The song appeared on their album takk - which means "thank you"
there a lot of topics going on the album about growing, preserving and childhood
You are a fox
you, you - in the air
in the air, yes
in the air
in the air, yes
you glide
oh, oh peace
oh no
oh no, yes
oh no
oh no, yes
A lost seafarer
Alive
Has returned home
A lost seafarer
Alive
Has returned home
a diver comes
I think the lyrics are about the hero's journey,
who travels into the unknown far from home
or into his subconsciousness(the sea)
The Fox could mean Fylgja which is a female supernatural being
in old norse. It is believed that these spirits take the form of animals
like foxes, bears etc. and accompany the newborn as protective spirit
aswell as sealing their fate to the world.
Only when the chosen person dies, they will reveal themself
in their human female form equaling that of the valkyrie
and the human spellbound by their dreadful appearance will die.
The spirit will then step on their grave and set the person
with their love free taking him/her up to valhall.
In the text from sigur ròs the person is alive but a diver,
which is maybe connected to his/her home/inner universe again.
