Pagan Poetry Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Human-beef 

Cover art for Pagan Poetry lyrics by Björk

To me it sounded like forbidden love and the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you and maybe someone you're not allowed to love. As a gay person this reminds me a lot of how my love for other men is often frowned upon, almost as if it was forbidden. Sometimes, it does feel like pagan poetry. :)

@Human-beef I think about the same thing everytime I listen to this song. As a gay young man, I know what it feels like to love someone who cannot love you in return because he's straight or feeling like this is all forbidden in some wrong way because of the homophobes that surrounds us.
