Bjork Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
look no further
look no further
cruelest
almost
always to ourselves
it musn't
off
it's in our hands : it always was
it's in our hands : in our hands
it's all there : in our hands
it's all there : in our hands
well
now
aren't we scaring ourselves
unecessarily?
aren't we trying too hard?
'cause it's in our hands
it's in our hands
it's all here : it's in our hands
look no further
look no further
it's in our hands : it always was
it's in our hands
Bjork's song "Our Hands" is a reflection on the human tendency to harm ourselves and create unnecessary difficulty in our lives. The repetition of "look no further" throughout the song is a reminder that we already possess the power to overcome our problems, and we don't need to look for external solutions. The lyrics "cruelest almost always to ourselves" suggest that we are often the root of our own suffering.
Throughout the song, Bjork emphasizes the idea that we have the power to change our lives. The repetition of "it's in our hands" suggests that we have the agency to make our lives better, and we always have. The line "aren't we scaring ourselves unnecessarily?" highlights the way we often create fear and anxiety for ourselves without reason. The final repetition of "it's in our hands" is a call to action, reminding us that we are capable of making positive changes in our own lives.
Overall, "Our Hands" is a hopeful song that encourages listeners to take control of their own lives and recognize their own agency. Bjork's lyrics remind us that we have the power to overcome our problems and create positive change in the world.

Very true. She wss comtemporary yet also somehow way ahead of her time.
@eirikheggelund
We were not ready for this in 2002.
@mcmlxii4419
Freshier? Lol
@Del-Lebo
I have her first recording as a child, singing Icelandic stories...many years ago... She is a Genius Goddess! I am always thrilled when anything new comes out...even older stuff.
@dylanhillebrand7005
It’s amazing how well her music aged. This could be released today today and it would still sound fresh!
