I used to think this was a love song about being gentle to one another or losing your virginity with someone who genuinely loves you, but then I read exactly what Aurora meant and I was disturbed. I must have misheard some of the lyrics, or maybe it was the sweet accompaniment in the beginning, but it made me feel warm inside because I thought it was about trust and safety. Now that I understand it better, I think that my misconception actually adds to the art of the song, because many times abuse doesn’t look like abuse from the outside. It is hidden beneath deceptive sweetness and seductive lies. Lies that make you want to believe desperately that there’s nothing wrong with a situation. Now I understand, but I also have another interpretation; the process of healing with a new partner who genuinely cares about you and listens to your story. I hear the survivor recounting the traumatic events in the details that their brain hasn’t blocked out. It almost sounds like the male voices are supporting the survivor when Aurora asks, “Are your dreams as dead as they seem?” I hear the survivor being swallowed by their abuser’s voice at the end when the male voices overpower Aurora’s, making her fade away into silence, because many times the survivor remains silent. “Love is wild.” Trying to pretend that abuse is love. I hear the pain now. The eerie harmony feels like a burning tear in raw eyes. This song is a masterpiece.
After years of nightmares, living next to him. Pretending nothing happened. It was like l was somewhere else in my head every time he came over. Years later I met him again. I had nightmares for a long time. I didn't think about it until I wrote this. He's not guiltless, but he didn't tell me to get over it like my Mom did. He broke down crying while I hugged him. I don't dream anymore, I don't think about it anymore. I've forgiven him. I moved on, I don't know if he ever will. He was my friend. I'm meeting someone for the first time in years. I don't know if I'll tell them. I'm alive, some days are better than others. Sometimes numb, sometimes not. To anyone who knows what it's like. Don't forgive, Don't forget. Unless you decide it's time. Dwelling on the past as cliche as it sounds, doesn't help anyone. Especially you. Whoever you are reading this. You matter.
[Verse 1] Eyes blue and hollow As it rains against their will Feathers falling out of a pillow As if time's standing still [Pre-Chorus 1] I can't remember much more But I know it happened quiet So quiet [Chorus 1] Words falling out through the window All that remains is a silent call Is the Earth colored red? As I land like a flower on the meadow Love is wild [Verse 2] You fell apart Like a stone can be broken into sand A thousand pieces Spread across a crying land [Pre-Chorus 2] And you can't remember that day But you know it happened quiet So quiet [Chorus 1] Words falling out through the window All that remains is a silent call Is the Earth colored red? As I land like a flower on the meadow Love is wild [Bridge] Are your dreams as dead as they seem? Are your dreams as dead as they seem? [Chorus 2] Don't you speak over my voice I will return from the shadows And I'll bleed in your bed Turn it red Like the ground outside your window Love is wild [Outro] Love is wild Love is wild Love is wild Love is wild
it mean rape 😳😱, i never knew, i thought it was such a beautiful song, you guys ruined it for me 😭 i literally have tears in my tears, i was getting happy with this song, when this was about rape 🥺😭
Thank you for making this song (slowed) This is probably my favorite one that I’ve heard so far (this specific song slowed) I love it! You should do more of her songs actually! I can actually sing with it in a deeper voice as well, that’s what I love about it too!
hey! i've noticed that this video has been doing well and i just thought i would share my art page if anyone is interested: instagram.com/nymphamulet/ likes and follows are appreciated!

As a victim of sexual abuse, this song holds a very special place in my heart, hearing it like THIS, amplifies the feeling of love I have for it
🫂
*_Are you dreams as dead as they seem?_*
This is absolutely beautiful, especially the vocalising towards the end
The photo of Akihiko & haruki makes me sad ( ,一 n一,)
The almost rape (T-T)
It sounds even sadder than the original :'( I love this song so much.
I wish i could have an instrumental version of this. That's how perfect it is
So obsessed with this song
After years of nightmares, living next to him. Pretending nothing happened. It was like l was somewhere else in my head every time he came over. Years later I met him again.
I had nightmares for a long time. I didn't think about it until I wrote this. He's not guiltless, but he didn't tell me to get over it like my Mom did.
He broke down crying while I hugged him.
I don't dream anymore, I don't think about it anymore. I've forgiven him. I moved on, I don't know if he ever will. He was my friend.
I'm meeting someone for the first time in years. I don't know if I'll tell them. I'm alive, some days are better than others. Sometimes numb, sometimes not.
To anyone who knows what it's like.
Don't forgive, Don't forget. Unless you decide it's time. Dwelling on the past as cliche as it sounds, doesn't help anyone. Especially you. Whoever you are reading this. You matter.
As a survivor (with blue eyes funnily enough), this song is very important to me, so thank you AURORA, and thank you for making this version 💕
i cant stop crying ;-;
why
[Verse 1]
Eyes blue and hollow
As it rains against their will
Feathers falling out of a pillow
As if time's standing still
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can't remember much more
But I know it happened quiet
So quiet
[Chorus 1]
Words falling out through the window
All that remains is a silent call
Is the Earth colored red?
As I land like a flower on the meadow
Love is wild
[Verse 2]
You fell apart
Like a stone can be broken into sand
A thousand pieces
Spread across a crying land
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And you can't remember that day
But you know it happened quiet
So quiet
[Chorus 1]
Words falling out through the window
All that remains is a silent call
Is the Earth colored red?
As I land like a flower on the meadow
Love is wild
[Bridge]
Are your dreams as dead as they seem?
Are your dreams as dead as they seem?
[Chorus 2]
Don't you speak over my voice
I will return from the shadows
And I'll bleed in your bed
Turn it red
Like the ground outside your window
Love is wild
[Outro]
Love is wild
Love is wild
Love is wild
Love is wild
The video image matches the music meaning :-:
I know I'm late but indeed!
What is the music mean then???
@@tubamanar8152 it’s a song about rape/sa
it mean rape 😳😱, i never knew, i thought it was such a beautiful song, you guys ruined it for me 😭 i literally have tears in my tears, i was getting happy with this song, when this was about rape 🥺😭

Yes, same! Her songs normally are too high, but slowed, I'm singing my heart out XD
The first few times i heard this song, instead of “love is wild” i heard “love is war” and i find that so much more beautiful
Listening to this on top of a roof at night looking at the moon, perfection
akihiko y haruki :0
it's even more painful, wow
I feel like I was in medieval era
You right I feel that too! I think it's the instruments that do that.
It's just harp and strings
"Love is wild" 😔💔🪦
Oh my god.....
Versao melhor que a original.
