What it is
"Isobel" is a 1995 single from Björk's album Post, written by Björk, Nellee Hooper, Marius de Vries and Sjón, who built the lyrics from Björk's story. It tells of Isobel, a figure born in a forest who later lives in a city whose residents she finds too clever, and who sends out moths to nudge people back toward instinct.
