Joga
Björk feat. Massive Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these accidents that happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
I feel

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, ooh
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me and 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Björk feat. Massive Attack's song Joga speak to the intense emotional connection between two people. The song starts by referencing the accidents and coincidences that seem to follow the dot, or the path that life takes. However, these seemingly random events only make sense when experienced with someone special, as the singer suggests, "Only with you". The person in question doesn't even have to speak - their mere presence and understanding of the singer's emotional landscape is enough to heal them deep inside.


The emotional landscapes that the singer speaks of are those intense, complicated emotions that are difficult to put into words. But when they're with this other person, the riddle of those emotions gets solved, and they're pushed up to a state of emergency - a heightened state of emotion that is so beautiful. The use of 'emergency' in this context suggests that the intensity of the emotion borders on overwhelming, but is also exhilarating. The repetition of the phrase 'state of emergency' at the end of the song reinforces this idea.


Overall, Joga is a powerful and poetic portrayal of the deep emotional connection between two people, and how that connection can both heal and push someone to the heights of their emotions.
