I'm sorry to ... ( 5 months ago by ElvisDumont)

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but she wrote that for two small island that Iceland is now trying to assimilate. this song is political, not individualistic.

No she didn't. If ... ( 5 months ago by iaos)

No she didn't. If you actually LISTEN to Volta and are capable of understanding, you'll know she's singing about how people deny themselves for the group. With Declare Independence she's saying to get out of the group! Don't accept their influence. Don't let them into your mind. Don't speak like them. Don't become a ghost and a zombie.

The only way to ... ( 5 months ago by iaos)

The only way to understand Bjork is to interpret her songs literally & in the first person.

Actually ... ( 3 months ago by tranism)

Actually ElvisDumont is correct. Bjork has said in interviews she wrote this song for an island losing its identity by being forced to join another country.

Declare independence from the group! "We" IS the root of all evil. The ego IS the spirit.

So she supports what Albania did in Kosovo wich is the same as what China did in Tibet, ethnically cleansing the Serbs and taking over Kosovo, sick and hypocrite, Kosovo is for the Serbes as what Tibet is for the Tibetans.
