Lyrics:
Picture a man,
Seen like a spec out from the shore,
Swimming out beyond the breakers like he’s done his life before,
He feels the coming of a squall will drag him out a greater length
But knows his strength and tries to gather it,
And he swims on
Turning back to shore again,
Above the outer atmosphere of a world he’s never seen,
And looking down to his new home he feels the rising of a wave,
And knows at once he will not weather it
Like that man
I looked down into the depths when I met you
I couldn’t measure it.
Anytime I've struggled on
Against the course
out on my own;
Everytime I'd burn
Through the world I'd see
That the world, it burns through me.
But when I, I'd let go,
My struggling form,
My willing soul
Everytime would flow
Through the world I'd see
That the world, it flows through me.
Picture a grave,
Picture six feet freshly dug,
The sharp temporary walls at the long-term cliff edge of the world,
Light and air find some new deepness there and usher down the sky where one stands by,
And tries make sense of it.
But try measure loss,
Measure the silence of a house,
The unheard footsteps at the doorway,
The unemployment of the mouth,
The waking up having forgotten,
And remembering again the full extent of what forever is.
With each grave,
I think of loss and I can only think of you
And I couldn’t measure it.
Anytime I've struggled on
Against the course
out on my own;
Everytime I'd burn
Through the world I'd see
That the world, it burns through me.
But when I, I'd let go,
My struggling form,
My willing soul
Everytime would flow
Through the world I'd see
That the world, it flows through me.
#Hozier #ThroughMe #EatYourYoung
How does Hozier write things like "But try measure loss, measure the silence of a house, the unheard footsteps at the doorway, the unemployment of the mouth, the waking up having forgotten and remembering again the full extent of what forever is" and just expect me to go on like nothing happened afterwards
Because he can.....he may not be able to measure it..... simply and beautifully asks who can
This line painfully describes the house after you lose your loved one. God I cried :(((
He’s true poet 😮❤
And his voice / ohmygawd 😢😮😢❤
i think he found god
Exactly. I get choked up every time.
I never get tired of Hozier’s ability to write meaningful lyrics
A lot of todays artists write such shallow and self important lyrics. Hozier really is a respite from the constant status quo.
Love seeing people with The Owl House pfps. Such a good show
As someone bereaved because their partner took his life, this one cuts like a knife. It's so good but I cry every time I listen to it.
Beauty is never tiresome.
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
WHOA the line about waking up in the morning and remembering that someone is gone forever HIT LIKE A TRUCK.
That was the moment I went "oh."
When I lost my mom nearly ten years ago, every single morning for a month was almost unbearable with that feeling
it's been a little more than a year since my brother died and i still can't get rid of that feeling
@@Dabednego mine two years ago. I feel you
@@Dabednego mine was at the beginning of this month. I keep dreaming that she’s still around and then I have to sit stunned for a minute when I wake up.
Love this combination of an Irish traditional-style melody with an R&B style of instrumentation and voicing! So unique and sweet
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
Yessssss, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one picking up the RnB notes in it :D
Youre picking up r&b because this song is directly inspired by Black Gospel Spirituals. And lots of famous r&b artists used this same cadence in their songs like Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin and the Staples Singers (including Mavis lol), so it actually goes super deep. If you've ever seen the movie Ray, Ray Charles was actually heavily criticized for doing the same thing. Sentiments have changed since then, of course 😅
@@CelestialAgony829 yeah this song reminds me of my chior class. We just did a concert with a gospel chior so I guess that's why lol
@@CelestialAgony829 going off of this, the instruments used are the exact same instruments you will hear in black gospel music. (Organ, tambourine, drums, electric bass and electric guitar) Blues, of which r&b derives its name, and black gospel are often referred to as two sides of the same coin, and often share a fair amount of overlap. I'd say thematically this song is more blues. Both of these styles are derived from black spirituals. It's very cool to think about the pieces of stylistic choice that have stayed in popular music over the years to the point where we can still point them out! Especially considering the history that doctor canon points out about criticism, (being called the devil's music) and oppression that has been trying to get rid of it for centuries.
I love how Hozier's Irish accent comes through really strongly in this song, it's so pleasing to listen to
❤
Man, I really love what the song is speaking of.
From what I understand, the song is about your power to change the world is based on your ability to surrender to what you can't control, because the more you try, the more you "burn" the world around you.
It's about resistance and trying to "measure" things most people think they understand (love in the first verse and grief in the second), but once truly faced with it, one can either go mad trying to make sense of it, or let it be, let it "flow" and let it change you.
But as you let these feelings change you, you understand that you are part of the world you want to change and through your own evolution, you have changed the world.
