"The Innocent" is a song by AURORA from her album, The Gods We Can Touch.
Background[]
Aurora explained the track to Apple Music:
"It's the wildest song on the album, I think. I imagine all these people dancing naked around a fireplace. That's very innocent. Our bodies are very pure, beautiful things and it's a shame that we've managed to make it something not pure. It's the sexualisation of innocent things that makes the world dangerous."[1][2]
Lyrics[]
I have been a dancer, but without her feet
I've been a lion, but without its teeth
In the moonlight I will lie awake
Drinking lava from the lake
You give your all and in return
You get a spark and you watch it burn
For love
The innocent life
The innocent touch is never enough
For the ones who love
The ones who love
The ones who love
Danger in the boy that would lose control
When everyone thought he had a heart of gold
I remember how we used to play
He'd let me win if I let him stay
He left without a single trace
I don't know why he said goodbye
To love
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
The innocent life
The innocent touch is never enough
For the ones who love
The ones who love
The ones who love
The innocent life
The innocent touch is never enough
For the ones who love
The ones who love
The ones who love
I lay you down in the cold of the water
Watching you drown for the sake of the torture
Now you are gone, I feel that I'm closer
(You would never let me into your heart)
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
You would never let me into your heart
The innocent love
The innocent touch is never enough
For the ones who love
The ones who love
The ones who love
