So much loss and sadness. The trinity of the family is broken and Bjork is trying to reconcile the situation but begins to see that she can't fix it, she cannot 'Sing us out of sorrow' like she has always done.
She is suddenly very human, cold and sad.
But then she realises that all she can do is continue to love; her children, her self and her music.
I feel like this song is the turning point on the album where the metaphorical wound of the album begins to heal. It's also the track used on the Moving Album Cover, so it's very possible that it is meant to be the major narrative change of direction on the album.
Such a haunting song...
