This song really works as a plea for peace, which fits with its usage at the Olympics, because Bjork just states that we are all the same to the ocean. It really is a beautiful message that every kind of life, whether it is a snake or a person, is equal. The final lines, "I am why" is a great reminder that we all descended from the ocean. Also the remix with Kelis is fantastic, her verse is really good. The Kelis remix works as a kind of love song between the continents and their mother, the ocean. Their voices are perfect together. It's Kelis' best work since 'Milkshake' at least.
