About

There are multiple ways to interpret this song (for example, some would argue that it is about sex) but I’d argue that this song is about the impermanence and relative insignificance of our lives.

The Body Breaks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The body breaks and the body is fine
I'm open to yours and I'm open to mine
The body aches and that ache takes its time
But you'll get over yours and I'll get over mine

[Refrain 1]
And the sun will shine
And the moon will rise up

[Verse 2]
The body calls, yeah the body it calls out
It whispers at first, but it ends with a shout
The body burns, yeah the body burns strong
Until mine is with yours - then mine will burn on

[Refrain 2]
My flesh sings out
It sings: "Come put me out!"

[Verse 3]
The body sways like the wind on a swing
A bridge through a hoop, or a lake through a ring
The body stays, and then the body moves on
And I'd really rather not dwell on when yours will be gone

[Refrain 3]
But within the dark
There is a shine
One tiny spark
That's yours and mine
