This song is what the title says, domestic. It tells a short, very personal story about a seemingly pointless endevour; Björk's search for her keys. There are two important parts as to why this song is so beautiful.
A: The questions that this song poses. Where is Björk going, what is so important that she would be late. The scene you create in your head is magical.
B: The philosophical idea that "Wow, we are all so worried about this and that and we never sit down and think about the beauty in the little things." This song is about grounding ourselves, but at the same time, keeping our heads in the clouds. This message is inherent simply because Björk chose to write a song about about the seemingly mundane task of searching for your keys.
