“Army of Me”
Bjork | 1995
Bjork imagined she was a polar bear with an "army" of 500 ursine comrades destroying a town. "I identify with polar bears," Bjork said. "They're very cuddly and cute and quite calm, but if they meet you they can be very strong." The song isn't literally about bears -- it's "about people who feel sorry for themselves all the time and don't get their s--- together," she explained. "You come to a point with people like that where you've done everything you can do for them, and the only thing that's going to sort them out is themselves."
