All Neon Like
Bjork / Homogenic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll come over
Not 'til it shimmers 'round your skull
I'll be yours
I weave for you
The marvelous web
Glow in the dark threads
The cocoon surrounds you
Embraces all
So you can sleep
Foetus-style
And they will assist us
'Cause we're asking for help
And the luminous beam
It feeds you
The soft distortion
Fills you up
Nourish nourish
Your turtleheart
And they will assist us
'Cause we're asking for help
And the luminous beam
It feeds you
Don't get angry with yourself
Don't, don't get angry with yourself
I'll heal you
With a razorblade
I'll cut a slit open
And the luminous beam
Feeds you honey, heals you
Don't get angry with yourself
Don't get angry with yourself
Don't get angry with yourself
Don't get angry with yourself
I'll heal you
I'll heal you
Luminous
I'll heal you
The lyrics to Bjork's song "All Neon Like" from the album Homogenic seems to be about the power of love, healing, and protection. Bjork talks about a cocoon surrounding the listener as they sleep, offering protection and nourishment. She weaves a marvelous web with threads that glow in the dark, creating an aura of neon light. The cocoon embraces the listener, allowing them to sleep in foetus-like comfort. The song further explores the theme of assistance, with the "luminous beam" providing help and feeding the listener as they quietly sleep.
The phrase "not until you halo all over me" seems to suggest that the person wants to be in complete union with the listener, enveloped so that their aura, or "halo," is entirely around them. The next line, "I'll come over," seems to mean that the other person won't be around until they feel that full unity. The song asks the listener not to be angry with themselves and that the singer will heal them, even if it means using a razor blade to cut open a "slit," allowing the "luminous beam" to feed and heal them. The song ends with "I'll heal you. Luminous. I'll heal you," emphasizing the power of healing, protection, and love.

Your turtleheart
Your hesitant and slow-moving heart, I want to take care of it
With a razorblade
I'll use a sharp tool to cut through the negativity and pain
I'll cut a slit open
To make you whole again, I'll do whatever it takes
Feeds you honey, heals you
I'll offer the sweetness of my love and care to heal your wounds
Don't get angry with yourself
Be gentle and forgiving with yourself
I'll heal you
I'll be the one to help you recover and feel better again
Luminous
Shining brightly with radiance and love

This song saved my life. The first time I listened to Homogenic, I was contemplating suicide. I had a knife at my wrist and was about to make a cut. When Bjork sang 'Don't get angry with yourself' I realized that was exactly what I was doing, being angry with myself. A calm swept over me. I put the blade away, enjoyed the rest of the album and went to sleep.

I get chills when she sings "I'll heal you"...she sounds so innocent. Like a child trying to comfort a sick friend.
