So Broken Lyrics

So broken
In pieces
My heart is so broken
I'm puzzling

Here I go
Trying to run ahead of that
Heart break train
Thinking it will never catch up with me.

I'm so broken
heðan-biður-afte-care
So broken
heðan-biður-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm
heðan-biður

** Icelandic part **
Wooh-ahhh-hmm...

I'm trying to land
This aeroplane of ours gracefully
But it seems just destined to crash

I'm so broken
heðan-biður-afte-care
My heart is so broken
heðan-biður-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm

** Icelandic part **

How can, how can
And I sense
All continuity
Has vanished away
At one step at a time now baby
I'm so broken
heðan-liður-afte-care
I'm-m-m-mmm...so broken
heðan-biður-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm

** Icelandic part **

I'm so...
Completely unhealable, baby
Ohhh!!
Ohh-er-him
I'm so broken
Ahh-eða-miður-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm
En-lickel-afte-sjólvar
En-neon-co-cole-ah-ahh
Neo-sasar-ohh
En-mi-sshh...

THis song is fitting to anyone who has been in a relationship that is totally out of control in some way. Either the other person in the relationship is out of control or the situation that the couple is in (thiink Romeo And Juliet's family situation) is out of conrol. No matter what a person tries to gain the control, the relationship is destined to die and leave one or more people feeling "broken' and "totally unhealable" afterwards!

the guitar in this song is beautiful

I love the Krust remix too, sickness. I believe she wrote this after breaking up with Tricky a long time ago. It was also right after a bomb threat or something, and she was going through a lot at the time. Such a lovely song.

Cover art for So Broken lyrics by Björk

"I recorded 'So Broken' that infamous week for me, the week of the bomb. The only way for me to write a song about it was just to take the piss. I wrote it in my house hitting the table singing, 'I'm so broken (in corny, overwrought voice), olé!' I was going to have the sound of washing dishes and three kids screaming; it would be a soap opera. Then I went to the studio in Spain and met the flamenco guitarist who plays on the track and stayed there for six months recording."

It's quite funny to hear people say how beautiful this song is considering it's about the stalker who sent her a letter bomb then shot himself.

Oceania's comment is interesting because when I heard this song, I thought it was a little too dramatic to be serious, for Bjork. Nonetheless I'm happy she did something with it, its very moving and emotive and progressive! (:
