“Atopos” is the lead single from Björk’s 10th album Fossora. The title comes from the Greek word “ἄτοπος” meaning “unusual” or “out of place”, relating to the song’s themes of disconnection and the angular beats and bass clarinets forming a sonic labyrinth throughout. The name also coincidentally be...
Atopos Lyrics
[Chorus]
Are these not just excuses to not connect?
Our differences are irrelevant
To only name the flaws
Are excuses to not connect
[Verse 1]
I bow to all that you've given me
Thank you for staying while we learn
To find our resonance where we do connect
To find our resonance where we do connect
[Verse 2]
If we don't grow outwards towards love
We'll implode inwards towards destruction
If my plant doesn't reach towards you
There's internal erosion towards all
Pursuing the light too hard is a form of hiding
[Chorus]
Are these not just excuses to not connect?
Our differences are irrelevant
To insist on absolute justice at all times
It blocks connection
[Outro]
Our union is stronger, our union is stronger than us
Hope is a muscle
That allows us to connect
Hope is a muscle
Hope is a muscle
Hope is a muscle
Hope is a muscle
That allows us to connect
Atopos Q&A
Who produced Atopos's ?
Atopos was produced by Björk.
What did Björk say about "Atopos"?
for me it is a good intro …. kinda like an id sound card
sonically this is a heavy bottom-ended bass world
we have 6 bass clarinets and punchy sub drilling,
nesting and digging us into the ground
we all just went through an unique moment together,
where we quarantined and stayed long enough in one...
What did Björk say about what influenced the sound of "Atopos"?
During the pandemic I listened to a lot of Afrobeat coming from Central and East Africa. You know: Nigeria, Uganda… So, for the base of “Atopos” I programmed the base of Afrobeat myself and later we polished it in a session I had in Barcelona. But, if we think about it, it is not unreasonable to say...
