"I have walked this earth and watched people.
I can be sincere and say I like them"
That's actually such a powerful statement. Makes it sound like she's got some misanthropes around her claiming the opposite. You know those "realistic ones" claiming the "truth" about our little rotten human hearts. Misanthropy isn't really about being aware of the facts as much as it's about not giving a damn. The strenght of this statement is that she doesn't have to lie about it. She's neither wrong or naive. She genuinely means what she says, and she's not scared to say it out loud :)
"I do believe in the power of music to change things. I do sometimes feel like I'm the only one left who believes that." -Björk
This song couldn't really be any better an example of that statement there.
Agreed with jesswa ;)
