Body Memory

Body Memory - Björk (比约克)

Written by：Björk

First snow in winter

I'm walking hills and valleys

Adore this mystical fog

This f**king mist

These cliffs are just showing off

Then the body memory kicks in

I mime my home mountains

The moss that I'm made of

I redeem myself

I've been 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

Then the body memory kicks in

And trust the unknown

Fathomable imagination

Surrender to future

Oh 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

Then my body memory kicks in

My limbs and tongue take over

Like the ancestors before me

Show me the flow

My sexual DNA

X rays of my Kama Sutras

Summons different bodies

Compares spines and buttocks

And back of necks

Then my body memory kicks in

It simply takes over

Beastiality

I redeem my body

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

Then my body memory kicks in

On this Brooklyn dance floor

Sweating with these rhythms

Rotate this matrix

I'm trapped in legal harness

Kafka esque

Farce like patriarchy

Avoided to confront it

The body memory kicks in

My warrior awakens

My turn to defend

Urban didn't tame me

Then my body memory kicks in

All bosoms and embraces

Oral anal entrances

Enjoy the satisfaction

Of the other is growing
