I See Who You Are Lyrics

I see who you are
behind the skin and the muscles
I see who you are
and when you'll get older later

I will see the same girl
the same soul
lioness, fireheart
passionate lover

and afterwards
later this century
when you and I have
become corpses

let's celebrate now
all this flesh on our bones
let me push you
up against me
tightly
and enjoy every bit of you

la la la-la la la...

let's celebrate now
all this flesh on our bones
let me push you
up against me
tightly

let's celebrate now
all this flesh on our bones
and enjoy every bit of you

la la la-la la la...

I see who you are

I'd like to think the song is purely situational and could be her daughter in one sense and a her partner. love's love in this song and the interprestation in this song is purely spiritual. listen to the message: enjoy your time here on earth and love all you can.

It's reported that this song is written about her daughter, Isadora- similar to My Juvenile, supposedly about her son Sindri.

This song is so beautiful- you can hear the love in her voice. I cry everytime i hear this song- beats all her others.

No, to all you boys out there, this is not a lesbian song- she loves her daughter. Like that solo acapella section at the end of Pagan Poetry, this is an expression of pure emotion. Bjork has bared her soul, and it's beautiful.

She's talking from the third person. I doubt it's about her daughter because of the whispered 'lover'. She's talking from her lover's POV.

I agree with Soma... that is about her daughter, a very beautiful song about her ....

I don't think the word "lover" stands merely for a boyfriend or girlfriend. In this song for example, I think it's more about the passions the person she's talking about (her daughter). She knows she'll grow up to be passionate over everything she enjoys, she sees her just like a reflection of herself, because the girl was inside her. It's a deep, organic, and spiritual connection brewed by motherly love.

I think like PeaceOfGod this is third person and it isn't talking about her.

She is talking to all us. About the love of a man to a girl.... I think

at first i thought this was about her daughter... but then i saw this:

"let's celebrate now all this flesh on our bones let me push you up against me tightly and enjoy every bit of you"

those lyrics sound very sexual to me.

This can be easily interpreted as a hug.

i agree with dustybreeze...that part sounds a lot like sex

anyhow, this song is so beautiful.. i love the music
