• 4-blасk lаkе

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 being

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 is 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 rebelled
Destroyed the icon

I did it for love
I honoured 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’m drowned in sorrows
No hope in sight of ever recover
Eternal pain and horrors

I am a glowing shiny rocket
Returning home
As I enter the atmosphere
I burn off layer by layer

In the album booklet, the sub-title for this song is “2 months after”, signifying that this song was written 2 months after the breakup of the relationship between Björk and Matthew Barney.

Described as “a 10-minute song in which she works up the nerve to throw darts at Barney and release the fluid fury of a woman scorned. It is a Björk diss track” and “Björk’s 10-minute version of Big Sean’s ”I Don’t Fuck With You,“”, Björk commented to Pitchfork:

I was really embarrassed about that song. I can still hardly listen to it.
During an interview for Grapevine.is she clarifies why the song is so long:

It’s like, when you’re trying to express something and you sort of start, but then nothing comes out. You can maybe utter five words and then you’re just stuck in the pain. And the chords in-between, they sort of represent that. […] We called them “the freezes,” these moments between the verses. They’re longer than the verses, actually. It’s just that one emotion when you’re stuck. It is hard, but it’s also the only way to escape the pain, just going back and having another go, trying to make another verse.
A trailer of the music video was uploaded on MoMAvideos on February 13th, 2015.
