Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To think he could replace
The missing elements in me
How extremely lazy of me
How could I be so immature
To think he could replace
The missing elements in me
How could I be so immature
How could I be so immature
The lyrics of Björk's song Immature contemplate the theme of emotional dependency on others to fulfill the missing elements within oneself. The opening lines express the singer's realization of their own naivety when it comes to reliance on their partner to make up for what they lack. They admit to being immature in their belief that their significant other could replace the things that they are missing within themselves.
The repetition of the same lines throughout the song emphasizes the singer's shame and regret over their own lack of independence. The song's title itself, "Immature," highlights the issue at hand and suggests a sense of self-criticism.
The lyrics delve deep into the complexities of personal growth and the importance of recognizing one's own flaws and shortcomings. It is a powerful reminder to be self-sufficient and to not place the onus of our own happiness on external factors or individuals. Overall, the lyrics of Immature poignantly convey a message of self-awareness and self-acceptance.

I think that the song most underrated of this album is "All neon like"

This song is like a cautious sense of self. That part of you that's been hurt and regrets rushing into an in depth involvement with another person, and now see's that as emotionally immature.

Bjork's music is timeless. This could've been released this year and it would be just as good.

She’s literally throwing away the concept of love and unity or the concept of continuation of life, she’s labeled it as immaturity. She is unified. She is fulfilled. No need for anyone else in the world except for her.
