5 Years Lyrics

Artist: Bjork
Album: Homogenic

You think you're denying me of something
Well I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice
'Til after five years
If you'll live that long
You'll wake up
All loveless

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored with cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love
You can't handle love
You just can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

What's so scary ?
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love,
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you, I dare you
I dare you, I dare you

I think the song is about an immature person who thinks that playing unapproachable is a good way of keeping the other person's interest. Being afraid to show that they care, they will even forget how to love evetually. Ass time passes, thay just "can't handle it". This beautifull song is an alarm call to all of us who has gotten ourself into this kind of trap. It shows that if you'll meet the right person, he or she will be able to help you to get rid of your own fears which are retaining you from living your life fully. "Show me your palms"- open to me.
