I can sense it
something important
is about to happen
it's coming up

It takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

We just met
and i know i'm a bit too intimate
but something is coming up
and we're both included

It takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

I don't know my future after this weekend
and i don't want to

It takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

    General Comment:Don't overthink. The song is pretty straight-forward. It's about that wonderful feeling when you first get involved with someone special (i.e. infatuation)

    General Comment:I don't think this is about relationships, I think this song is about some sort of drug use. "It takes courage to enjoy it," and "I don't know my future after this weekend, and I don't want to" make it pretty clear in my opinion.

    General Comment:I think it could also be about Bjork's experience coming to America for the first time, or, more specifically, New York, if the video is supposed to serve as any evidence. It definitely takes courage to enjoy the big city, but at the same time, it's exciting.

    General Comment:This song always reminds me of MDMA. That feeling you get when things are starting to kick in "something important is about to happen, it's coming up" from somewhere deep inside. Also "we just met and i know i'm a bit too intimate" makes me think of all those deep if only brief conections you make with people when under the influence. or is it just me??

    General Comment:To me this song is totally about future events that are about to happen and in order you anyone to get there they really do need to embrace good and evil/light and dark/hard core + gentle to enjoy life. And I think that's what Bjork is all about, all emotions in one. A lot of her songs seem to mean that, to me anyways :)
