Come to me
Björk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll take care of you
Protect you
Calm, calm down
You're exhausted
Come lie 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
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm
Jump off
Your building's on fire
I'll catch you
I'll catch you
Destroy all that is keeping you back
And then I'll nurse you
I'll nurse you
Come to me
I'll take care of you
You don't have to explain
I understand
Björk's "Come to Me" is a song about love and support. The song starts off with the singer inviting the person she loves to come to her. The person is exhausted and the singer wants to take care of them. The singer reassures the person that they don't have to explain anything because she already understands. She also tells the person that she adores and loves them, but she doesn't want to say it because it might break the charm and the bubble.
In the second verse, the singer gives an analogy of a building on fire and tells the person to jump off, reassuring them that she'll catch them. She wants to destroy all that is keeping the person back and then nurse them back to health.
The song is an expression of love and support. The singer wants to take care of the person and help them get through their struggles. She wants to be their rock and their support system. The song's message is that sometimes when we're going through difficult times, all we need is someone we trust to take care of us and reassure us that everything will be okay.

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:
