i agree that it could be about the love between bjork and her mother, but it does this interesting switch from "i" to "we" that i at first thought was meant to represent each of the dreaming selves that experienced the same recurrent dream, but taking into consideration that the song is called "heirloom" i think noparty is probably closer to the truth. i think that "we" is supposed to be her family tree, and that the recurrent dream is life, and for this "we" voice sleep is death and the mother and son's trapeze walk and baked lights are rebirth. or maybe i'm reading way too far into it. :)
