Björk - ​Body Memory lyrics

Björk Guðmundsdóttir

[Björk - ​Body Memory lyrics]

First snow of Winter
I'm walking hills and valleys
Adore this mystical fog! This fucking mist!
These cliffs are just showing off!

Then the body memory kicks in
I mime my home mountains
The moss that I'm made of i redeem myself

I've been wrestling my fate
Do I accept this ending?
Will I accept my death
Or struggle claustrophobic?
Fought like a wolverine with my destiny
Refuse to accept what was meant to be

Then the body memory kicks in
And I trust the unknown
Unfathomable imagination surrender to future

Oh, how to capture all this love


And find a pathway for it
Like threading an ocean through a needle
River through a keyhole
Can't fathom the grasp
I can't grasp the fathom

Then my body memory kicks in
My limbs and tongue take over
Like the ancestors before me
Show me the flow

My sexual DNA x rays of my Kama Sutras
Summons different bodies
Compares spines and buttocks
And back of necks

Then my body memory kicks in
It simply takes over bestiality
I redeem my body

I wasn't born urban
Toxic doesn't agree with me
Love lured me here into a stagnant state
My myths, my customs, ridiculed
Vacuum packed molecules

Then my body memory kicks in
On this Brooklyn dance floor
Sweating with these rhythms
Rotate this matrix

All trapped in legal harness kafkaesque
Farce like patriarchy avoided to confront it

Then the body memory kicks in
My warrior awakens my turn to defend
Urban didn't tame me

Then my body memory kicks in
All bosoms and embraces oral, anal entrances
Enjoy the satisfaction
If the other is growing
