#treating Hozier lyrics as a literature class

[welcometotheravenclawcommonroom]

Not to be an emotional bitch at *checks watch* 5:47 am, but like Hozier music fam holy shit. Like years later and it just never gets less powerful. Like you have all these religions allegories of twisting the oppressive demands of the church and turning these metaphors into a representation of love, which is treated as the greatest religion. Laughing and playing on all these images of “original sin” as you worship a lover, and all if this combined with themes of living under and falling to and then protesting against oppression, of imagery of nature as another of the greatest loves, of letting oneself go to the wildness as the sweetest and most exquisite joy but also pain, of the dichotomy of all the best things in life, how any extremity of feeling is scary and can hurt you but is so so worth it, of fighting with ones inner self reflected in fighting against forces outside of oneself… I could go on but I need coffee.
