Violently Happy
Björk Lyrics
Since I met you
This small town hasn't got room
For my big feelings
Violently happy
Cause I love you
Violently happy
But you're not here
Come calm me down
Before I get into trouble
I tip-toe down to the shore
Stand by the ocean
Make it roar at me
And I roar back
Violently happy
Cause I love you
Violently happy
But you're not here
Violently happy
Overemotional
Violently happy
I'll get into trouble
Real soon
If you don't get here
Baby
Violently happy
Cause I love you
Violently happy
I'm aiming too high
Violently happy
It will get me into trouble
Violently happy
I'm driving my car
Too fast
With ecstatic music on
Violently happy
I'm getting too drunk
Violently happy
I'm daring people
To jump off roofs with me
Only you
Can clam me down
I'm aiming too high
Soothe me

"Violently Happy is about when you're a junkie on exchanging emotion, not at one but at the level 200. That thing. And then the person goes away and you really miss someone. When you're with that person you're really peaceful because you get what you need back and you both give everything you need to give. And that person goes away and all that exchange is not there so you get your kicks elsewhere, you end up running on rooftops in blizzards, drinking 97 tequilas just to feel.

When you're with that person you're really peaceful because you get what you need back and you both give everything you need to give. And that person goes away and all that exchange is not there so you get your kicks elsewhere, you end up running on rooftops in blizzards, drinking 97 tequilas just to feel. You know what I mean. So it starts off really happy then the longer the person's away from you, it starts getting self-destructive."

I've carried this song around in my head for 21 years now and I'll take to my grave, timeless brilliance.

Hard to get 21 years unless someone fast forwarded to 2024

Bjork is an Icelandic goddess the world was so blessed to receive for she entertains us with lit house beats and a voice of gold. Debut is timeless and makes my eyes moist with emotion every time I listen.
Himawario
When I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing, I'll mumble this song to myself.
