"Soulless Creatures" is the sixth track on the album A Different Kind of Human - Step 2.[1] It was written and produced by AURORA, Tim Bran, and Roy Kerr.

About the song[]

In an interview with Clash magazine, Aurora said the song is her favorite track on the album, adding:

"It means a lot to me and it's written about giving too much. It's Mother Earth writing to humankind about wanting to thrive again. Sometimes I don't understand what a song means for a while. It sounds pretentious and stupid but it does happen. I just write and write all the time. I have songs already for my fifth album."[2]

Lyrics[]

Never knew,
This curious head of mine
Never knew,
What is love if kept inside*
Nothing but an endless empty heart
Like laying a seed within the dark

Give me a piece of your heart,
Of your heart
Give me a piece of your hands as we go*

I wouldn't mind
If I can't find,
I can't find
Anything to save our kind
All the pieces of my body is gone
Look at me now,*
Don't tell me how I feel inside
Every pieces that I have lost I have loved

Come my wanderers, after dawn restores*
Waiting for the world to turn once more
Listening to the deep magnetic sound*
Hunting for a victim lying down

Come back to me after peace restores
Soulless creatures

Fearsome hearts
I wouldn't lie*
I got memories,
That travels my mind
Fear not, fear not,
When you go
I got pieces of your hate in my soul
Look at me now!!
I'm falling apart in daylight
All the pieces that I have lost I have loved

Hey ya, hey ya,*
Oh-o hey ya*
Hey ya, hey ya,*
Oh-o hey ya*
Hey ya, hey ya,*
Oh-o hey ya*

Haaaa-aaaaaa

Hey ya,*
Oh-o hey ya, hey ya*
Oh-o hey ya, hey ya*
Hey ya, oh*

I wouldn't mind,
If I can't find,
I can't find
Anything to save our kind
All the pieces of my body is gone
Look at me now*
I'm falling apart in daylight
All the pieces that I have lost,
I have loved

Look at me now

I gave both sides of me
I give both sides of me
I give both sides of me

Never knew,
This curious head of mine
Never knew,
What is love if left inside
Nothing but an endless empty heart
Like laying a seed within the dark

Give me a piece of your heart,
Of your heart
Give me a piece of your hand as we go

I wouldn't mind,
If I can't find,
I can't find
Anything to save our kind
All the pieces of my body is gone
Look at me know,
Don't tell me how I feel inside
Every piece that I have lost I have loved

Calm, my wanders after dawn restores
Waiting for the world to turn once more
Listening to the deep magnetic sounds
Hunting for a victim lying down

Come back to me after peace restores
Soulless creatures

Fearsome hearts,
I wouldn't mind
I got memories,
That travels my mind
Fear not, fear not,
When you go
I got pieces of your hate in my soul
Look at me now!!
I'm falling apart in daylight
All the pieces that I have lost I have loved

Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya

Haaaa-aaaaaa

Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya

I wouldn't mind,
If I can't find,
I can't find.
Anything to save our kind
All the pieces of my body is gone
Look at me know
I'm falling apart in daylight
All the pieces I have lost,
I have loved

Look at me now

I gave both sides of me
I give both sides of me
I give both sides of me
