Hozier Lyrics - Tumblr Posts

Wasteland baby! is the most under appreciated of the Hozier albums and truly what an album to be released just before the pandemic what a song to release before the pandemic. During an uncertain time an album about not being alone in a wasteland the way most of the songs are about devotion, to the point of fault, to the point of personal harm, to the point of manipulation, about doing everything to be with this person even when it's detrimental to you both or even when it's a person you've made up in your head, in a year when we couldn’t go out and see each other. Hozier releases an album that puts the yearning for love in the loneliness of the pandemic into words a full year before the pandemic even happened and we don’t even really talk about it and that should be a crime.

True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree

god imagine hearing that in a pandemic and not going insane.

in this essay, I will-

Hozier said this;

And honestly sometimes it’s all that keeps me going

sure is a nice morning to scream.

HANNIBAL | 2013-2015 I let you know me. See me. I gave you a rare gift. But you didn't want it. Didn't I? — Hozier, Unknown/Nth

Wasteland, baby

I’m in love I’m in love with you

do you see the vision

The icy eyes you see me through,

may freeze myself to death.

But I've seen too much of snow,

To know I'll love if I bled.

Oh hun! did someone dig you deep?

And you find yourself hard to recognise?

Tell me about it, because in some sad way,

I can read that story, in your frosty eyes.

Listening to Hozier is all fun and games until he sings "I do not have wings, love, I never will" and suddenly you're ten years old again. Just a ten year old Catholic school girl terrified of hell and desperately trying to be good enough for heaven.
