| Björk – Lionsong Lyrics | 9 years ago |

I think this song - like most of "Vulnicura" - is a break-up song, as if Björk is expecting a break-up soon after a particularly nasty dispute. The linear notes inside "Vulnicura" lists this as "five months before" the break-up, so I think Björk probably knew that the break-up was coming shortly. Björk sings about how she wishes he could "come out of this", as if she can't believe/comprehend how her partner is acting. It helps foreshadow later in the album, when the break-up has actually happened. That's what I took away, anyway :) |

| Regina Spektor – Tornadoland Lyrics | 9 years ago |

I think this song references someone with severe anxiety or something similar having a "breakdown". The term "tornado" is most likely used to represent their feelings during this emotional state - it's not something you can easily escape, you feel almost like you "have" to endure it. "The mind runs fast/Your thoughts are louder than your words" represent, in my opinion, how someone is overthinking things, to the point where it just becomes worse and worse, exactly as the song becomes harsher and harsher. That's what I took away from it, anyway :) |
