Atom Dance Lyrics
[Björk]
We are each other’s hemispheres
I am fine tuning my soul
To the universal wavelength
No-one is a lover alone
I propose an atom dance
Our hearts are coral reefs in low tide
Love is the ocean we crave
Restlessly turning around and around
I am dancing towards transformation
Learning by love to open it up
Let this ugly wound breathe
We fear unconditional heart space
Healed by atom dance
[Björk]
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me!
We are each other’s hemispheres
[Björk]
We aim at peeling off dead layers of loveless love
No-one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
Becoming themselves fully
It scares them all
[Björk]
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me!
[Antony Hegarty]
No-one is a lover alone, no-one
Most hearts fear their own home
[Björk & Antony Hegarty]
You are my second hemisphere, hemisphere
The atoms are dancing, dancing
Atoms are laughing at last
At last
We are each other’s hemispheres
To the universal wavelength
No-one is a lover alone
I propose an atom dance
Our hearts are coral reefs in low tide
Love is the ocean we crave
Restlessly turning around and around
I am dancing towards transformation
Learning by love to open it up
Let this ugly wound breathe
We fear unconditional heart space
Healed by atom dance
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me!
We are each other’s hemispheres
We aim at peeling off dead layers of loveless love
No-one is a lover alone
Most hearts fear their own home
Becoming themselves fully
It scares them all
When you feel the flow as primal love
Enter the pain and dance with me!
No-one is a lover alone, no-one
Most hearts fear their own home
You are my second hemisphere, hemisphere
The atoms are dancing, dancing
Atoms are laughing at last
At last

It's overcoming the well of despair and pity that followed Bjork's Breakup. It sounds like waking up and suddenly finding clarity, like of like reaching the edge of the storm and finally seeing blue skies again.
Through the Lyrics, Bjork has broken everything down to the simplest idea of connection and energy, Atoms exchanging energy and moving around. It's as if a little bit of Barny still lives on inside her and her in him. They have accepted their passing and moved on, they have 'peeled off the dead layers of loveless love' and found peace in their own new single life.
Finally they can laugh together.
