The Modern Things is the 3rd track off Björk’s 1995 sophomore album Post. The choruses and pre-choruses contain lyrics sung in Icelandic, her mother tongue. This song subtly explores the transformation of raw, natural elements into great creations through anthropological intervention. Over-analyzing...
[Verse 1]
All the modern things
Like cars and such
Have always existed
They've just been waiting in a mountain
For the right moment
And listening to the irritating noises
Of dinosaurs and people
Dabbling outside
[Chorus 1]
Engin fylgist alveg
Sólin sekkur
Engin sér við mér
[Post-Chorus 1]
Það er sól þegar
Andar inn í mér
Hann bítur mig
Hann bítur mig
Já, hann kemur með
Fylgir eftir mér
Telur með
Siglir eftir mér
[Verse 2]
All the modern things
Have always existed
They've just been waiting
To come out
And multiply
And take over
It's their turn now
[Chorus 2]
Engin [?]
Engin [?]
[?]
Fylgir eftir mér
[Post-Chorus 2]
Hann bítur mig
Hann bítur mig
[?]
Hann kemur með
Fylgir eftir mér
Telur með
Siglir eftir mér
Kemur með
Fylgir eftir mér
Telur með
