This song's ambiance adds to the downtrodden and brutally honest lyrics. What I gather from this one is a huge tribute to humanity's greed. I think she nails it with certain lines that tell me we have greedy attributes even as children in "Dangling feet from window frame, Will I ever ever reach the floor? More, give me more, give me more." Subtle greed, but yet, it's still present. I think she is saying that as we age we lose our innocence, and acquire a more primal want for whatever it is we want. "if i had a heart i could love you, if i had a voice i would sing. after the night when i wake up, i'll see what tomorrow brings." those lines tell me that humanity is focused so much on the future and expansion of our people that we've forgotten to love ourselves and forgot what true beauty is. "Crushed and filled with all I found, Underneath and inside just to come around. More, give me more, give me more" This line speaks of the moment we as humans get when we retrieve what we've yearned for and the bliss that almost immediately turns into boredom... so we march over that want and onto the next. This helps me imagine a horde of lumberjacks desecrating a forest from an overview.
I love me some Fever Ray... and this is also the intro song for my favorite show Vikings... This song has quickly became one of my favorites, as well as the album.
