So Broken
Björk · (Single Extras)
So broken,
In pieces,
My heart is so broken,
I'm puzzling.
Here I go
Trying to run ahead of that,
Heart break train,
Thinking,
It will never catch up with me.
I'm so broken,
heđan-biđur-afte-care,
So broken,
heđan-biđur-afte-care,
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm,
heđan-biđur,
** Icelandic part **
Wooh-ahhh-hmm...
I'm trying to land,
This aeroplane of ours gracefully,
But it seems just destined to crash,
I'm so broken,
heđan-biđur-afte-care,
My heart is so broken,
heđan-biđur-afte-care,
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm,
** Icelandic part **
How can, how can,
And I sense (?)
All continuity
Has vanished away
At one step at a time now baby
I'm so broken
heđan-liđur-afte-care
I'm-m-m-mmm...so broken
heđan-biđur-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm
** Icelandic part **
I'm so...
Completely unhealable, baby
Ohhh!!
Ohh-er-him
I'm so broken
Ahh-eđa-miđur-afte-care
Yeah, ha-ee, ha-ee, ha-mmm
En-lickel-afte-sjólvar
En-neon-co-cole-ah-ahh
Neo-sasar-ohh
En-mi-sshh...

So Broken
Björk's 'So Broken' stands as a haunting centerpiece on her 2001 compilation 'Single Extras,' capturing the raw emotional vulnerability that defines her later work. Released during a period where she moved away from the polished production of her debut era toward a more textured, atmospheric sound, the track exemplifies her signature blend of electronic experimentation and intimate vocal delivery. The song reflects themes of fragility and resilience, characteristic of her discography from the early 2000s onward. It serves as a testament to her ability to transform personal sentiment into universal sonic landscapes, influencing countless artists who followed in her wake.
