We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way
To start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I love this song.. I know how weird bjork may seem but her lyrics are so deep and this song is the epitome of what a relationship's all about. People think it's about her trying to commit suicide in this song by trying to jump off the cliff. The whole point of this song is the fact that the best is always achieved whenever you think of the worst. And in order to get the best of something you have to think about the worst. Like, after cheating on my ex once, I know how much I value him afterwards. After being rejected from dates, I get the better explanation of life's normality and not just get too influenced by this so called 'life on a high' era. I think all of us who have partners have to go through a bit of tough times to actually get back to their partners and everytime that happens, you just love them more. That's another reason I believe in make ups after break ups. What Bjork's saying in this song is how she imagined the worst and go back home to feel the security of being with her loved ones... Isn't life grand! :)
