For me this song always spoke to me liek shes singing on the edge of suicide. And all the different voices are her concious(sp?). "shake us out of the heavy deep sleep" suggests that her feelings are cramped up and she needs to let them go, or kill herself. Imo. at least.
amazing song...not enough comments
The part where she actually starts singing, what does she say? Its killing me!
I never understood what this song could mean until I read what Bjork's reasoning behind it. She said it's about the part of her that writes song, the "submarine" part of her. "Do it now!" is her telling herself to write the song now, or forever lose it. Inspiration is fleeting.
This song is so lovely. One of my favorites from Medulla. Sometimes I just go through these periods of life where I feel so lethargic. I think this song is about slipping in and out of life.
The side of the speaker that writes has been asleep for a while, and she wonders when she should start writing again. The answer is, of course, "do it now!"