It is not you versus the world, but who you are and who you become 𝘪𝘴 the world you bring forth.
Underneath the pretty words, there's so much humanity under them. Hozier gets it. He really does.
Very well said!! ❤❤
Wow. Great analysis
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
Thank you.
@@ayoolukoga9829 same verse. again, why
The forgotten child of the Eat Your Young EP. This song was did dirty.
I love this song because it’s desperate, but resolute. It’s painful and filled with grief and loss, but is ultimately a story of survival. It both recognizes the hurt and pulls you through it. It reminds us that the same waters that drown and destroy also give life.
🥹🙌💪❤️
Hozier's music is always amazing, Once in a generation artist
Hell of a writer. Lyrically and composition
Its no accident hes Irish...
He's a modern day poet, really
This is the one song that I can’t wrap my head around how GORGEOUS the lyrics are. Blows me away every listen
I lost my mom at the beginning of this month, right about when Hozier announced this new music. I remember thinking, “at least I have this to look forward to.” Of course Hozier would have written the perfect song to get me through this grief
I'm so sorry for your loss, hope you're doing alright ❤️
My condolences, I hope you're doing okay...
I lost my mom last July, my heart is with you.
Big relate. Lost my mom in September and hozier has always been there
Sorry for your loss Chris!
It's an actual crime that this didn't make it on the full album Andrew 😭
I am speechless, this EP exceeded my expectations and they were HIGH. This song is my favourite from the 3, just wow
Same
Same🎉
New album will be called "Unreal Unearth" and will have 17-18 songs. I'm so hyped for it 🤗
@@tomeioperdido I am so excited! Late summer can't come soon enough
@@tomeioperdido I heard that number of songs and almost cried on the spot. We don't deserve this amazing man
Oh he for sure put his whole soul into this album, what a genuine legend 😌💅🏼
EP!* He's coming out with album later this year!
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
Io lo adoro❤
È davvero troppo bravo
È sensibile ed è molto maturo per la sua giovane rispetto a tanti altri coetanei.
Rimani sempre così Andrew Hozier ti prego non cambiare 3:34
He sounds so Irish in this! I’m so proud to be a hozier fan rn
"The full extent of what forever is" how the hell does he manage to some up the complexities of grief in just a few sentences.. brilliant.. if there was another season of after life, this song would pair so well!..
The whole hozussy going into this album, I can feel it
Not the hozussy 😭
Jailllll
All three of them were absolute perfection as expected. Hozier never disappoints
meh
This is a gift. Hozier never fails to cut to the bone with his soulful voice. This album is what's keeping me going
The way he paints a picture in your mind with his words
this man is literally one of the best lyricists of our time
"The waking up having forgotten and remembering again the full extent of what forever is."
For their 25th anniversary, my aunt got her and her husband matching key chains with their wedding date and "25 years down, forever to go" engraved into a token. Just a few weeks before their 27th, she suddenly passed away in her sleep. What was originally a sweet gift is now keeping my uncle alive. He's lost all sense of safety, control, and purpose, but at least he knows that she fully believed that they'd be in eternity forever, and it helps him find comfort in that idea too.
It's been about a month and a half. Every day's a little easier. This song and Francesca both make me think of them, I'm not sure if I should share these with him yet or wait a little while but I will eventually
It’s like your gifting us with these new songs for your birthday!! Lyrical genius!! I don’t think you can make a bad song. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 happy birthday Andrew!! 🎉🎂☘️🍻
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
I cry listening to this because I can relate to it in so many ways!
Grief is so strong, the gravity pulling you down and the helplessness.
But then Yes you have to let go, push yourself up and forward and when you do, you ain't sinking anymore. You learn to flow and float!
It ain't easy but Time and Tide stop for none.
The way I look at it is Death is peaceful, but being dead when you're still alive, that is the real tragedy!
"being dead when you're still alive, that is the real tragedy" beautiful
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
@@ayoolukoga9829 how does this apply
@@unidentifiedwhistlingobjec6515 It's probably a spammer.
@@DarkMatterLuigi yeah probably
My god, that lyric about measuring loss and grief hit like an absolute gut-punch
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Matthew 27:46
@@ayoolukoga9829 posting random verses out of context like this does nothing to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth
This is so amazing. Ethereal. I’m devastated. I’m reborn. I love you, Andrew. Your music means everything to me.
