Sacrifice Lyrics

Why can't you give her room?
Respect her spatial needs.
I feel you compress her
Into a small space.

With clairvoyance,
She knew what you needed,
And gave it to you.
Now her desires are repressed;
Arrows in the flesh

When she found your love,
Her nature bowed her head;
She surrendered,
She renounced the world for you,
Now she's poisoned by demands
You cannot answer.

Why this sacrifice?
Now she regrets the whole thing,
A delayed reaction
When she left her craft voluntarily
For your nest, for your love.
Did you understand?

Appreciate,
Build a bridge to her.
Initiate a touch
Before it's too late,
Say the words to her
That will make her shine.

Tell her that you love her.

Your generosity will show
In the volume of her glow

Cover art for Sacrifice lyrics by Björk

This song is a sort of follow-up to "Vertebrae by Vertebrae". Both discusss, in my opinion, the way nature has been abused. But while Vertebrae by Vertebrae talks about how nature is sort of dangerous, Sacrifice is begging the listener to pay attention to nature, to form a bond with it.
