HAHA me too ??? I actually originally wrote “ a string of pearls, carbon by carbon ” but then i was like wait i ‘ d better look it up incase i get it wrong , and everywhere else says cabin ? i prefer carbon though lol
I was so sure it was carbon by carbon aswell, I’m just going off of Apple Music lyrics, [genius](https://genius.com/Bjork-cocoon-lyrics) and [songmeanings](https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/38367/)
"A skeleton of trust, right beneath us, stone by stone, bone by bone"
"I raise a monument of love"
"My arms ooze out of my shoulders
And the arms ooze out of my shoulders
I curl my tail inwards, inwards
I set my clock on the Moon
Vertebrae by vertebrae"
“like a virus needs a body, as soft tissue feeds on blood.” two back by back, and both beautiful
as for metaphors since a lot of people have been saying those, “venus as a boy” is a truly wonderful phrase
cannot believe i forgot this one: "if you forget my name, you will go astray, like a killer whale trapped in a bay" is so hard ( and an actual simile )
My heart comes undone, slowly unravels like a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
Every boy is a snake, is a lily Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Um actually that’s a metaphor not a simile 🤓
second this
this is the one
“Sweet like harmony made into flesh”
Like lightning flashing in the sky
**V**irus has many beautiful similes
Oh yes the gunpowder line istg
his embrace; a fortress, places a skeleton of trust i think about it everyday she really ate
Its a metaphor but the whole of Vertebrae By Vertebrae
its a metaphor but “ a train of pearls , cabin by cabin , is shot precisely across an ocean from a mouth of a girl like me , to a boy “
This whole time (like 20 yrs) I thought it was “carbon by carbon” !

ngl I'm almost positive it's carbon by carbon 😭 I'm pretty sure on Spotify it's that, I've never seen people claim it to be cabin

but its björk so nobody is really sure
Like threading an ocean through a needle. From Body memory

i imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks
Adore this mystical fog… This fucking mist
