"Soft Universe" is the seventh track on the album Infections of a Different Kind - Step 1.[1]

Background[]

This song was written and produced with Couros Sheibani, Fiona Bevan and Jakwob during a 2017 songwriting camp in Bergen, Norway and it was played at the internal listening party there.[2] Of the four songs made at the camp, Soft Universe is the only one that was released. The writers set up 11 more days in May/June to write more songs.

About the song[]

In a response to a Q&A question, Aurora said about the song:

"It actually has to do with love... or the fight for love, amongst other things. [...] I was thinking about people fighting for what they believe in, [people] going in protest together to fight for a better world."[3]

Lyrics[]

There's ice in my water
And when I drink, it cuts my tongue
There's glass on the playground
It cuts my skin when I run

And from the dark, into the light
I saw a stone burst into life*
And in the corner of your eye
I saw a dream that never died

Speak to me, speak to me
With love in your words
Make for me, make for me
A soft universe

My body falls off the side of her bed
And now I know what love feels like
Don't let me turn it to pain*
All of this is loveliness

Chaos came, we laid our head
Down on the feather cotton bed
We find a heart and catch a breath*
Let the universe go red

Speak to me, speak to me
With love in your words
Make for me, make for me
A soft universe

Speak to me, speak to me
With, with
Make for me, make for me
A soft universe

Soft universe*
Soft universe*
Soft universe*
Soft universe*
Soft universe*
Soft universe*
Soft universe*
Soft universe*

Soft universe

There's ice in my water
And when I drink, it cuts my tongue
There's glass on the playground
It cuts my skin when I run

And from the dark, into the light
I saw a star burst into life
And in the corner of your eye
I saw a dream that never died

Speak to me, speak to me
With love in your words
Make for me, make for me
A soft universe

My body falls off the side of her bed
And now I know what love feels like
Don't let me turn into pain
All of this is loveliness

Chaos came, we laid our head
Down on the feather cotton bed
You find a heart and catch your breath
Let the universe go red

Speak to me, speak to me
With love in your words
Make for me, make for me
A soft universe

Speak to me, speak to me
With, with
Make for me, make for me
A soft universe
Soft universe
