Generous Palmstroke
Bjork Lyrics

I am strong in his hands
She feels secure and protected in the hands of someone she trusts.

I am beyond me
She feels that she has transcended her own limitations and is capable of more than she thought possible.

On my own I'm human
She acknowledges that she is fallible and vulnerable when she is alone.

And I do faults
She admits to making mistakes and not being perfect.

I do confess
She is willing to admit her mistakes and take responsibility for them.

I feel you trickling
She senses a connection to someone or something else, almost like a spiritual presence.

Down my shoulders
She imagines this connection as a physical sensation, perhaps like a comforting embrace.

From above
She associates this connection with a higher power or divine force.

I turn myself in
She surrenders herself completely to this connection, giving up control or autonomy.

I give myself up
She willingly relinquishes her independence and becomes dependent on the other person or entity.

Volunteer
She offers herself willingly and eagerly, without reservation.

You own me : I'm yours
She acknowledges that the other person or entity has complete control over her, and accepts this willingly.

You have to trust it
She understands that the connection or relationship requires mutual trust in order to thrive.

I'm eternally yours
She pledges herself to the other person or entity for all time, without reservation or hesitation.

All that I gave them
She has shared herself with others in the past, but now gives herself completely to the other person or entity.

I gave to you
She chooses to share herself exclusively with the other person or entity.

So needy of comfort
She craves emotional support and reassurance, especially from the other person or entity.

But too raw to be embraced
She is emotionally vulnerable and sensitive, but fears being rejected or hurt.

Undo this privacy
She wants to let down her guard and allow the other person or entity to see her as she truly is.

And put me in my place
She wants to feel a sense of belonging and purpose, and be guided by the other person or entity.

Generous palm stroke
She craves physical touch and comfort, like a gentle hand on her shoulder.

The hugest of hugs
She wants to feel embraced and comforted by the other person or entity.

Embrace me
She begs the other person or entity to hold her close and provide comfort and support.

Eeeeeemmmmm
This is a vocalization that conveys intense emotion, like a cry or a moan.

She's strong in his hands
This line repeats the first line of the song, reinforcing the idea that she feels secure and protected in the hands of someone she trusts.

She is beyond her
This line repeats the second line of the song, emphasizing that she has transcended her own limitations and is capable of more than she thought possible.

On her own she is human
This line repeats the third line of the song, reminding the listener that she is fallible and vulnerable when she is alone.

And she does faults
This line repeats the fourth line of the song, acknowledging that she makes mistakes and is not perfect.
