Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these accidents
That happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence
Makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

All that no-one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts
You heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me confuse
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

The accidents and coincidences that occur in her life suddenly make sense when she is with this person, and they have the power to heal her emotional wounds and push her towards a state of emergency where she feels truly alive.


The concept of "emotional landscapes" is a powerful metaphor for the way in which our emotions can shape and inform our experiences of the world. The singer is puzzled by these landscapes and the riddles they present, but her partner has the ability to solve them and help her come to a deeper understanding of herself and her emotions.


The repeated phrase "state of emergency" reinforces the idea that the singer feels the most alive and in touch with herself when she is in a heightened emotional state. She desires this intensity and chaos because it makes her feel truly alive and connected to the world.

You Forget 1000 Things A Day

This song used to bring me to tears. No one can capture beauty like Bjork. Her music has an odd twist that grips you and pulls you into a musical rip tide. She's a goddess with a pen and paper.

gajo

Oh shit, I was just writing "Bjork is a goddess" on a review I made of this song xD

matt mcdonough

You Forget A 1000 Things A Day no joke was feeling the exact same thing, what a goddess would sound like, and then I read the first comment. perfection

MisAnnThorpe

jeeshaw123; yes it still has that affect on me on occasions. But then so does Generous palmstroke, aurora and a good many other of Bjork's songs.

Choss Peñafiel

You Forget A 1000 Things A Day this one and Unravel will always touch the nerve

silverpyramid9

This song was a killer when it came out. Way ahead of its time.
This could come out today and still be amazing.
