The lyrics to "Virus" talk about "dangerous relationships", symbiotic relationships in which one organism is parasite for the other and takes a benefit, even changing the other's behavior. This fact is used as a metaphor between 'love' and 'parasiting'. Björk took inspiration from a McGraw-Hill educative video about mind-controlling parasites and from candidiasis, illness that she suffered: "I'd been fighting this candida issue in my throat and I had to really change my diet and use different medication and it sort of seems to pop up and its kinda hilarious. It’s like I have this new neighbor that I have to sort of learn to live with. And obviously you know this fungus is inside all of us and it’s never about eliminating it. You have to kind of just live with it."
Lyrics: Like a virus needs a body As soft tissue feeds on blood Some day I'll find you, the urge is here Like a mushroom on a tree trunk As the protein transmutates I knock on your skin, and I am in The perfect match, you and me I adapt, contagious You open up, say welcome Like a flame that seeks explosives As gunpowder needs a war I feast inside you, my host is you The perfect match, you and I You fail to resist My crystalline charm Like a virus, patient hunter I'm waiting for you, I'm starving for you My sweet adversary My sweet adversary My sweet adversary
I'm a virus too, but I think this is an act of pure love. The virus knocks at the cell's skin and it lets him coming in , even if it knows that it will be destroyed by that. And I'm sure the virus loves the cell because he is waiting for it and can't survive without it
I used this music and video to help me teach about viruses at school. The kids loved it. Also a big fan of Bjork's work. Biophilia it's going to be a part of my work from now on.
...Common people fear me beacuse they fear the change that i will bring...But resistance is futile...But you are so different as they are...I can feel you...Let me in...and i will teach you things that your ancestors would be never believe...A different kind of love and passion...a world of emotions , instincts , evolution and understanding that your world already forgotten.💋
I think she simbolizes love trought a Virus, taking the fact that a Virus NEEDS a host to survive. So she needs him to survive. And love is kinda like a virus, when you have it you can't think in anything more than that, and you suffer/enjoy until the virus heals, or takes you forever

"like a virus - patient hunter, Im waiting for you, Im starving for you" perhaps the most beautiful i've heard
I love the lyrics to this song.. its hauntingly passionate
Beautiful instrumental + creepy lyrics = Bjork. I just love that. :>
this song gaves me chill.
Aw Poor Little Cell.
A beautiful melody. It reminds me of how I felt when i was with someone.
Lyrics:
Like a virus needs a body
As soft tissue feeds on blood
Some day I'll find you, the urge is here
Like a mushroom on a tree trunk
As the protein transmutates
I knock on your skin, and I am in
The perfect match, you and me
I adapt, contagious
You open up, say welcome
Like a flame that seeks explosives
As gunpowder needs a war
I feast inside you, my host is you
The perfect match, you and I
You fail to resist
My crystalline charm
Like a virus, patient hunter
I'm waiting for you, I'm starving for you
My sweet adversary
My sweet adversary
My sweet adversary
🙏
Corona Virus brought me here.
This song sounds like it should've been on the Vespertine album.
I got sad playing this app, lovely song x
Danced to this way back in December, but it has been my favorite song that I have danced to and I have been dancing for 7 years.
evil? creepy?
this is astounishing
beautiful
majestic
I remember playing this game on her brilliant Biophilia app. It’s possibly a bit soon to share this now.
Those Lyrics Ms. Björk, are just amazing! :O
The perfect match, you and I
I adapt contagious, you open up
say welcome...
This song sealed the beginning. One year later and I'm still starving for you.
I'm a virus too, but I think this is an act of pure love. The virus knocks at the cell's skin and it lets him coming in , even if it knows that it will be destroyed by that. And I'm sure the virus loves the cell because he is waiting for it and can't survive without it
this song is so beautiful, it made me cry.
Charming & beautiful as only Bjork can do..

I think she simbolizes love trought a Virus, taking the fact that a Virus NEEDS a host to survive. So she needs him to survive.
And love is kinda like a virus, when you have it you can't think in anything more than that, and you suffer/enjoy until the virus heals, or takes you forever

This is the official video. Was released with the album. The only way to initially hear the song was by playing this interactive app video game.
