Holographic Entrypoint
Björk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vessel, host, occidental guests
Figure and field, both, carrier, carried
Holographic paradigm
The whole in every part

Warm, viscous body, cooling
In marine air embrace
Curing, skinning over
A still molten core

Vessel, host, occidental guests
Skin seascape in suspension
Holographic entry point
Each part reflects the whole

Skin slit, consensual knife
She cuts his figure, he flenses her field
External resistance freeing
Internal relation emerging

Vessel, host, occidental guests
To pattern, comes blood, giving form
Holographic condition
The whole in every part

Warm blood, terrestrial guests
Take to the southern sea, breathing




Antarctic host and vessel, proud
Cetacean guests returning

wow bjork's voice is so gentle 😍😍

@valeriamorales9979

I used to drive my mom crazy listening to this for ours on repeat, as a teenager.
I found a partner that loves listening to gutural singing in mongolian music, I this he's the one. This song feels like a closure to my teenage self.

@InstallaFriend

bjork sounds a bit different on this one

@lucifugorofacale2932

@infinityinfinityinfi

@tas6029

This is Noh, it's normal if you don't like it, it's a Japanese form of theatre and very different from anything Western. Just don't call it weird or terrible etc, it's just disrespectful.

@ReuXLeito

this is probably the worst song i ever hear in my life

@triumphantsound

@dropfm1555
