Mutual Core Lyrics

Cover art for Mutual Core lyrics by Björk

Bjork is a peace loving being, but conflict is inevitable in life. To me this song sounds like someone who is trying to make peace with an opposing force. It could be romantic, it could be political, it could be mans attempt to sync with nature or god. The point is the the singer is exhausting herself to find some common ground and establish a harmonious relationship. When she sings about eruption it sounds to me like her peaceful efforts have failed and finally she has an outburst of pent up frustrations, much to the surprise of her opponent.
