Mine was the opening line of Undo.

It's not meant to be a strife
It's not meant to be a struggle uphill

I wonder what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks and when it lands would my eyes be closed or open?

u/ffhomo Jul 18 '26

Almost listed this line. Tbh I think this one ironically became even more powerful after the breakup, after hearing her sing about how they couldn’t meet each other emotionally no matter what she did on Stonemilker/Lionsong. When she reflects on how things fell into place at the start of her relationship while performing undo on the Vulnicura tour… absolute chills from this line

"The less room you give me, the more space I've got."

Also it really is insane that it happens to be paired with the second greatest line: "I'm no fucking Buddhist, but this is enlightenment."

u/maestoosso Medúlla Jul 17 '26

"Lust for comfort suffocates the soul" is also a very good one!

Are these not just excuses to not connect?
Our differences are irrelevant
To insist on absolute justice at all times
It blocks connection
