Come to me
Bjųrk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Protect you, calm, calm down
You're exhausted, come lay down
You don't have to explain, I understand
You know that I adore you
You know that I love you
So don't make me say it
Break the charm
Jump off, your building's on fire
And I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Destroy all that is keeping you down
And then I'll nurse you, I'll nurse you
I'll protect you
You know that I adore you
You know that I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm
The lyrics of Björk's song Come to Me seem to be addressed to someone who is feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. The singer reassures the person that they do not have to explain themselves and promises to take care of them. There is a sense of intimacy and deep emotion in the words, as Björk sings about adoration and love without explicitly saying the words. The line "So don't make me say it/It would burst the bubble/Break the charm" suggests that the singer believes there is a delicate balance to their relationship, one that could be disrupted by the spoken word.
The second half of the song takes on a more urgent tone. The metaphor of a burning building creates a dramatic sense of danger, but the singer promises to catch the person who jumps. The phrase "destroy all that is keeping you down" implies that the person is being held back by something, perhaps internal struggles or external pressures. The singer is fiercely protective and nurturing, promising to nurse the person back to health. Throughout the song, there is a sense of a deep and caring bond between the singer and the person addressed in the lyrics, and the words speak to the desire to hold on to that connection and protect it from harm.

LOL Why did you wait so long, ya silly billy! Shacking up always leads to trouble in the long run, but I get it: you're young! (I'm guessing just shy of 30.) Am I right? Thought so. :P So congrats on finally getting hitched: you'll see it's not much different from before! (Just don't tell my ungracefully aging husband Phil! LOL)
Whelp, gotta go keep the pot from boiling & the kids from screaming, otherwise known as:
