"Wisdom Cries" is a song by AURORA, released for the deluxe version of her debut album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend. It is the sixteenth track on the album.
This is one of AURORA's favorite songs off the debut album and, referencing this song, she said she believes that she will "definitely go a bit more complex" as she becomes more powerful.
It is reminiscent of the inability to think clearly when we are disoriented. Touching on ideas like insomnia and melancholy, the minor chords and minor chord progressions intend to cause stress in the listener. When listening to this song for the first time, imagine waking up after a bad dream and not sleeping well, only to awake to a fire alarm or siren.
"It's about… Humans and the world. We have spent so many years, millions of years collecting wisdom and learning about each other, respect, knowledge and all of the things we should know. Then I feel like if Wisdom was a person, maybe, he/she'd look down upon us and see all the things we do towards the planet, the animals, the women, the men and the children… I think Wisdom would cry because we spend like a second tearing down what we have spent millions of years becoming, if that makes sense. And it's… sad."
