Lionsong Lyrics
[Intro]
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
[Chorus 1]
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he will come out of this
I smell declarations of solitude
Maybe he will come out of this
[Verse 1]
Vietnam vet comes after the war
Lands in my house
This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair
[Chorus 2]
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
[Verse 2]
Once it was simple
One feeling at a time
It reached its peak then transformed
These abstract complex feelings
I just don't know how to handle them
Should I throw oil on one of these moods
But which one?
The joy peak
Humor peak
Frustration peak
Anything peak
For clarity
[Chorus 2]
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
[Bridge]
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
I refuse, it's a sign of maturity
To be stuck in complexity
I demand all clarity
[Outro]
Maybe he will come out of this
Or he will feel solitaire
Somehow I'm not too bothered
I'd just like to know

Excerpt from a Rolling Stone interview:
I couldn’t speak for three weeks [after undergoing throat surgery]. My daughter and I made notes for each other — it became like a game. But the album was a new beginning. The chorus in ‘Lionsong’ — I was in this forest outside Reykjavík, warming up, opening...
Which part of the song does Death Grips sample on Niggas On The Moon?
The introduction. It seems that Björk gave the band a demo of the song to use, since the vocals are not the exact same as the released song (NOTM was released in 2014, a year before Vulnicura), but the melody essentially is.
The vocals from “I’m not too bothered either way” can be easily identified...
