Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
I cannot live peacefully
Without you for even a moment
I miss you terribly when you're away
He's away, this ain't right
I'm alone, I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world to follow my heart
How come out of all the people in the world
Only one can make me complete
One word, one word on the phone makes me happy
One touch, with one touch directly makes me ecstatic
He's away, this ain't right
I'm alone, I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world to follow my heart
Without you for even a moment
I miss you terribly when you're away
He's away, this ain't right
I'm alone, I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world to follow my heart
How come out of all the people in the world
Only one can make me complete
One word, one word on the phone makes me happy
One touch, with one touch directly makes me ecstatic
He's away, this ain't right
I'm alone, I'm taking an aeroplane
Across the world to follow my heart

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I could cry just reading this. This is how I feel day in and day out. I miss my love.. life can be cruel, you find perfection and it lives 2500 miles away.
This song can only be understood by those who have been in love and seperated from those they love!
So, I will understand this song.
i love this song
I love how it sounds like she's in a swamp in the middle of the jungle surrounded by fireflies and lanterns hanging from trees with a low moon in the sky and a fancy boat drifting by. (At least that's what I picture when I listen to this.)
It's such an atmospheric song. The end bits with the party type music fading out reminds me of a street in Italy or Mexico something. Almost like the entire song was her traveling out of the jungle and into the city.
' Almost like the entire song was her traveling out of the jungle and into the city. ' That's incredibly creative of bjork.
The speaker can't bear to be separated from her lover, so she takes an airplane to be with him.
