about

It can be really hard if someone you care about is struggling with the effects of trauma. “Aloe To Your Vera” is about how Amalie Bryde wants to listen and be there for them. It effects her seeing how they hurt themselves by not being vulnerable and letting go. She wants them to know she is there for them but that the change has to come within themselves. “I cannot heal you, only self-compassion can, I’ll help with the direction”. The metaphor is drawn to the Aloe Vera which stands for beauty, healing and protection and that’s what Amalie’s trying to give and let them feel.

lyrics

You don’t feel like talking
This wound is no accident
Causing an infection (an infection)
You keep picking the scalp
You wanna see it bleed
You dont have any patience

When you’re alone it itches
It turns deep and needing stitches

I’ll be the aloe to your vera
Love
Let me soothe the pain
I’ll be the aloe to your vera
And kiss when it hurts

Trust me to gently
Scoop out your suffering
Causing this protection
I cannot heal you
Only self-compassion can
I’ll help with the direction (I’ll help with the direction)

Please let me in to fix it (Fix it)
You cannot
You cannot
You cannot
You cannot keep it in (Ah)

I’ll be the aloe to your vera (To your vera)
Love (Love)
Let me soothe the pain
I’ll be the aloe to your vera (Aloe to your vera)
And kiss when it hurts (Kiss when it hurts)

I’ll be the aloe to your vera
(Aloe to your vera)
(Aloe to your vera)
Love
Let me soothe the pain (Let me soothe the pain)
I’ll be the aloe to your vera
And kiss when it hurts
Hurts

(Pain)
(Yeah)
And kiss when it hurts
