It seems like very few people are realizing what this song is actually about ! 🙏 If you look at the photo on the screen, it says "dear wormwood" which is a reference to a wonderful video game by Toby Fox called Undertale (2015), which is a telling of a human who falls underground ⬇into a world of monsters, and makes various decisions which affect the nature of their world. The whole song is talking about the various routes and makes references to the original game; the Soldier 🔪is the human as in the No Mercy route - "tearing down" the Underground and the monsters that live peacefully within. The Poet ❤ is the human in the Pacifist and Neutral routes - finding unusual and peaceful ways to sway the monsters (with their words, perhaps ! ). The King 👑is Asriel, the God of Hyperdeath, who becomes ensnared in the form of Flowey ("brow laid in thorn") after his ashes scatter the garden upon his death. Undertale (2015) by Toby Fox is fundamentally about the different faces we wear based on our decisions 😇! We are ALL the Soldier, the Poet, and the King - that is, we carry the potential to be 🙌🙌🙌 Blessings be :3
okay, but more famously Wormwood is the devil in the Screwtape Letters ( by C.S. Lewis) to whom Screwtape is writing. Also, how do you know the reference is specifically to Undertale? Did they artists say so somewhere?

I feel like a young common kid walking around singing this song as a respect for how my hometown was created. A king, a soldier, and a poet had created a kingdom which is most known for its peace, purity, and wealth.
The song is referencing the Apocalypsis of the Return of Jesus. It’s God coming to Earth to lay waste to Babylon, the anti-Christ, and the kings of the Earth that will follow him. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
yeah its aggressive like that because its referring to the 2nd coming of God but it sounds happy im assuming because at that time all of God's people will be saved
@@theebagmans It's a pretty bitter sweet prophesy lol. The lyrics are pretty grim when you consider the implications, but it's overall a message of liberation.
I think it’s interesting that the verse abt the ruler (which is talking abt when Jesus had a thorn crown and was being taunted by Roman soldiers) is the most upbeat verse
I didn't even realize this was a jesus song! I was taking the metaphors at face value thinking it was like a Decemberists song and trying to tell me a literal folktale.
Idk why but I could see this in a similar setting to the dancing scene in Repunzel. Multiple different people play different instrument while others dance around and join in singing.
Anyone feel the urge to create a fantasy universe surrounding the Oh hellos entire discography and the main characters are a soldier, a poet and a king?
It feels like a bardic shanty: the kind of song that you could add to as much as you need to while traveling. And the folk inspirations makes it attract dnd nerds like flies to honey
People: have many interpretation ranging from abuse, life etc. and use this song in animation memes for fandoms The song: "Excuse me, would you mind talking about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?"
@@angiejesusforlife3179 Think about it. Jesus wore a crown of thorns on his brow. Joshua tore down Jericho, and Jesus was referred to as "Son of David" because he was supposedly related to King David
this song makes me feel so much at peace. like i could just lay in a field and do whatever i wanted. this song makes me think of a peaceful cottage in the woods. god it’s so beautiful.
Same. I've never been the type to be all happy and smile 24/7 but this song truly makes me happy for some reason to where I can smile. It's a good comfort song to me 💜
@@willowheart6590 Yeah but that's their fault. That's like not liking a song because the person made it for their religion, race, or gender. Doesn't mean that you don't spread what it actually is about
I can imagine an old folk dance that was lost for decades suddenly appearing again, the people laughing and dancing and having a great time to the music. And the background is a fairycore aesthetic.
Well this song as well as the album are made with Christian references. The album title itself, Dear Wormwood, is a reference to The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, a heavily Christian book and author (for reference this is the same man who made Narnia with a Jesus lion). Now for this song specifically, it is talking about the Messiah. "They will tear your city down" is showing how the Jewish believed the Messiah would come and conquer the Romans, and I believe also referencing how Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple. For the poet line, it is talking about how he will use the Word of God. And the king line, it is talking about how he will come to rule the Earth. These also work for Christian interpretations of Jesus. At least this is what I understood from it. Hope I helped a bit!
