Of the song, Aurora says: “It’s about us. About the people we’ve lost through time, and how we handle that loss. The guilt of still being alive when they are not, and the hope that they might only be sleeping, maybe still dreaming, under the stars.“
[Verse 1]
Mad world beats, outside our hearts
Times of need, we are apart
Under stars, we are alone
[Chorus]
Under stars
[Verse 2]
Knuckles move, under his skin
He wraps his heart, and drags them in
And they move it all around
Until we cry
[Chorus]
Under stars
Under stars
[Verse 3]
Mother cries and turns around
Walks outside without a sound
The rain against her skin
While she faces every sin
[Chorus]
Under stars
Under stars
[Bridge]
They have only fallen asleep
They have only fallen asleep
They have only fallen asleep
They have only fallen asleep
They have only fallen asleep
They have only fallen asleep (They have only fallen asleep)
[Outro]
I've seen it many times
Each time they close their eyes, say goodbye
Rest in peace and give yourself to harmony
I've seen it many times
Each time they close their eyes, say goodbye
Rest in peace and give yourself to harmony
Give yourself to harmony, underneath the stars
