ancestress (strings version) - björk lyrics
[verse 1: björk]
my skull is my cathedral
where this matrimort takes place
when i was a girl, she sang for me
in falsetto lullabies with sincerity
i thank her for her integrity
[chorus 1: björk, björk & sindri eldon]
my ancestress’ clock is ticking
her once vibrant rebellion is fading
i am her hope*keeper
assure hope is there
at, at all times
[verse 2: björk]
my ancestress has left all manners
her pulsating skin rebelling
the doctors she despised
placed a pacemaker insidе her
[chorus 2: björk & sindri eldon]
when you’re out of timе
oh, how you look back changes
did you punish us for leaving?
are you sure we hurt you?
was it just not “living”?
[verse 3: björk]
she had idiosyncratic sense of rhythm
dyslexia, the ultimate freeform
she invents words and adds syllables
hand*writing, language all her own
[chorus 3: björk & sindri eldon]
i don’t have that story in my mouth
when you die, you bring with you what you’ve given
[verse 4: björk]
the machine of her breathed all night
while she rested
revealed her resilience
and then it, it didn’t
[chorus 4: björk & sindri eldon]
you see with your own eyes
but hear with your mother’s
there’s fear of being absorbed
by the other
[verse 5: björk]
by now, we share the same flesh
as much as i tried to escape it
this is no mediocre debris
my ancestress this is
[chorus 5: björk & sindri eldon]
the odour of our final parting
those have been
the perfumes of separation
for centuries
the perfumes of separation
for centuries
ancestress
[verse 6: björk]
nature wrote this psalm
it expands this realm
translucent skin let go of
a cold palm embalmed
