The Cube Makes Me Wanna (Tricky)

Language: Greek

This is probably one of my top ten favorite songs. I am crazy about this song. I don't really know why. One thing I can point to that I like about it is the structure -- it's kind of weirdly put together. But beyond that, who knows why people like things. I just do.

Which seems like as good a time as any to note that I'm disappointed in the new Bjork album. I like Bjork, rather a lot, which should be obvious. I think "Earth Intruders" is magnificent, and "Innocence" is a rocking good time, but the album as a whole -- I dunno. She lost me somewhere around Homogenic.

On the other hand, the new Tori Amos, American Doll Posse (warning: sound / graphics intensive) is the best in many years. So I suppose these things even out.

Anyway. Behold the video for "She Makes Me Wanna Die:"

The cube makes me wanna
follow Mary, where she does it, and
go worship the things she does.
She says if I change my stride,
then I'll fly.
The cubes wanna change me.
I make my stride of this,
then I fly.
The sun looked in,
mental: "I see myself in the pollution!"
I walk in the moon.
How could you dare?
Who do you think that you are?
You are insignificant!
A piece of smallism,
the least, from no other, no.
The world does try, you'll learn. It does!
(Even the world can't discuss it.)
Smoking hydroponic is ironic, you know.
The cube makes me wanna
change my stride, and you
will fly this. Then I'll
wanna make the cube
follow Mary. Where does
it go to worship? Do the things know?
She says if I change my stride,
then I'll fly,
and change my stride.
Then I'll fly
in the sun's look.
I see myself in the mental pollution,
where I walk in the moon.
How could you dare?
You are insignificant!
A piece of smallism,
the least, from no other, no.
The world tries to learn from you;
even in the world cannot discuss it.
You know.
