Paroles

All these accidents that happen
follow the dot
coincidence makes sense
only with you
you don’t have to speak - I feel

Emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
then the riddle gets solved
and you push me up to this :

State of emergency : how beautiful to be
state of emergency : is where I want to be

All that no-one sees
you see
what’s inside of me
every nerve that hurts you heal
deep inside of me
you don’t have to speak - I feel

Emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
then the riddle gets solved
and you push me up to this :

State of emergency : how beautiful to be
state of emergency : is where I want to be

-----

When I’ve lost my cards, you deal
me another hand
even when I sleep, you’re real
on your way to me
you don’t have to speak - I feel

This strengh I get from you
I rest my head in your hands
but when I leave, I leave you only to :
give out to the others, this :

State of emergency...

Björk à propos du titre

"I think that songs is several things. At the time, I was going to move to London for a couple of months to record an album. I ended up doing two records and touring the world. I’d never been so long away from Iceland, so when I started preparing for Homogenic, it was very obviously supposed to be a love album to Iceland nature. I’d learned enough about studios and beats to make modern Icelandic pop music. It’s isn’t Icelandic music trying to be English or American. I was doing a lot of experimenting with beats trying to make them sound volcanic. With this song, I really had a sort of National Anthem in mind. Not the National Anthem but certain classic Icelandic songs -very romantic, very proud. All the puffin stories are rubbish, though." Record Collector, Aout 2002
