"Wanderlust" is a song written by Icelandic artist Bjork and has said that the song is about "the state of looking for something and almost knowing you're never going to find it" and that it makes fun of her hunger for "something new".
From 5:02 onwards, a series of Morse code signals start to repeat in unison with the horns after she sings "Can you spot a pattern?". The code reads out "relentlessly craving wanderlust".

"From memory Björk wanted the morse code for "Wanderlust, relentlessly craving Wanderlust". She was more into the effect of the dots and dashes layering over each other then specifically trying to communicate words in morse code, we just thought it would be a laugh if it actually said something ! The brass rhythms (obviously) aren’t morse, so it was more about combining in with their rhythms and becoming more chaotic and layered. I’m not sure if many or any of the full phrase found their way onto the record, I think what people have rightly noticed is that there are a lot of "Wanderlust"s layered on top of each other".
