Underneath our feet
Crystals grow like plants
(Listen how they grow)
I'm blinded by the lights
(Listen how they grow)
In the core of the earth
(Listen how they grow)
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
(Crystalline)
Rocks growing slowmo
(Crystalline)
I conquer claustrophobia
(Crystalline)
And demand the light
We mimic the openness
Of the ones we love
Doth til' our generosity equalize(s) the flow
With our hearts
We kiss the quartz
To reach love
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
(Crystalline)
Rocks growing [slowmo?]
(Crystalline)
I conquer claustrophobia
(Crystalline)
And demand the light
Octagon, polygon
Pipes up an organ
Sonic branches
Murmuring drone
Crystallizing galaxies
Spread out like my fingers
Crystalline
Internal Nebula
(Crystalline)
Rocks growing [slowmo?]
(Crystalline)
I conquer claustrophobia
(Crystalline)
And demand the light
Internal Nebula
(Crystalline)
Rocks growing slowmo
(Crystalline)
I conquer claustrophobia
(Crystalline)
And demand the light
It's the sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
Conquer anxiety
Sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
It's the sparkle you become
When you conquer anxiety
The first single from Bjork's seventh album, Biophilia, is an electronic song in which the Icelandic singer compares the process of crystal formation with her own personal growth over a trickle of triangle chimes before concluding with a raucous drum n bass section. It was released as a single on June 30, 2011 accompanied by an iPad app developed exclusively for the tune, which enables the user to build their own song structure as they tap through multi-colored tunnels. The music video was recorded on May 26 and was directed by long-time collaborator Michel Gondry. The video was premiered on July 26, 2011 on YouTube
