Sun In My Mouth Lyrics

I will wade out
Till my thighs are steeped
In burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
And leap into the ripe air
Alive with closed eyes
To dash against darkness

In the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers
Of smooth mastery
With chasteness of sea-girls
Will I complete the mystery
Of my flesh
Will I complete the mystery
Of my flesh
My flesh

Its about her masturbating.

In the sleeping curves of my body I Shall enter fingers Of smooth mastery With chasteness of sea-girls Will I complete the mystery Of my flesh Will I complete the mystery Of my flesh

Or discovering her own body.

oh by the way, only these lines where written by e. e. cummings:

I will wade out Till my thighs are steeped In burning flowers

from then on it was all written by bjork

This song is a great example of poetry in the form having the sun in your pocket.

well- to me- this song suggests that time where you wonder who in the HELL you are- what is your purpose on this earth- where your in the void- maybe at 18 maybe at 30- whatever age it may be most - i would assume - one day decide that they have no clue what they want to be their goal/s in life- I have already come to this point and i am 18 - i am in a void- i also feel that this song states how she wants someone to touch the outer curvey of her body and feel how beautiful she is- where she says "i will take the sun in my mouth" the sun would exit through poors- which would let a person see the inner emotion of your being--------the burning flowers may be people she wants to make see her ---make them REALLY look at her

"With chasteness of sea-girls" is what cummings originally wrote though in the vespertine booklet the line reads:

"With chasteness of seagulls"

An error occured.

this song is obviously about touching herself and discovering her own sexuality and enjoying her own sexuality

I Will Wade Out E. E. Cummings

i will wade out till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes to dash against darkness in the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery with chasteness of sea-girls Will i complete the mystery of my flesh I will rise After a thousand years lipping flowers And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

thank you for posting the whole poem
