If biophilia is in relation to Erich Fromm's work somehow. Then this song may have to do with trancending from the loveless culture and power dynamic systems in place today. Most people emerge from it with ptsd's

Luv this track, especially "best way to start-a-new is to fail miserably; fail at loving and fail at giving; fail at creating a flow then realign the whole and kick into the start hole." It's about hitting rock bottom and having no way to go but up. From what I've read, the album will fare well with listeners.

I couldn't agree with @MaryMaryQuiteContrary more.

It's about having all your energy drained from disappointment and failure, no matter what your circumstances (work, life, relationships) are and learning from them and being reborn.

I feel that this song is about human having to fail, for the humans to understand that we can't trust capitalism. That we need to connect back to mother nature. I think that one day there will be consequences so terrible, that we will have to change the way we think and see things. But as Björk sings, we have to fail and then reborn. Like we have done throughout history.

This is one of my favorite Bjork songs. Bjork is one of my favorite artists, she's amazing.

I think the message of this song is both complex and simple, at the same time. "To risk all is to end all and the beginning of all."

To begin anew, you must be willing to take risks and embrace the possibility of failure. Because by encountering loss and failure and feeing as though you'd lost everything, you just may have actually opened the door for something even better to come through. Or - if you can be happy and content with nothing or little, it's the deepest kind of happiness because it cannot be taken away from you. Sort of like the Tao Te Ching saying - "If you want to be given everything, give everything up."

Great Song!

The actual music of this track is fantastic, and what intially attracted me to it, but I can't lose myself in the fantasy of the lyrics. A lot of people think it's about hitting rock bottom and succeeding anyway, but those are empty words reflecting an economic theory, and they haven't lived them. The actual lyrics talk about being touched by the hands of god, and feeling so peaceful it is as if, as if, all the pain and horror was ok. She says, as if, to emphasise the feeling of peacefulness granted by the gods. She does not say it was actually all ok and necessary, just tha tit feels as if it was. Then she loses herself in the blissfulness of peace, and talks about certainties shes doesn't have. Which is normal for humans to do, but it is only as if the best way forward is to fail. It is only as if the best way is to almost die. It is only as if to risk it all and fall is best. As if, not in actuality. We cannot be making claims of truth about life without considering the whole implications of what we are saying. Slavery, rape, murder, war, domestic violence, torture, terrible losses of all kinds, imagine if all of it was actually ok. Yes, now it doesn't seem so peachy, if you are the one having to live through it.