"tear your city down" can also be read as freeing and cathartic - tearing down something intricate and complex that has taken a long time to build up, but is in the heart of it filthy, corrupt, and keeping its citizens trapped within its walls. the parallels of this to that of an abusive relationship works really well here - with jesus as the saviour who is metaphorically "tearing the city down"
When I look at the comments some say the song has Christian references, but I really believed it with the line, " there will come a ruler who's brow is laid with thorn" referencing Jesus' crown of thorns
I have always imagined this song as a lullaby a Scottish queen would sing to her young children. And the background singers and the accompaniment was all imagined by the children
This song reminds me of me when I was small I lived in Ireland in a small county in the country side with my da and me and my siblings would jump on hay bales and sleep on horses it was so fun
Might be me- but it feels like internally observing. You’ll be a soldier (young and strong) you’ll be a poet (learn your words and feelings) and with both you become a king.
This is the most D&D-esque song I’ve ever heard. I can just imagine a party of a barbarian, a bard, and a noble ranger coming together to defeat a dragon.
Yesss! The start sounds like everyone introducing their characters and starting the campaign and the end sounds like the campaign ending in one finale battle while they all reminisce on the memories they've created together :0
It seems like very few people are realizing this song is about Jesus! If you look that the photo on the screen, it says “dear wormwood” which is a reference to a Christian book by C.S Lewis called the ScrewTape Letters, which is a telling of letters sent between two demons trying to convert a Christian into an athiest. The whole song is talking about Jesus and makes references to the Bible; The King is Jesus-Oil like David’s Boy, brown is lain in Thorn (crown of thorn), the poet is probably speaking of the main authors of the Bible, and the soldier is Jesus destroying sin!
@@crystalkirlia4553 the soldier is the Holy Spirit, poet is Jesus, and ruler is god, ‘brown is laid in thorns’ is the crown of thorns and ‘smeared in oil like David’s boy’ means getting anointed!
Maybe like a second verse: Alas, we see the soldier With his mighty sword and shield He will tear your city down Oh lei oh lye oh lord Oh lei, oh lye! Oh lei, oh lord He will tear your city down Oh lei oh lye oh lord Behind him, stands the poet A book of pain he holds He will slay you with his words Oh lei oh lye oh lord Oh lei, oh lye oh lei, oh lord He will slay you with his words Oh lei oh lye oh lord The army of the ruler Fighting at first hand Smeared in oil like David’s boy Oh lei oh lye oh lord Oh lei, oh lye! Oh lei, oh lord Smeared in oil like David’s boy Oh lei, oh lye, oh lord edit: Guys,,, I'm reading these replies...I'm so honored. this is like a little thing I threw together in a minute or two, and you guys are happy with it, and i'm SOOO GRATEFUL!!!!
@@miracaaahalane i don't see why you're honored, i'm mediocre at singing, i just think it'll be fun to include some more lyrics, but i'm glad you're honored
Today is my First time hearing the song. Randomly found it on Spotify and it makes me feel a certain type of happiness no other song can. This is genuinely a gift
This gives me a camp vibe, like if I’m at a camp and we are all sitting by a camp fire and all of us are singing and dancing to this exact song every day
I think this song represents Saul, David and Solomon. Though both David and Saul were soldiers and all three were kings (one at a time). It's a really neat song!
Currently on my first ever trip to Ireland after high-school with my best friend, and this song came on at the best moment ever and I live it so much. Thank you so much for this amazing song
I feel like I'm in a magical world with all my friends and we are bards and were singing this after we had gotten attacked by bandits or pirates and were all slowly dying on by one while singing this together for our last moment
It was already confirmed that this song is about the second coming of Jesus Christ. "There will come a soldier Who carries a mighty sword He will tear your city down" "Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:15-16) "There will come a poet Whose weapon is His word He will slay you with His tongue" "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12) "There will come a ruler Whose brow is laid in thorn Smeared with oil like David's boy" "And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” (Matthew 27:29) "Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses." (Revelation 19:11-14)
