- Award Snub: Despite releasing five highly acclaimed albums and having one of the most powerful voices of 21st century, she hasn't received any Grammy nominations yet.
- Awesome Music:
- All My Demons Greeting Me As Their Friend: "Runaway" and "Running With The Wolves", which soon became her signature songs.
- Infections Of A Different Kind (Step 1): The Title Track is a powerful, yet sad piece of awesome music.
- A Different Kind Of Human (Step 2): "The Seed", thanks to being a haunting and strong ecological ballad. Her performance of the song at Royal Albert Hall is considered one of the best concerts in her career and one of her signature moments.
- The Gods We Can Touch: "Cure For Me", made in an unusual style for her, quickly became her very own LGBT anthem.
- "The Devil Is Human", in which she accuses God of hating and shaming an entire human race out of envy. It's also a criticism of misogyny in general, which slut-shames women for their sexuality.
- Her cover of "Life on Mars?", originally by David Bowie, garnered her critical acclaim.
- Call-Back: The line "Maybe there was never a demon, maybe it was just me dreaming" from "The Flood" could be a reference to All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend, which notably has many melancholic songs on it about escapism and detachment.
- Even Better Sequel: All My Demons Greeting Me As Their Friend was already well-received and spawned two hit singles, but all of her subsequent albums are critically acclaimed, especially The Gods We Can Touch.
- LGBT Fanbase: A huge one. Aurora's charisma, style and bisexuality attracted many young queer people to her music. It only went deeper after she released "Cure For Me", which criticizes conversion therapy.
- Sequel Song: "The Flood" could be considered this to "The River". "The River" was written about the emotions that we as humans feel, and how society encourages this idea of bottling them up and concealing them, the aforementioned "river" being the tears we shed. "The Flood" addresses the internal struggles we and society put on ourselves, thus commenting how we suffocate under such pressures. In this song, the "flood" either represents the source of the "river", or it represents the culmination.
- Signature Song: "Runaway", "Running With The Wolves", "The Seed", "Cure For Me" and "Everything Matters".
- Tear Jerker:
- In "Through The Eyes Of The Child" Aurora expresses regret over losing her childhood innocence, fully seeing the horrible state of the world and wishing to go back to her younger years, when everyone was simple. Even so more now that is assiocated with the end of
Adolescence
. - "Under Stars" is a song full of yearning for someone who is no longer here. But the title comes from the hopeful (if depressing) truth that one day, we'll all be reunited with those we've lost, sleeping under the stars together.
- "The Weight of Missing" is about a person grieving the loss of someone close in their life, and how the sorrow, while painful, proves the feeling she had for thay person.
"The world today has changed
You're no longer here and I feel strange
Now every moment spent with you
And the love within my heart feels like a wound
And though it hurts, it feels good too
In the warmth of every memory I have of you
While I live on
And though love comes with pain
I never love in vain" - In "Through The Eyes Of The Child" Aurora expresses regret over losing her childhood innocence, fully seeing the horrible state of the world and wishing to go back to her younger years, when everyone was simple. Even so more now that is assiocated with the end of
