Earth intruders
Björk (Бьёрк) Lyrics

We are the earth intruders
We are humans who have invaded and disturbed the natural balance of the earth

Muddy with twigs and branches
Our presence on earth has caused physical destruction, with evidence of this visible in the twigs and branches stuck to our clothing

Turmoil, carnage
Our actions have resulted in chaos and destruction

Here come the earth intruders
Our presence is imposing and disruptive

We are the paratroopers
We have invaded the earth from above, with no regard for the damage we cause

Stampede of sharpshooters
We are aggressively moving forward, causing destruction in our path

Come straight from voodoo
Our actions may seem mystical or inexplicable, as if driven by some dark force

With our feet thumping
Our presence is felt through the forceful impact of our footsteps

With our feet marching
We are moving forward with a sense of purpose and authority

Grinding skeptics into the soil
We are overpowering those who question or oppose us; our actions are destructive and merciless

Shower of goodness
Despite the destruction we have caused, there is still hope for redemption and repair

Coming to end the doubt pouring over
Our actions may have caused uncertainty and despair, but we have the power to reverse this

We are the sharp shooters
We are precise in our destruction, taking aim at what we want to eliminate

Flock of parashooters
We are many in number, arriving from the sky and descending upon the earth

Necessary voodoo
Our actions, while destructive, may be seen as a necessary evil or a means to an end

I have guided my bones
The artist has led themselves through struggles and hardships

Through some voltage
This journey has involved moments of great intensity or emotional pain

And loved them still
Despite these trials, the singer still has affection for themselves and their own experiences

And loved them too
The singer also acknowledges the value of the love and affection they have received from others throughout their life

Metallic carnage
The destruction caused by humans can be contrasted with something cold and inhuman, like metal

Ferocity
Our aggressive actions are characterized by a savage or animalistic intensity

Feel the speed
Our actions are swift and powerful, leaving little time for reflection or reconsideration

There is turmoil out there
The world is in a state of chaos and disorder

Carnage, rambling
Destruction is rampant and uncontrolled

What is to do but dig
There may seem to be no solution to the problems we face, except to try and clear away the rubble and start fresh

Dig bones out of earth
This may involve confronting or addressing painful and difficult issues from the past, in order to move forward and heal

Mudgraves, timber
The process of rebuilding may be messy and difficult, but it is necessary

Morbid trenches
The process of rebuilding may involve revisiting dark and painful memories

Stampede of resistance
Despite the destruction we have caused, there are those who will rise up and fight against us

We are the canoneers
We are the ones wielding the weapons of destruction

Necessary voodoo
Our actions may seem mystical or inexplicable, but we see them as essential to achieving our goals

And the beast
There may be some primal or monstrous force driving our destructive tendencies

With many heads
This force may manifest itself in many different ways or through many different individuals

And arms rolling
Those who are caught up in this force may not even realize what they are doing or why

Steamroller
Our destructive force may seem unstoppable and overwhelming

Forgive this tribe
Despite the harm we have caused, we ask for forgiveness and a chance to make things right

March
We must continue moving forward, even if the path ahead is uncertain or challenging