This song makes me feel like I'm on a long recovery journey and I've come so far with all my friends, and we're happy in the moment, even if there's still so far to go.
So I’ve read interpretations and stuff and this song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. But the soldier is someone who breaks us down in life. They tear us down intentionally due to their own ignorance. The poet is amazing with words but he’s the person in life who you think so highly that one word of negativity from them hurts because you know they are wise. The ruler is set in his own ways and you can’t change it. Things in life we need but don’t always want that can hurt us, is something I got from this
Actually, this song is addressed to Wormwood (I’ll explain later). The soldier is coming to tear down Wormwood’s city and free the people trapped there. The poet will use His truth to dismantle Wormwood’s lies. The King will rule righteously in Wormwood’s place, and the singer is excited because they know that He will be a good King. The entire album is addressed to Wormwood, actually. It’s a reference to The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. Wormwood is essentially a metaphor for sin and temptation. The Soldier, Poet, and King are actually the same person- Jesus Christ. This song is about the prophecy of His second coming. The Oh Hellos are a Christian folk music band.
This song gives me a feeling I didn’t know existed. A combination of happiness, pride, memories that didn’t happen, friendship and self-love, that’s the feeling. I need this song, I need to listen to it when I’m sad, its- too good
While this definitely isn’t the real meaning behind this amazing song, I’m going to say what I think it’s about anyways. In my mind, the soldier, poet, and king are all different ways to solve problems. Each one is successful in the end (“he will tear your city down”) but they each have their own method. The soldier is like facing a problem head on, taking it down by pure force alone. You don’t need to think your way through, you can just charge to the finish line. His “mighty sword” is like brute strength and perseverance. The poet is the crafty way, the one who finds a way to the end in an unexpected way. “He will slay you with his tongue” is like reading between the lines and interpreting the challenge in a unique way. The king is like solving a problem the way you’re supposed to. This verse has a lot of Christian references (“whose brow is laid in thorn” “David’s boy”) so it’s like following the just, honest, truthful route. This is just what I think when I hear this work of art. It’s such a good song!
@@fantastic_fern9135 You ever heard of the term "the death of the author" pretty much an idea that after an author creates something, it is up to the audience to decide its meaning for themselves
@@darkithnamgedrf9495 I wasn't aware the author died and I've never heard of that, but I don't think it applies when the meaning is obviously and the author stated the meaning
Heard somewhere the album is about escaping abuse, which makes sense. So I’m going off that: the soldier poet and long are all forms of domestic abuse. The soldier is physical The poet is verbal The king is financial/decision making
Umm... so, I'm not even kidding, this song is literally about Jesus. This album was made in reference to an essay or novel that C.S. Lewis (the author of The Chronicles of Narnia) wrote, called The Screwtape Letters. Which were, from what I understand, a series of letters written by the senior Demon Screwtape, to a younger junior Demon Wormwood, in which Screwtape would give advice and guidance to his younger protege on how to tempt and corrupt humanity (specifically one man, referred to only as "the patient" in the letters). This album is essentially The Oh Hellos take on what the Patient would write to Wormwood. This is why so many people think the album is about getting out of abusive relationships, because in a sense, it is. We as humans love Sin. We let it control us, at times we give it almost all we have, hoping for it to give back in return in the form of pleasure, power, satisfaction, ect... But Sin is a deceitful, manipulative, and abusive lover, who in reality cares nothing for you. But it knows all the tricks to keep you coming back. Guilt, lies, immediate pleasure, shame, isolation, uncertainty, anxiety. Just like an abusive relationship, Sin uses our emotions against us like a weapon. And just like an abusive relationship, usually the only ways out of it, are if you take a leap of faith, or if _Someone_ steps in to help.
This is my comfort song I close my eyes and imagine myself in a village everyone with cottage code style singing this exact song in harmony together it’s sorta like an escape
Yes, you're right. The song "Dear Wormwood" makes this especially clear, as the song itself is written as though from a temptee (idk if that's even a word) to a tempter.

@@SlaveofAdonai I- no but I guess it sort of fits
@@will-kyon1067 Oh… This song was originally for Jesus, so I wasn’t sure…
The song is referencing the Apocalypsis of the Return of Jesus. It’s God coming to Earth to lay waste to Babylon, the anti-Christ, and the kings of the Earth that will follow him.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Song: "He will tear your city down. . ."
Everyone: *VIBING*
ikr, this song is so aggressive and threatening, like literally threatening. Great vibes though
yeah its aggressive like that because its referring to the 2nd coming of God
but it sounds happy im assuming because at that time all of God's people will be saved
@@theebagmans It's a pretty bitter sweet prophesy lol. The lyrics are pretty grim when you consider the implications, but it's overall a message of liberation.
He will only tear your city down if your city is not built upon the foundation of God, is what is meant there
@@sincerecinnamon Honestly, every place is corrupt. I imagine every city is getting dismantled lol.
I think it’s interesting that the verse abt the ruler (which is talking abt when Jesus had a thorn crown and was being taunted by Roman soldiers) is the most upbeat verse
Probably because it is seen as a joy. He died and went through that so we could be forgiven, so we rejoice at the thought
i'm atheist but honestly this is such a vibe-
It really is you almost forget that it's about god

Gen Z finding this song when me and the lads sang this all through college in 1033 is weird
This is literally the anne with an e aesthetic
Why does the lyric contains "they will tear your city down"? It sounds ominous and scary behind this cheery song.
Well this song as well as the album are made with Christian references. The album title itself, Dear Wormwood, is a reference to The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, a heavily Christian book and author (for reference this is the same man who made Narnia with a Jesus lion). Now for this song specifically, it is talking about the Messiah. "They will tear your city down" is showing how the Jewish believed the Messiah would come and conquer the Romans, and I believe also referencing how Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple. For the poet line, it is talking about how he will use the Word of God. And the king line, it is talking about how he will come to rule the Earth. These also work for Christian interpretations of Jesus.
At least this is what I understood from it. Hope I helped a bit!
Its He will tear your city down, Like. if they're bad
I believe it is because of the fact that soldiers in ancient times were frequently used to raid and siege other cities.
"tear your city down" can also be read as freeing and cathartic - tearing down something intricate and complex that has taken a long time to build up, but is in the heart of it filthy, corrupt, and keeping its citizens trapped within its walls. the parallels of this to that of an abusive relationship works really well here - with jesus as the saviour who is metaphorically "tearing the city down"
@@GabZonY I had not thought of it that way, even though I knew the album's theme. That's really good.
When I look at the comments some say the song has Christian references, but I really believed it with the line, " there will come a ruler who's brow is laid with thorn" referencing Jesus' crown of thorns
That deep
So?
Look up The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis. This whole album will make a lot more sense
The thing that really convinved me was the album name. Its addressed to wormwood, after all.
Yup, also the direct reference to David of the Old Testament
I have been listening to this my whole life

Might be me- but it feels like internally observing. You’ll be a soldier (young and strong) you’ll be a poet (learn your words and feelings) and with both you become a king.

Glad this songs is getting the recognition it deserves. Six year ago I would never imagine people would be so into this song.
It seems like very few people are realizing this song is about Jesus! If you look that the photo on the screen, it says “dear wormwood” which is a reference to a Christian book by C.S Lewis called the ScrewTape Letters, which is a telling of letters sent between two demons trying to convert a Christian into an athiest. The whole song is talking about Jesus and makes references to the Bible; The King is Jesus-Oil like David’s Boy, brown is lain in Thorn (crown of thorn), the poet is probably speaking of the main authors of the Bible, and the soldier is Jesus destroying sin!
Nah, not rly.
@@crystalkirlia4553I dunno, the evidence does line up.

