Björk
Body Memory (Live 2023)
[Verse 1]
First snow of Winter
I'm walking hills and valleys
Adore this mystical fog
This fucking mist
These cliffs are just showing off
[Refrain 1]
Then the body memory kicks in
I mime my home mountains
The moss that I'm made of
I redeem myself
[Verse 2]
Wrestling with my fate
Do I accept this ending?
Will I accept my death?
Or struggle claustrophobic?
Fought like a wolverine
With my destiny
Refuse to accept
What was meant to be
[Refrain 2]
Then my body memory kicks in
I trust the unknown
Unfathomable imagination
I surrender to future
[Verse 3]
How to capture all this love
And find a pathway for it
Like threading an ocean through a needle
River through a keyhole
I can't fathom the grasp
I can't grasp the fathom
[Refrain 3]
Then my body memory kicks in
My limbs and tongue take over
Like the ancestors before me
They show me the flow
[Verse 4]
My sexual DNA
X-rays of my Kama Sutras
Summons different bodies
Compares spines and buttocks
And back of necks
[Refrain 4]
Then my body memory kicks in
It simply takes over
Bestiality
I redeem my body
[Non-lyrical vocals]
[Verse 5]
I wasn't born urban
Toxic doesn't agree with me
Love lured me here
Into a stagnant state
My myths, my customs, ridiculed
Vacuum-packed molecules
[Refrain 5]
Then my body memory kicks in
On this Brooklyn dance floor
Sweating with these rhythms
Rotate this matrix
[Verse 6]
Trapped in legal harness
Kafka-esque farce like patriarchy
Avoided to confront it
[Refrain 6]
Then my body memory kicks in
My warrior awakens
My turn to defend
Urban didn't tame me
[Refrain 7]
Then the body memory kicks in
All bosoms and embraces
Oral, anal, entrances!
Enjoy the satisfaction!
If the other 'growing!
[Audience Cheering]
