"Atopos" lyrics

"Atopos"
(feat. Kasimyn)

Are these not just excuses to not connect?
Our differences are irrelevant
To only name the flaws
Are excuses to not connect

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

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

Are these not just excuses to not connect?
Our differences are irrelevant
To insist on absolute justice at all times
It blocks connection

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" is the lead single from Björk's tenth studio album, "Fossora". The song was premiered on September 6, 2022. "The lyrics are inspired by what Roland Barthes described as the unclassifiable OTHER 'our differences are irrelevant our union is stronger than us'," she shared on Twitter that day.
Björk told to The Guardian about the meaning behind "Atopos", "Sometimes, when I really love someone, I will have an interrogation lyric and it's disguised as my doubts, because I want to be nice – but it's actually their doubts."
