Björk's song Stígðu Mig is a haunting and atmospheric track that is sung in Icelandic. The lyrics speak of being overwhelmed by the natural world, where huge houses loom out of the fog, and the eyes of the singer are said to die in endless samförum or collaborations. There is a sense of unease and foreboding in the song, with the imagery of the fog and the sense of being trapped or overwhelmed by forces beyond one's control.
The track is open to interpretation, but it could be seen as a reflection on the power of nature and the human experience of feeling small and insignificant in the face of it. The music is atmospheric and sparse, with Björk's voice hovering over a background of deep, resonant bass tones and eerie sound effects. It's a haunting and beautiful piece that captures a sense of wonder and fear at the power of the natural world.

This isn't a Björk solo song actually. This one, alongside Síðasta Ég and Glóra, are songs by a side project of KUKL she had between 1984-1986 called The Elgar Sisters. This track was recorded in 1986. Also, this is indeed guitar, performed by famed Icelandic guitarist G.K. Óttarsson
