about this song
"5 Years" is a song about a woman confronting someone who is denying her of love and affection, challenging them to take a chance on her, but ultimately realizing that they are too afraid to handle love. Björk expresses that she has many things to offer and the person who is denying her will eventually regret their decision, but it will be too late. She is tired of cowardice, of people saying they want love but not being able to handle it. The chorus repeats the message that they "can't handle love"