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
I just realized this didn’t make the cut on the album… I hope he releases it as part of a deluxe version later or something :(
"I think of loss and I can only thinks of you", I felt that
Hozier your songs touch the soul, thank you
My favorite part is when he sings "but when when *** I'd *** let go...my struggling form, my willing soul" it sounds like a yelp or cry of a wounded animal. The pain of letting go and giving up control. And the pain of something being ripped from your own heart and then freeing you ❤ i feel that down to my soul. Thank you Hozier 🙏
No one can beat Hozier's lyricism!

@@ayoolukoga9829 AGAIN, WHY
This is pure poetry given musical form. The respect I have for this man and his intelligence is unreal.
The more u listen the better it gets ❤
YES!!!
The first Hozier songs I’ll listen to on time (discovered him a year ago) 💚 I’ll cherish this moment forever
Me and you both
Verse: 💔🪦😞
Chorus:🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
I listened to Hozier’s song, “Blood Upon the Snow” - the style is compatible with this song, and it’s themes meld with “Eat Your Young.” It is like reading a book of poetry, attending an art exhibition, this growing body of work of his that forms a vastly layered picture of existence. It is an artist’s exploration & expression of how he apprehends the world. I’ve always thought that Hozier is brilliant, likely a genius, and he proves this over and over.
"The waking up having forgotten,
And remembering again" ❤😢
The second verse is hitting me so hard bcs I'm currently sitting at my grandpa's funeral...this song has helped me get through this entire tragedy. Thank you
My condolences honey 🖤
I lost my grandmother on Monday.
I wish there was something I could say to make it better.
One thing for sure, it absolutely sucks.
If I could, I would hug you and give you a shoulder to cry on.
@allisonmccune9556 thank you 🫂 my grandma's house just feels so quiet without him... i have his old car, and I found his sunglasses in there. I told my mom and we just cried for a bit (it was her dad)
@@thefiretailedweasel6206
I’m so sorry honey.
I keep having dreams of being at my grandmother’s house and I’m looking for her and she has passed in my dreams.
I miss her so much.
I’m send you positive thoughts and all of my love.🖤
‘The waking up having forgotten
and remembering again
The full extent.. of what forever is’ - stopped me dead in my tracks 😢. Grief summed up in 15 words.
NEW HOZIER MUSIC LETS GOOOOOOO
So honored to be singing on this tune! ❤
OMG was it only you on bg vocals layered? and tiny subtle flourishes here & there 🥰🥰
I started listening to Hozier right after my father passed away in 2016, the music to this song somewhat reminded me of that time and then the lyrics to the second verse came and I could almost hear my heart shatter because he has no right to dig right into my psyche for that last bit of unresolved grief like that.
The way he perfectly describes grief and how it exists on us. Speaks to me. Missing mom two years
this will definitely be on repeat for me. I haven't heard hozier Irish accent so clearly in a song before
I don't go to church, but I'd let Hozier take me to church anytime with his songs.
Wait, why is this not on the album?…… WAIT!!!!
I know, I love this song so much... 😢
I was wondering the same thing
"I looked down into the depths when I met you"
Damn what a banger of a line
Ahh Historia❤
Hozier’s tale-oriented storytelling fits the production a lot more than i thought. the story, drifting like spoken word folklore, blends perfectly with the new style. beautiful song. this EP is very nice.
i love when irish
I cried Hozier, I cried.
My mother is currently on her death bed. These lyrics are so uncanny and applicable, and they've burned through me, setting me alight. Thank you Andrew Hozier💚🖖🏽✌🏽🙏🏽🍀
I'm so sorry :( How are you holding up? It can't possibly be easy for either of you but I hope that her passing will be a calm one and I hope you have kind people around you to support you
@Wren 😓🫂🙏
Sending love and strength your way❤️

@@ayoolukoga9829 would you stop?!? Once is enough!
his accent is so heavy here i love it
THIS SONG IS SOOO UNDERRATED
He really captures the pain and beauty of the times.
And you can feel that as he sings. Every time I listen to his work, it feels like that feeling I get when I'm really in the groove writing fiction. That swell of emotion as you align everything inside of you with what's outside of you, and bring it forth on the page in an emotional rollercoaster that both tells your pain and makes a statement you wish others understood. He brings you along with him the way good writing does.
I want to call what he does lyric poetry but that doesn't really describe it. It's just...magical storytelling in sung form. Almost like an incantation or weaving a spell. He brings flow state out of other people, which is quite the trick.
Way to go man, you're a gift and so is this album. And to everyone reading this--keep fighting the good fight, ya'll.
I lost my partner a few years ago and those lines about waking up having forgotten just knocked me on my ass.
These lyrics are beautiful and emotive and too damn real.
Jesus the lyrics. It is so good.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Deuteronomy 5:11
Hozier is reaching a new horizon with the newer stuff. Genius of songwriting.
