We can always count on Aurora to inspire us to dive into the depths of our soul with her music and her latest song is no exception. Her new single “The Conflict of the Mind” is all about opening up to those who love us and finding beauty in healing.
“The Conflict of the Mind” explores the idea we should talk to our loved ones about our pain before it’s too late because opening up could lead us to a version of ourselves we thought was gone.
“I tend to isolate myself when I’m in pain. And with time, I’ve learned that I’ve deprived the people around me of the great honor of being there for someone you love. Deep in there, beneath all the darkness, there is beauty,” said Aurora in a statement.
The Norwegian singer conveys this idea with the song’s haunting 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.”
“The Conflict of the Mind” was released as Aurora’s first single of the year and the first new music she shared with the world since “Your Blood” in 2023. These songs will most likely be featured on her fourth studio album, the follow-up to her last LP The Gods We Can Touch.
