That happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence
Makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
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, oo-oohh
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me confuse
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
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
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
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
State of, state of
How beautiful
Emergency
Is where I want to be
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
In Björk's song "Joga," she explores the idea of emotional landscapes that puzzle her, and only with the love of her life, she can make sense of all the accidents that happen in her life. The repetition of the phrase "State of emergency" throughout the song suggests that Björk feels most alive when she is in this heightened emotional state with her partner. She finds comfort and healing in that state, as he is the only one who can see past her exterior and into the depths of her being.
The opening lines of the song, "All these accidents that happen, follow the dot coincidence," suggest that life is full of unpredictable events that happen for a reason, even if we can't always see the purpose or meaning behind them. Björk is resigned to the fact that these accidents will happen, but with her partner, they make sense in a beautiful way. The emotional landscapes that puzzle her are representative of the complex emotions that come with being in love, and her partner solves the riddle by helping her understand her own feelings better.
One interesting fact about "Joga" is that the title of the song comes from the word used in yoga to describe the position of the body that is intended to connect one with the Earth. Björk has described the song as being about her connection to her homeland of Iceland and the sense of grounding and connection she feels there. Another interesting fact is that the music video for the song features Björk in a stunning, otherworldly landscape that was actually filmed on a beach in Spain. The video was directed by Michel Gondry, who also directed some of Björk's other iconic videos.
