Stonemilker Lyrics
A juxtaposition in fate
Find our mutual coordinates
Moments of clarity are so rare
I better document this
Across the view is fears
All that matters is
Who is open-chested
And who has coagulated
Who can share and
Who has shot down the chances?
Show me emotional respect, oh respect, oh respect
And I have emotional needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, oh ooh
What is it that I have
That makes me feel your pain
Like milking a stone
To get you to say it and
Who is open?
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open?
We have emotional needs, oh needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I only wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh
I'll show some emotional respect, oh respect, oh ooh
A juxtaposition in fate
Find our mutual coordinates
Find our mutual coordinates
I better document this
Across the view is fears
All that matters is
And who has coagulated
Who can share and
Who has shot down the chances?
And I have emotional needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, oh ooh
That makes me feel your pain
Like milking a stone
To get you to say it and
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open?
I only wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh
I'll show some emotional respect, oh respect, oh ooh
Find our mutual coordinates

This new album is amazing. I can't stop listening to it. Björk's amazing as always.
It’s about 2 people who care for one another but the communication between them is dysfunctional and they struggle to connect like they once did, and while there are moments where they reconnect and it feels wonderful, they are rare and the one singing has to hold onto these fleeting moments to remain hopeful. It’s becoming less clear if they will remain together, but not to say there’s no chance of the relationship surviving.
Showing clarity when there is troublesome circumstances in a relationship. They might break-up, they might stay together. They just need to work on it. Which one has trouble coming to terms, and who has trouble putting his/her words into logical sentences? They need to find a common space in their relationship.
I don't really think this song is about just romantic relationships, either. This is about friendship, family, or just acquaintances. People lean on each other, some more than others. There is always some kind of unbalance in the way that people interpret a relationship because no one talks real enough to be able to understand each other. Which side is true, which one is false? It's probably a combination of the two.
Everyone on earth looks for respect from every single one of their peers.
