"Play Dead" adalah sebuah lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh Bjork. Lagu ini menceritakan tentang seseorang yang mencoba untuk bertahan hidup di tengah rasa sakit dan kesedihan. Ia mencoba untuk menutup dirinya dari dunia luar dan berpura-pura mati agar rasa sakitnya hilang. Namun, ia menyadari bahwa ini bukanlah solusi yang tepat dan ia harus menghadapi rasa sakitnya dengan cara yang lebih sehat.
Play Dead Lyrics
Bjork
darling stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no-one cares and no-one loves
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear
i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and hurting stops
it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache
i play dead
it stops the hurting
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no-one cares and no-one loves
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear
i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and hurting stops
it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache
i play dead
it stops the hurting
