Björk — Bachelorette 🎶

Xah Lee, ,

Bachelorette by Björk, is a majestic, fear imposing love song.

I'm a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
you're bird on the brim
hypnotized by the whirl

Drink me - make me feel real
wet your beak in the stream
the game we're playing is life
love's a two way dream

The music video of this song, unwinds a dark march towards despair. It cries recursion, as unending repetition of tragedy.

Lyrics by Sjón.

BACHELORETTE

I'm a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
you're bird on the brim
hypnotized by the whirl

Drink me - make me feel real
wet your beak in the stream
the game we're playing is life
love's a two way dream

Leave me now - return tonight
tide will show you the way
if you forget my name
you will go astray
like a killer whale trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
burning under your feet
you're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water
a secret for you to hear
you're the one who grows distant
when I beckon you near

I'm a tree that grows hearts
one for each that you take
you're the intruders hand
I'm the branch that you break

Leave me now - return tonight
tide will show you the way
if you forget my name
you will go astray
like a killer whale trapped in a bay
