    The fact that he sees Eden as a prison and that Adam was freed from Eden through love for Eve. That love was the first sin, not disobedience, because what Adam and Eve did together (making love) cast them out . “Be like the love that discovered the sin. That freed the first man...” What an idea. This is so underrated

      TogetherAtLast wasn’t gaining knowledge of good and evil from the fruit the first sin? I thought God cast them out because they disobeyed him in eating the fruit? What religion do you believe in, I’m wondering if our bibles might have told it slightly different? I’m catholic (not against LGBTQ at all)

      @@steviethompson2065 It's a different interpretation of Genesis. Original sin was eating the fruit; the Bible never specifies why Adam ate the fruit after Eve, but John Milton's Paradise Lost says it was because he knew she would be thrown out for her sin and could not bear to remain in paradise without her, thus eating the fruit to join her in being evicted.

      there's actually a lot of speculation if "eating the fruit" was actually eating the fruit. some people say it was, but my old religion teacher (i used to go to a Christian school) said that "eating the fruit" ould have been a nicer way to say "had sex with" and lucifer gave eve the "fruit" and then eve gave adam "the fruit" so really it could be in reference to that theory. I'm not saying it's absolute, but itis an idea to think about, right?

      CrazyGirls It’s about Trump. Here’s how Genius explained: “Hozier is referencing to US President Trump here, criticizing him and slickly saying that when or if Trump is reincarnated and comes back to Earth and is born as an immigrant that he might be on a ship of refugees rejected in the same kind of treatment he’s displayed towards others. An ironic twist of fate.”

      First of all, sorry to be that person, but it wasn't the Grimm Brothers, it was an Italian writer that coined that one first (it's called the She-bear, it's wild).
      Second, I come as a herald of our forest lord's current events, he's working on a new album already! He had a few songs that didn't make it on Wasteland, Baby! and I'm optimistic that we might have even more music to interpretively dance to in our respective local wildernesses soon.

    Be by Hozier (official lyrics)
    When the worst we fear lets fall its weight
    When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
    When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
    When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
    When the birds are heard again in their singing
    Once atrocity is hoarse from voicing shame
    When the earth is trembling on some new beginning
    With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came
    Be
    Be as you've always been
    Be like the love that discovered the sin
    That freed the first man
    And will do so again
    And lover be good to me
    Be the hopeful feeling when Eden was lost
    And has been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed
    Which side of the wall
    Really suffers that cost
    Lover be good to me
    When the man who gives the order
    Is born next time round on the boat sent back
    When the bodies starving at the border
    Are on TV giving people the sack
    When the sea rises to meet us
    When there's nothing left for you and I to do
    When there's nobody upstairs to receive us
    When I have no kind words left, love for you
    Be
    Be as you've always been
    Be love in its disrepute
    That scorches the hillside and salts every root
    And watches the slowing
    And the starving of troops
    And lover be good to me
    Be there and just as you stand
    Or be like the rose that you'd hold in your hand
    That will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
    And lover be good to me
    Be as you've always been

    (Lover, be good to me)
    Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
    Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
    And watches the slowin' and starvin' of troops
    And lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
    Be there and just as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
    Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover, be good to me)
    That will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
    Oh, lover, be good to me
    Love, won't you be
    Love, won't you be
    Be as you've always been?
    Love, won't you be
    Love, won't you be
    Be as you've always been?
    Love, won't you be
    Love, won't you be
    Be as you've always been?
    Love, won't you be
    Love, won't you be
    Be as you've always been?

    Lyrics :
    When all the worst we fear let's fall its weight
    When the gyre widens on a window, wave breaks
    When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
    When Atlas acts a maggot and makes his arms shake
    When the birds are heard again and their singing
    And once atrocity is hoarse from voice and shame
    And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
    With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came
    Be, be, be, be, be
    Be as you've always been
    Be, be, be, be, be
    Be as you've always been
    (Lover be good to me)
    Be as you've always been
    Be like a love that discovered the sin
    That freed the first man, would do so again
    And lover be good to me (Lover be good to me)
    Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost
    That's been next to our after since the master was crossed
    Which side of the wall really suffers that cost
    Oh, lover be good to me
    When the man who gives the order is born next time 'round on the boats and back
    When the body is starving at the border
    Or on TV given people the sack
    Love, when the sea rises to meet us
    Oh, when there's nothing left for you and I to do
    Oh, when there is nobody upstairs to receive us
    When I have no kind words left, love, for you
    Be, be, be, be, be
    Be as you've always been
    Be, be, be, be, be
    Be as you've always been
    (Lover be good to me)
    Be love in its disrepute
    Scorches a hillside and salts every root
    And watches the slowing and starving of troops
    And lover be good to me (Lover be good to me)
    Be there and your stairs you stack
    Or be like the rose you hold in your hand
    I will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
    And lover be good to me
    Love, won't you be?
    Love, won't you be?
    Be as you always been?
    Love, won't you be?
    Love, won't you be?
    Be as you always been?
    Love, won't you be?
    Love, won't you be?