No way I caught this on time
Your 2 minutes to late !!! 😂
This EP is such an incredible mash up of genres. This song is my favorite for a lot of reasons but one is that there is a hint of mountain music in it.
Favourite song from this beautiful EP. First, the melody, then the backing vocals, the rhythm... and finally the lyrics. Wow.
Watching from Paris, France!
I was at the Alhambra last Friday and loved it. Amazing band around you, it was a dream! Can’t wait to hear Francesca again, and all the new songs. All the best for your upcoming shows and the album release.
Another flavor from his voice. This sounds so comfortable but upbeat.
Ever since i heard "nina cried power" i knew this was the guy wealth listening to and i haven't stopped since then
This right here is a masterpiece
❤ from Ghana
No music will ever equate to the purely poetic nature of Hozier’s.
Hozier is an absolute musical genius
I know it so well that he's such a beautiful lyricist but I'm still astonished every time
This imagery is monstrously beautiful and gut wrenching: "Picture a grave
Picture six feet freshly dug
The sharp temporary walls at the long-term cliff edge of the world
Light and air find some new deepness there and usher down the sky
Where one stands by and tries make sense of it"
Just amazing!!❤❤
My favorite of the three new releases
I'm in love with the way he puts words together
It’s simply unfair how many bangers he comes up with, my heart can’t handle it
My heart genuinely hurts. How I've missed your music and happy birthday Andrew
How can some songs be just background sounds while others move your entire soul? This song is waking your soul up
Gosh Hozier is an actual author with all these beautiful, devastating lyrics.
He never fails to bring out amazing hits
The poetry in all three of these new songs is so incredibly powerful, beautiful and sometimes devastating. Thank you for this music that has so much meaning and beauty ❤
Our Hozier is back again with one masterpiece after another. Thank you for being the way you are ♡
Okay, it's been almost a month since this song came out, and I'm obssessed, Hozier, do you realize the fcking masterpieces you come up with?
definitely my favourite of the three songs, so much meaning in each lyric and personal meaning to me. thank you Hozier for still being here.
I can't explain how meaningful and awesome this is!! I listened to this song first thing in the morning when I saw it and I can't describe with words the feeling I had from these lyrics, it feels like they burned through me and woke me from a long, long sleep. I haven't felt this alive in so long! Thank you Hozier! Thank you for existing, thank you for being a remarkable singer, writer, poet, artist... and most importantly an incredibly admirable human being.
This is you day, but we're the ones being blessed by your music, so accept it too, all the blessings and good emotions we send you, don't push yourself so hard, celebrate the little things in your life and also celebrate your life in itself, your existence is a blessing for many of us! ❤
The second paragraph ahhh 🙏🏽
"the waking up having forgotten, then remembering again, at full extent, of what forever is" okay and how do you want me to continue my life after writing that now Andrew.
best day ever
A new song from our music lord and savior ❤
He turned the sea into dry land: They went through the flood on foot: There did we rejoice in him. Psalm 66:6
He is an absolute genius, honestly - the lyricism, GOD!!! Listening to this EP isn't enough, i need to eat it.
Hozier’s music is the thread by which I am hanging on lol I feel so fortunate to be born during his lifetime ❤
This is pure Hozier. I hear it one time and my heart wraps around the poetry and the melody carves out a deeper place. This is involuntary…grateful!
So excited
This. I can't explain how much this. Saying I love this would not encoumpass how much I feel for this song. It just has so much emotion and power, and it might just be up there next to Nina Cried Power. I can't explain how amazing this song is. I love you, Hozier. Probably my favorite song of this album.
I'm speechless
why didn't this one make the album king
I can’t wait to hear all the songs together, sounds like a story ! ❤️🔥
Hoziers way of arranging words to make a meaning brings me joy.
Hozier is the greatest aritst ever, everything he does is just pure art!
"With each grave/I think of loss and I can only think of you/And I couldn't measure it"
I cannot WAIT to see the live versions 😍😍😍
I don't know how he does it, but he doesn't have a single bad or mediocre song. This is fantastic.
He is the best active singer songwriter. No question.
I was practically dancing along to this song while doing work and wasn't paying attention to the lyrics, at about 2:25 i finally tuned into the lyrics and my heart dropped. my smile faded and was replaced with tears. Ouch. Only Hozier's songs can make you go through this.
This happened to me with cherry wine
Absolute banger
Imma take this little moment to wish for a show in Argentina someday, we adore you, thank you for your wonderful music ❤
Literally incapable or writing a bad song. I love this one!
Glad to have you back, Hozier ❤
