Possibly Maybe
Björk · Post
Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe.
As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes, sometimes
Possibly maybe probably love,
Possibly maybe probably love
Uncertainty excites me
Baby
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you'll join a cult
Probably maybe, possibly love
Probably maybe, possibly love
possibly
Mon petit vulcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
Admiring your lava
I keep calm
Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love
Electric shocks
I love them
With you dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is it?
Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love
How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned
How can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
Leave me alone
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe.
Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
In remembrance of you
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Possibly Maybe
Released on the 1997 album Post, "Possibly Maybe" stands as a defining track in Björk's evolution toward electronic and ambient textures. The song exemplifies her signature ability to blend organic vocal delivery with synthesized soundscapes, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. Recorded during a period where she moved away from her earlier synth-pop roots, the track features a distinctive, repetitive rhythmic structure that builds tension before dissolving into ethereal chords. Its inclusion on Post marks a significant shift in her discography, showcasing a more mature approach to production and a deeper exploration of emotional vulnerability. The song remains a staple of her catalog, often cited as a prime example of her unique fusion of pop sensibilities with avant-garde experimentation.
