In the musicals
Bjork Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore it?
It's just another musical
No one minds it at all
If I'm having a ball
This is a musical
And there's always someone
To catch me
There's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
There's always someone to catch me
When you fall
Why do I love you so much?
What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't help adore you?
You were in a musical.
I don't mind it at all
If I'm having a ball
This is a musical!
And you were always there
To catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
When I fall...
I don't mind it at all
If you're having a ball
This is a musical!
And I will always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
I'll always be there to catch you
You were always there to catch me
And there's always someone
To catch me
You will always be there to catch me
You were always there to catch me
When I'd fall...
The song "In the Musicals" by Bjork is a love song that uses the metaphor of a musical to express the emotions of the singer. She wonders why she loves her partner so much and compares their relationship to a magical experience, just like watching a musical. She can't help but adore her partner, and despite any falls, there's always someone there to catch her.
The song is written in a conversational style, as if the singer is talking to her partner. She admits that being in a musical makes her happy and doesn't mind if she's having fun. Additionally, her partner was always there to catch her when she falls, and she promises to always be there for her partner too.
The use of musicals as a metaphor for love is quite interesting. Some people might see love as a scripted, choreographed performance that one can only enjoy through observation. However, the singer explores the possibility of enjoying love by being a part of it, and not just watching from the outside. The song also highlights the idea of support, wherein being in love means having someone always there to catch you when you fall.

She has more talent in her little tiny finger Than almost anyone I know! She eclipses Nancy Sinatra as if she were nothing! She puts everything in her music! For example, her rendition of Ruby baby is the best I have ever heard!
@ruthdixon7807
the whole album is great. inspired by the bjork starring movie "dancer in the dark."
@julianhz162
I so love this song with all my heart 💖💖
@frandovian
Sjón who writes Dancer in the Dark is writing The Northman, a new movie directed by Robert Eggers, and Bjork will be one of the cast too! can't wait to see her next year in cinema
