I’m holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What happens next?
Song: Pluto

but i just have to
explode
explode this body
off me
wake-up tomorrow
brand new
a little tired
but brand new
Song: Alarm Call
Artist: Björk
Album: Homogenic
“I have walked this earth and watched people.
I can be sincere and say i like them”
“You can’t say no to hope, can’t say no to happiness”
“I want to go on a mountain-top
with a radio and good batteries
play a joyous tune
and free the human race from suffering”
“I’m no fucking buddhist but this is enlightenment”
“The less room you give me, the more space I’ve got”
“This is an alarm-call so wake-up wake-up now”
“Today has never happened and it doesn’t frighten me”
Song: Army Of Me
Artist: Björk
Album: Post
stand up
you’ve got to manage
i won’t sympathise
anymore
and if you complain once more
you’ll meet an army of me
you’re alright
there’s nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work
and if you complain once more
you’ll meet an army of me
you’re on your way now
we won’t save you
your rescue-squad
is too exhausted
and if you complain once more
you’ll meet an army of me
Song: Undo
Artist: Björk
Album: Vespertine
It’s not meant to be a strife
It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
You’re trying too hard
Surrender
Give yourself in
You’re trying too hard
It’s not meant to be a strife
It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
It’s warmer now
Lean into it
Unfold in a generous way
Surrender
It’s not meant to be a strife
It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
I’m praying
To be
In a generous mode
The kindness kind
To share me
Quietly ecstatic
It’s not meant to be a strife
It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
Undo if you’re bleeding undo
If you’re sweating undo
If you’re crying undo
Undo

“…sweet like harmony made into flesh/
you dance by my side.”
Song: Sun In My Mouth
Artist: Björk
Album: Vespertine
I will wade out till my thighs
Are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
And leap into the ripe air alive
With closed eyes
To dash against darkness
in the sleeping curves of my body
I shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
With chasteness of seagulls
Will I complete the mastery of my flesh
