Islândia, Cicatrizes Geológicas e Música

   A Geologia na Música: será coincidência ser uma artista da Islândia a utilizar as placas tectónicas e a deriva continental nas sua letras?!
   
   Antes de mais, um pouco sobre a Geologia da Islândia (para saber tudo sobre Placas Tectónicas e o porquê da sua importância para o Planeta e para a Vida terrestre, clique):

Topografia do fundo oceânico: a Islândia é cortada pela grande 'cicatriz' do Atlântico, a Crista Médio-Atlântica

Com o movimento divergente das duas placas em que a ilha assenta, é previsível a rutura e a separação

      E agora, a Música:

      Mutual Core, Björk

I shuffle around the tectonic plates in my chest.

You know I gave it all,
Try to match our continents
To change seasonal shift,
To form a mutual core.

As fast as your fingernail grows,
The Atlantic ridge drifts
To counteract distance.

You know I gave it all,
Can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?
Shuffling of columns
To form a mutual core.

This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know I had it in me,
Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn't know you had it in you,
You hid the key to our continuity.
I didn't know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know, you didn't know.

What you resist persists, nuance makes heat
To counteract distance
I know you gave it all,
Offered me harmony if things were done your way.
My Eurasian plate subsumed,
Forming a mutual core

This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know I had it in me,
Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn't know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation
You didn't know I had it in me
This eruption undoes stagnation
You didn't know, you didn't know.
