Song lyrics

Send "Oceania" ringtones to your cell

One breath away
from Mother Oceania
your nimble feet make prints
in my sand

You have done
good for yourselves
since you left my wet embrace
and crawled ashore

Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl

Sweet like harmony
made into flesh
you dance by my side
children sublime

You show me continents
I see the islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes

Hawks and sparrows
race in my waters
stingrays are floating
across the sky

Little ones
my sons and my daughters
your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why

685 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal bjork isnt strange as such, shes original! this song is really pretty, and the lyrics, in case you didnt understand them, are about us and the world from the oceans point of view- "you have done well for yourselves since you left my wet embrace" very nice indeed

2,312 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Very original. The album which this song can be found, Medulla, contains no instruments, only voices. That. Kicks. Ass.

9,658 posts	In some of her music videos she is naked there was this one where red string came out of her nipples and wrapped her up like a cocoon

2,312 posts	I've seen most, well some, of her videos directed by Michel Gondry (who is a genius) but I haven't seen her nakie. I would like to though. And have vasiline handy. and an empty room.

2,312 posts	Wow, the "Cocoon" video was fuckin weird. She kinda looks like if Marilyn Manson in the "Dope Show" video and I had a baby. If that's possible.

1,324 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal "You show me continents/I see the islands/You count the centuries/I blink my eyes..." Simulatenously alien and earthy. Adroitly revisits the Mother Earth/Ocean origin story. Mesmerizingly ethereal tribal cooing.

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Hi.. Yeah Björk is a bit strange but that is just becuz her mother was always used to let her be who she is she wasn't trying to change her at all when she saw that her child was special..Trust me i know..my mother is her mothers friend..my mum was used to babysit her when she was younger...This song is great!
