I love that this song has different layers of meaning and everyone can find a different piece of the same thing. To me this song is about our physical life, our planet, everything that we can touch or feel, everything here is so temporary, life of forms, destined to dissolve and disappear one day. And that is beautiful, because there is a part in us, in everyone and everything that is eternal. Watching it all change and dance, be born and die, feeling the temporary high of life.

OMG! I just got an email from the uni program I applied to and I shuffled aurora's album and this song came on and I opened my acceptance letter to this song! Will never forget this!!! I'm so happy! I've been stuck in the house with my toxic/drunk parents in a city lockdown cus of a snowstorm and I was starting to feel numb again (aurora is the only thing that's kept me sane), but I'm so happy now even if I can't feel the happiness! This song allowed me to feel something while receiving the good news! Sry for the rant I just had no one else to say this to! Have a great day everyone!

Here's my interpretation of this clip:
- Aurora is playing our dear Artemis, the Greek goddess of the Moon (1:05);
- The scenes in which she appears in front of a light source represent a solar eclipse (0:33, 2:38);
- The scenes with red tones represent the "Blood Moon" phase of a lunar eclipse (0:51, 1:47);
- 2:29 this scene represents the moon's gravitational power over the waves in earth's oceans (here represented by the people around Aurora).

"A Temporary High" lyrics
It seems like we
Like to be llving dangerously
Our heart sings a temporary lie
It seems like her
Madness could be endlessly
Her love is a temporary high
And you're running to the shore
Howling at the waves
Howling back at you
(You, ouh, houuu !)
When you're ahead she's coming after
And when you run she's running faster
And when you love you better hope her love is not
A temporary high
Your body was warm
When she was cold you would long for love
Her storm was a temporary light
And I guess you froze
When the storm blew away her clothes
And you never got warm again
Your hands as blue as ice
You reached towards the sky
Reaching back at you
(You, ouh, houuu !)
When you're ahead she's coming after
And when you run she's running faster
And when you love you better hope her love is not
A temporary high
(You, ouh, houuu !)
And when you run she's running faster
And when you love you better hope her love is not
A temporary high
Your hands as blue as ice
You reached towards the sky
Reaching back at you
(You, ouh, houuu !)
When you're ahead she's coming after
And when you run she's running faster
And when you love you better hope her love is not
A temporary high
(You, ouh, houuu !)
And when you run she's running faster
And when you love you better hope her love is not
A temporary high

Anyone notice that at 2:29 the group is moving around her very similarly to how they did in the Queendom music video, mean to showcase the power she has, and the love she gives the people in her Queendom so they dance around her happily as she says "you have a home in my Queendom", but the difference is that in this version there are people circling the outside of the group. The people can't leave the space of power and need for love. In Queendom it was a partnership, a home. In this it's a cult, a prison.
The image of people worshipping this light also brings to mind Plato's Cave, an allegory, where people have lived chained to the wall of a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. They become obsessed with the shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality, but are not accurate representations of the real world. This perhaps could represent the inescapable warping of reality that happens in these cult like situations, unaware of the outside world. You can also see the focus on shadows at 0:54 and 1:54.

I love how this feels so "old-timey" and futuristic at the same time
