Sobre el álbum
El álbum Vulnicura es un devastador y valiente viaje al corazón de una ruptura sentimental. Con una honestidad brutal, Björk narra cronológicamente el antes, el durante y el después de la separación de su pareja de muchos años. La música es cruda y expuesta, dominada por arreglos de cuerda que se retuercen de dolor y por los ritmos electrónicos fragmentados y afilados del productor Arca. No hay metáforas que disfracen el sufrimiento; en su lugar, hay una confesión directa y visceral.
La estructura del álbum es clave para su impacto. Las anotaciones de tiempo en cada canción ("9 meses antes", "3 meses después") nos guían a través de este proceso de duelo. "Stonemilker" abre el disco con una súplica de claridad emocional, mientras que la épica "Black Lake" es el abismo de la desesperación. A medida que el álbum avanza, emergen pequeños rayos de luz, sugiriendo un lento y arduo camino hacia la sanación. Vulnicura es una experiencia auditiva intensa que transforma una herida personal en arte universal.

A juxtapositioning fate Find our mutual coordinate Moments of clarity are so rare I better document this At last the view is fierce All that matters is Who is open chested And who has coagulated Who can share and Who has shut down the chances Show me emotional respect Oh respect, oh respect and I have emotional needs Oh needs, ooh ooh I wish to synchronize our feelings Our feelings, oh ooh What is it that I have That makes me feel your pain? Like milking a stone To get you to say it? Who is open? And who has shut up? And if one feels closed How does one stay open? We have emotional needs Oh needs, oh needs, ooh ooh I wish to synchronize our feelings Our feelings, oh ooh Oh, show some emotional respect Oh respect, ohh ooh A juxtapositioning fate Find our mutual coordinate - Lionsong6:08
Letra
Maybe he will come out of this Maybe he won't Somehow I'm not too bothered either way 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 Vietnam Vet comes after the war Lands in my house This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he won't I am not taming the animal Maybe he will come out of this 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 Humour peak Frustration peak Anything peak For clarity Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he won't I am not taming no animal Maybe he will come out of this 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 Maybe he will come out of this Or he will feel solitaire Somehow I'm not too bothered I'd just like to know - History Of Touches3:00
Letra
I wake you up In the middle of the night To express my love for you Stroke your skin and feel you Naked I can feel all of you At the same moment I wake you up In the night feeling This is our last time together Therefore sensing all the moments We've been together Being shared at the same time Every single touch We ever touch each other Every single fuck we had together Is in a wondrous timelapse With us here at this moment The history of touches Every single archive Compressed into a second All with us here as I wake you up - Black Lake10:08
Letra
Our love was my womb But our bond has broken My shield is gone My protection is taken I am one wound My pulsating body Suffering being My heart is enormous lake Black with potion I am blind drowning In this ocean My soul torn apart My spirit is broken Into the fabric of all he is woven You fear my limitless emotions I am bored of your apocalyptic obsessions Did I love you too much? Devotion bent me broken So I rebelled, destroyed The icon I did it for love I honored my feelings You betrayed your own heart Corrupted that organ Family was always our sacred mutual mission Which you abandoned You have nothing to give Your heart is hollow I’m drowned in sorrows No hope in sight of ever recover Eternal pain and horrors I am a glowing shiny rocket Returning home As I enter the atmosphere I burn off layer by layer - Family8:02
Letra
Is there a place where I can pay respects For the death of my family? Show some respect Between the three of us There is the mother and the child Then there is the father and the child But no man and a woman No triangle of love So where do I go to make an offering? I fall on my knees Lay my flowers (burn incense) Light the candles So where do I go to make an offering? Mourn our miraculous triangle Father, mother, child Father, mother, child How will I sing us out of this sorrow? Build a safe bridge for the child Out of this danger Danger! I raise a monument of love There is a swarm of sound Around our heads And we can hear it And we can get healed by it It will relieve us from the pain It will make us apart Of this universe of solutions This place of solutions This location of solutions - Notget6:26
Letra
Once you fell out of love Our love couldn't carry you And I didn't even notice For our love Kept me safe from death You doubted the light And the shelter it can give For in love we are immortal Eternal and safe from death If I regret us I'm denying my soul to grow Don't remove my pain It is my chance to heal We carry the same wound But have different cures Similar injuries But opposite remedies After our love ended Your arms don't carry me Without love I feel the abyss Understand your fear of death I will not forget This notget Will you not regret Having love let go After our love ended Your spirit entered me Now we are the guardians We keep her safe from death Love will keep us safe from death Love will keep all of us safe from death - Atom Dance8:09

Letra
My throat was stuffed My mouth was sewn up Banned from making noise I was not heard Remove this hindrance My throat feels stuck I was not allowed I was not heard There is vocal sadness I was separated From what I can do What I'm capable of Need to break up Vicious habits Do something I haven't done before In vow of silence Explore the negative space Around my mouth It implodes, black hole With jaw fallen in In fallen jaw, jaw fallen in I am not hurt, I am not hurt This tunnel has enabled Thousands of sounds I thank this trunk Noise pipe I have followed a path That took sacrifices Now I sacrifice this scar Can you cut it off? - Quicksand3:45
Letra
Define her abyss Show it respect Then a celestial nest Will grow above When I'm broken I am whole And when I'm whole I'm broken Our mother's philosophy It feels like quicksand And if she sinks I'm going down with her Locate her black lake The steam from this pit Will form a cloud For her to live on When she's broken she is whole And when she's whole she's broken Our mother's philosophy It feels like quicksand And if she sinks I'm going down with her Hackle this darkness Up to the light Where choreographed oxygen Embroiders the air When we're broken we are whole And when we're whole we're broken We are the siblings of the sun Let's step into this beam Everytime you give up You take away our future And my continuity And my daughter's And her daughters And her daughters
