A juxtaposition in fate
Find our mutual coordinates
Moments of clarity are so rare
I better document this
At last, the view is fierce
All that matters is
Who is open-chested
And who has coagulated
Who can share and
Who has shut down the chances?
Show me emotional respect, oh respect, oh respect
And I have emotional needs, oh needs, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh
What is it that I have
That makes me feel your pain?
Like milking a stone
To get you to say it, and
Who is open?
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open?
We have emotional needs, oh needs, oh needs, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh
I'll show some emotional respect, oh respect, ooh
A juxtaposition in fate
Find our mutual coordinates

A juxtapositioning fate
Find our mutual coordinate
Moments of clarity are so rare
I better document this
At last the view is fierce
All that matters is
Who is open chested
And who has coagulated
Who can share
And who has shut down the chances
Show me emotional respect
I have emotional needs
I wish to synchronize our feelings
What is it that I have
That makes me feel your pain
Like milking a stone
To get you to say it
Who is open
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open
We have emotional need

History Of Touches
I wake you up in the middle of the night
To express my love for you
Stroke your skin and feel you
Naked I can feel all of you
At the same moment
I wake you up in the night
Feeling this is our last time together
Therefore sensing all the moments
We've been together
Being here at the same time
Every single touch we ever touch each other
Every single f*ck we had together
Is in a wondrous time lapse
With us here here at this moment
The history of touches
Every single archive
Compressed into a second
All with us here as I wake you up
To express my love for you
Stroke your skin and feel you
Naked I can feel all of you
At the same moment
I wake you up in the night
Feeling this is our last time together
Therefore sensing all the moments
We've been together
Being here at the same time
Every single touch we ever touch each other
Every single f*ck we had together
Is in a wondrous time lapse
With us here here at this moment
The history of touches
Every single archive
Compressed into a second
All with us here as I wake you up

Black Lake
Our love was my womb but our bond has broken
My shield is gone, my protection is taken
I am one wound, my pulsating body
Suffering be
My heart is enormous lake, black with potion
I am blind, drowning in this ocean
My soul torn apart, my spirit is broken
Into the fabric of all he has woven
You fear my limitless emotions
I am bored of your apocalyptic obsessions
Did I love you too much? Devotion bent me broken
So I remained, destroyed the icon
I did it for love, I honored my feelings
You betrayed your own heart, corrupted that organ
Family was always our sacred mutual mission
Which you abandoned
You have nothing to give, your heart is hollow
I am drowned in sorrows
No hope in sight, of ember
Reckoning eternal pain and horrors
I am a glowing shining rocket
Returning home
As I enter the atmosphere
I burn off layer by layer
My shield is gone, my protection is taken
I am one wound, my pulsating body
Suffering be
My heart is enormous lake, black with potion
I am blind, drowning in this ocean
My soul torn apart, my spirit is broken
Into the fabric of all he has woven
You fear my limitless emotions
I am bored of your apocalyptic obsessions
Did I love you too much? Devotion bent me broken
So I remained, destroyed the icon
I did it for love, I honored my feelings
You betrayed your own heart, corrupted that organ
Family was always our sacred mutual mission
Which you abandoned
You have nothing to give, your heart is hollow
I am drowned in sorrows
No hope in sight, of ember
Reckoning eternal pain and horrors
I am a glowing shining rocket
Returning home
As I enter the atmosphere
I burn off layer by layer

Family
Is there a place
Where I can pay respects
For the death of my family
Show some respect
Between the three of us
There is the mother and the child
Then there is the father and the child
But no man and a woman
No triangle of love
So where do I go
To make an offering
I fall on my knees
And lay my flowers
Burn incense
Light the candles
So where do I go
To make an offering
To mourn our miraculous
Triangle
Father, mother, child
How will is sing us
Out of this sorrow
Build a safe bridge
For the child
Out of this danger
Danger
I raise a monument of love
There is a swarm of sound
Around our heads
And we can hear it
And we can get healed by it
It will relieve us from the pain
It will make us a part of
This universe of solutions
This place of solutions
This location of solutions
Where I can pay respects
For the death of my family
Show some respect
Between the three of us
There is the mother and the child
Then there is the father and the child
But no man and a woman
No triangle of love
So where do I go
To make an offering
I fall on my knees
And lay my flowers
Burn incense
Light the candles
So where do I go
To make an offering
To mourn our miraculous
Triangle
Father, mother, child
How will is sing us
Out of this sorrow
Build a safe bridge
For the child
Out of this danger
Danger
I raise a monument of love
There is a swarm of sound
Around our heads
And we can hear it
And we can get healed by it
It will relieve us from the pain
It will make us a part of
This universe of solutions
This place of solutions
This location of solutions

Notget
Once you fell out of love
Our love couldn't carry you
And I didn't even notice for
Our love kept me safe from
Death
You doubted the lights
And the shelter it can give
For in love we are immortal
Eternal and safe from death
If I regret us
I'm denying my soul to grow
Don't remove my pain
It is my chance to heal
We carry the same wound
But have different cures
Similar injuries
But opposite remedies
After our love ended
Your arms don't carry me
Without love I feel the abyss
Understand your fear of death
I will not forget
This notget
Will you not regret
Having love let go
After our love ended
Your spirit entered me
Now we are the guardians
We'll keep her safe from death
Love will keep all of us safe from death
Love will keep us safe from death
(Safe! From!)
Love will keep all of us safe from death
Death
Love will keep us safe from (from) death
Love will keep all of us safe from death
Our love couldn't carry you
And I didn't even notice for
Our love kept me safe from
Death

