from fear of judgement looming
Tell me, do you see our ending on the horizon
Can we run from the sun and make extra space to be private
It's awful timing
4 in the morning
I turn my phone off and the devil still be calling
Now I'm falling
So I'm balling away
Gotta get outta my head
If this feeling's forever
Just fill my body with lead
[Hook]
I'm better off being a memory
Tell me though would you remember me?
They say you never know exactly what you got until it's gone
And I don't got the space for what you wanna bring along
So, please forgive me
I hope that you don't miss me
I tell the struggle it existed
But I know there's something better for me
And you don't gotta wait forever if I'm stressing to breathe
I'll catch up
I'll be good
I might be misunderstood
On my way to getting better
Since I'm doing what I should
So I got you
You know that I got you
[Bridge:x2]
Hanging on the edge
Tryna get a grip
Cross my heart and pledge
I won't let you slip
I don't mind the pain
I've been used to it
I tend to use it
So I could manoeuvre it
But I ain't motivated like I was
Tryna find it in the world I see
Leading me to colder days and darker nights
But I learned that works for me
[Verse 2]
I'm so high and so low
Hold up
I sip the 5
Too much emotion as I roll up
And I sacrifice, I sacrifice
All of my clarity
Fishing for similarities
Aiming at singularity
Give me what I can feel
Lately, that's all I want
Shit been getting surreal
And me demons still undertow
So I'm on it like Constantine
Not looking for finer things
You looking to be somebody
But something got in the mean
[Hook]
Better off being a memory
Tell me though would you remember me?
They say you never know exactly what you got until it's gone
And I don't got the space for what you wanna bring along
So, please forgive me
I hope that you don't miss me
I tell the struggle it existed
But I know there's something better for me
And you don't gotta wait forever if I'm stressing to breathe
I'll catch up
I'll be good
I might be misunderstood
On my way to getting better
Since I'm doing what I should
So I got you
You know that I got you