Maybe like a second verse:
Alas, we see the soldier
With his mighty sword and shield
He will tear your city down
Oh lei oh lye oh lord
Oh lei, oh lye! Oh lei, oh lord
He will tear your city down
Oh lei oh lye oh lord
Behind him, stands the poet
A book of pain he holds
He will slay you with his words
Oh lei oh lye oh lord
Oh lei, oh lye oh lei, oh lord

It was already confirmed that this song is about the second coming of Jesus Christ.
"There will come a soldier
Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down"
"Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:15-16)
"There will come a poet
Whose weapon is His word
He will slay you with His tongue"
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
"There will come a ruler
Whose brow is laid in thorn
Smeared with oil like David's boy"
"And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” (Matthew 27:29)
"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses." (Revelation 19:11-14)

This song makes me feel like I'm on a long recovery journey and I've come so far with all my friends, and we're happy in the moment, even if there's still so far to go.
So I’ve read interpretations and stuff and this song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. But the soldier is someone who breaks us down in life. They tear us down intentionally due to their own ignorance. The poet is amazing with words but he’s the person in life who you think so highly that one word of negativity from them hurts because you know they are wise. The ruler is set in his own ways and you can’t change it. Things in life we need but don’t always want that can hurt us, is something I got from this
This song is from the bible and it is about the end of the world and jesus coming to destroy all evil. Read revlation in the bible.
Actually, this song is addressed to Wormwood (I’ll explain later). The soldier is coming to tear down Wormwood’s city and free the people trapped there. The poet will use His truth to dismantle Wormwood’s lies. The King will rule righteously in Wormwood’s place, and the singer is excited because they know that He will be a good King. The entire album is addressed to Wormwood, actually. It’s a reference to The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. Wormwood is essentially a metaphor for sin and temptation. The Soldier, Poet, and King are actually the same person- Jesus Christ. This song is about the prophecy of His second coming. The Oh Hellos are a Christian folk music band.

While this definitely isn’t the real meaning behind this amazing song, I’m going to say what I think it’s about anyways.
In my mind, the soldier, poet, and king are all different ways to solve problems. Each one is successful in the end (“he will tear your city down”) but they each have their own method.
The soldier is like facing a problem head on, taking it down by pure force alone. You don’t need to think your way through, you can just charge to the finish line. His “mighty sword” is like brute strength and perseverance.
The poet is the crafty way, the one who finds a way to the end in an unexpected way. “He will slay you with his tongue” is like reading between the lines and interpreting the challenge in a unique way.
The king is like solving a problem the way you’re supposed to. This verse has a lot of Christian references (“whose brow is laid in thorn” “David’s boy”) so it’s like following the just, honest, truthful route.
This is just what I think when I hear this work of art. It’s such a good song!

Heard somewhere the album is about escaping abuse, which makes sense. So I’m going off that: the soldier poet and long are all forms of domestic abuse.
The soldier is physical
The poet is verbal
The king is financial/decision making
Singady l holy shit that makes so much sense
That makes alot of sense-
Ah yes,
The “Long” abuse
Umm... so, I'm not even kidding, this song is literally about Jesus. This album was made in reference to an essay or novel that C.S. Lewis (the author of The Chronicles of Narnia) wrote, called The Screwtape Letters. Which were, from what I understand, a series of letters written by the senior Demon Screwtape, to a younger junior Demon Wormwood, in which Screwtape would give advice and guidance to his younger protege on how to tempt and corrupt humanity (specifically one man, referred to only as "the patient" in the letters). This album is essentially The Oh Hellos take on what the Patient would write to Wormwood. This is why so many people think the album is about getting out of abusive relationships, because in a sense, it is. We as humans love Sin. We let it control us, at times we give it almost all we have, hoping for it to give back in return in the form of pleasure, power, satisfaction, ect... But Sin is a deceitful, manipulative, and abusive lover, who in reality cares nothing for you. But it knows all the tricks to keep you coming back. Guilt, lies, immediate pleasure, shame, isolation, uncertainty, anxiety. Just like an abusive relationship, Sin uses our emotions against us like a weapon. And just like an abusive relationship, usually the only ways out of it, are if you take a leap of faith, or if _Someone_ steps in to help.

Yes, you're right. The song "Dear Wormwood" makes this especially clear, as the song itself is written as though from a temptee (idk if that's even a word) to a tempter.
It’s based off of the book of revelation in the Bible
