Bjork Drawing Restraint9 Lyrics
1.Gratitude

(Vocals:Will Oldham)

July 13, 1946

Dear General MacArthur,

With your permission
I offer wishes of good health
During this heat
That burns anything

The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Recently, fulfilling
Your heart's desire
You removed the whaling
Moratorium.
Your gesture brings
A much needed food
To our community
And families

The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

A million year old fossil
I send to you
This comes from my family
And the ancient sea
A prehistoric impression
Of the modern krill
She feeds the noble whale
And offers you longevity

The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Finally, please take good care in the heat.

Sincerely yours,
Shizuka

9.Holographic Entrypoint

Fune to aruji to seiyô kyakujin,
Umi hito tomo ni, unmei ni nau.
Daikeirin no hitokoma, hitokoma,
Sonno hitokomani subete ari.

Udaru atsusani nebatsuku karada,
Umi kaze suzushiku idakiau.
(...)Katakunaru mo
Shinbu wo nao mo tokete ari.

Fune to aruji to seiyô kyakujin,
(...)Hadaka no umigeshiki.
Daikeirin no hairiguchi,
Bubun wa subete mo utsutsunari.

Hada ni kiri komu kyôkan naifu,
Onna ga otoko wo kiri toreba otoko wa onna wo kaitai suru.
(...) Tokereba,
Kokoro arawaru.

Fune to aruji to seiyô kyakujin
Umi no kurishimi, chi wo tomo nau mo.
Daikeirin no jôkennaruka,
Hitokoma hitokoma ni subete ari.

Chishio no atsuki rikusei kyakujin,
(...)Nankai, ibuki arata ni.
Nankyoku no aruji fune mo hokoraka,
Marebito kujira wo kaeri yuku.


Vessel, host, occidental guests,
Figure and field, both, carrier, carried.
Holographic paradigm,
The whole in every part.

Warm, viscous body, cooling
In marine air embrace.
Curing, skinning over
A still molten core.

Vessel, host, occidental guests,
Skin seascape in suspension.
Holographic entrypoint,
Each part reflects the whole.

Skin slit, consensual knife,
She cuts his figure, he flenses her field.
External resistance freeing,
Internal relation emerging.

Vessel, host, occidental guests,
To pattern, comes blood, giving form.
Holographic condition,
The whole in every part.

Warm blood, terrestrial guests,
Take to the southern sea, breathing.
Antarctic host and vessel, proud,
Cetacean guests returning.


10.Cetacea

Into pattern
Flowing blood
Giving form

In every part
The whole you see

Into pattern
Flowing blood
Giving form

From the moment of commitment, nature conspires to help you
From the moment of commitment, nature conspires to help you
From the moment of commitment, nature conspires to help you

Nature conspires to help you
