Only a few months before the release of her first album, Aurora dropped this song as a gift to her followers. Not wanting her fans to be Aurorians or something else that proclaimed them to be hers, she offered us to become 'Warriors and Weirdos' - and also states that she herself are bound in a two-way relationship with us (^24.1)
In us she found even deeper purpose in making music, both for herself and for her audience:
"Aurora... sees these harsh contrasts in the human condition; in suffering, perseverance and inner strength. Indeed, ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend' "is about being good to yourself and becoming human again", and was inspired in part by the personal agonies she herself suffered at the age of fifteen, and the chunk of time spent "rebuilding" in its wake." (^24.2) (I have chosen not to delve into what kind of agonies she spoke of here - it's not for us to dig into...)
"Warrior is kind of about, what I kind of think the meaning of humans life is, to be kind to other humans" (^24.3).
"... but people have fights in their lives, small and and big. And it's a nice thought, that people can walk around and call themselves warriors... It's strong. It's important to remember that, how strong we are." (^24.3)
Through this song she reminds us of the importance of taking care of ourselves - and then again empowering us to take off those around us:
"... true empowerment cannot come from others, but only from within yourself (^24.1). Be a warrior of light, only we can make this world a better place (^24.4)
'Warrior' is an ode to strength, and finding strength, during which she implores, "Let love conquer your mind," a call to arms of advice, an advice that she herself has heeded - for love is no doubt at the forefront of everything that Aurora does (^24.1).