And the shelter it can give
For in love we are immortal
Eternal and safe from death
If I regret us
I'm denying my soul to grow
Don't remove my pain
It is my chance to heal
We carry the same wound
But have different cures
Similar injuries
But opposite remedies
After our love ended

Without love I feel the abyss

Now we are the guardians

Death
Love will keep us safe from (from) death
Love will keep all of us safe from death

Atom Dance
We are each others hemispheres
I am finetuning my soul
To the universal wavelength
No one is a lover alone
I propose an atom dance
Our hearts are coral reefs in low tide
Love is the ocean we crave
Restlessly turning around and around
I am dancing towards transformation
Learning by love to open it up
Let this ugly wound breathe
We fear unconditional heart space
Healed by atom dance
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me
We are each others hemispheres
We aim at peeling off
Dead layers of loveless love
No one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
Becoming themselves fully
It scares them off
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me
We are each others hemispheres
No one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
You are my second hemisphere
The atoms are dancing
No one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
I am finetuning my soul
To the universal wavelength
No one is a lover alone
I propose an atom dance
Our hearts are coral reefs in low tide
Love is the ocean we crave
Restlessly turning around and around
I am dancing towards transformation
Learning by love to open it up
Let this ugly wound breathe
We fear unconditional heart space
Healed by atom dance
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me
We are each others hemispheres
We aim at peeling off
Dead layers of loveless love
No one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
Becoming themselves fully
It scares them off
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me
We are each others hemispheres
No one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
You are my second hemisphere
The atoms are dancing
No one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home

Mouth Mantra
My throat was stuffed
My mouth was sewn up
Banned from making noise
I was not heard
Remove this hindrance
My throat feels stuck
I was not allowed
I was not heard
There is vocal sadness
I was separated
From what I can do
What I'm capable of
Need to break up
Vicious habits
Do something
I haven't done before
In vow of silence
Explore the negative space
Around my mouth
It implodes
Black hole
With jaw fallen in
In fallen jaw
Jaw fallen in
I am not hurt
This tunnel has enabled
Thousands of sounds
I thank this trunk
Noise pipe
I have followed a path
That took sacrifices
Now I sacrifice this scar
Can you cut it off
My mouth was sewn up
Banned from making noise
I was not heard
Remove this hindrance
My throat feels stuck
I was not allowed
I was not heard
There is vocal sadness
I was separated
From what I can do
What I'm capable of
Need to break up
Vicious habits
Do something
I haven't done before
In vow of silence
Explore the negative space
Around my mouth
It implodes
Black hole
With jaw fallen in
In fallen jaw
Jaw fallen in
I am not hurt
This tunnel has enabled
Thousands of sounds
I thank this trunk
Noise pipe
I have followed a path
That took sacrifices
Now I sacrifice this scar
Can you cut it off

Quicksand
Define her abyss, show it respect
Then a celestial nest will grow above
When I'm broken, I am whole
And when I'm whole, I'm broken
Our mother's philosophy
It feels like quicksand
And if she sinks
I'm going down with her
Locate her black lake, the steam from this pit
Will form a cloud for her to live on
When she's broken, she is whole
And when she's whole, she's broken
Our mother's philosophy
It feels like quicksand
And if she sinks
I'm going down with her
Hackle this darkness
Up to the light
Where choreographed oxygen
Embroiders the air
When we're broken we are whole
And when we're whole we're broken
We are the siblings of the sun
Let's step into this beam
Every time you give up
You take away our future
And my continuity and my daughter's
And her daughters
And her daughters
And her daughters
Then a celestial nest will grow above
When I'm broken, I am whole
And when I'm whole, I'm broken
Our mother's philosophy
It feels like quicksand
And if she sinks
I'm going down with her
Locate her black lake, the steam from this pit
Will form a cloud for her to live on
When she's broken, she is whole
And when she's whole, she's broken
Our mother's philosophy
It feels like quicksand
And if she sinks
I'm going down with her
Hackle this darkness
Up to the light
Where choreographed oxygen
Embroiders the air
When we're broken we are whole
And when we're whole we're broken
We are the siblings of the sun
Let's step into this beam
Every time you give up
You take away our future
And my continuity and my daughter's
And her daughters
And her daughters
And her daughters

Vulnicura is the eighth[nb 1] studio album by Icelandic musician and singer Björk. It was produced by Björk, Arca and The Haxan Cloak, and released on 20 January 2015 by One Little Indian Records. Björk said the album expresses her feelings before and after her breakup with American contemporary artist Matthew Barney and the healing process.
Vulnicura was originally scheduled for release in March 2015, in conjunction with the Björk: Archives book and an exhibition about Björk's career at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; following an internet leak, it was released digitally two months early. No singles were released to promote the album but a series of innovative music videos were created, culminating in the 360-degree virtual reality exhibit Björk Digital. Vulnicura received widespread acclaim from critics, with many considering it one of her most honest and personal albums as well as her best output in a decade.
The companion album Vulnicura Strings was released on 6 November 2015. It features strings-only interpretations of the Vulnicura tracks and utilises an instrument designed by Leonardo da Vinci called the viola organista. By October 2015, the album had sold 250,000 copies worldwide.
