If children understand, why can’t adults?

"Jóga" by Björk


All these accidents that happen
 Follow the dot
 Coincidence makes sense
 Only with you
 You don't have to speak
 I feel
 Emotional landscapes
 They puzzle me

 Then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this
 State of emergency
 How beautiful to be
 State of emergency
 Is where I want to be

 All that no-one sees
 You see
 What's inside of me
 Every nerve that hurts you heal
 Deep inside of me
 You don't have to speak
 I feel
 Emotional landscapes
 They puzzle me
 Confuse

 Emotional landscapes
 They puzzle me

But there is a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the angel backwards into the future
And this storm, this storm is called Progress.”… Go to Article
