Must I have a career? Is it not enough to scroll Pinterest while listening to Hozier?

hi!

with hozier recently releasing de selby part 1 I've seen lots of translations of his Irish verse and many of them have been quite inaccurate. but the thing about the Irish language is that often there is no direct translation back into any other language as it is a language that is based a lot on context and proverbs etc. so here is my take as a native Irish person on the translation of the verse

Bhfuilis soranna sorcha - although you are light and bright

Ach tagais ’nós na hoíche - you come to me like nightfall

Trína chéile; - confused/going mad

Le chéile, claochlaithe - together, transformed

Bhfuilis soranna sorcha - although you are light and bright

Ach tagais ’nós na hoíche - you come to me like nightfall

Is claochlú an ealaín - its the art of metamorphosis

Is ealaín dubh í - it is a dark art

for the trína chéile lime there is two sides because the direct translation would be confused bit its also used to say someone is going mad so in the context of the song i think going mad makes a bit more sense

obviously the only way we can get the true words and meaning is from hozier himself but as someone who studies and speaks the language here is my understanding and translation of the song after listening many many times and seeing other irish peoples views on it. I am in no way saying I'm correct but this is just my take!

thinking about the recurring theme of identity in unreal unearth, and how the speaker's sense of identity is most frequently tied to his relationship, and the connectedness between them, where the relationship was so transformative that it fundamentally changed him, and now that the relationship is dead, he needs to bury those parts of himself that were born out of the relationship and forge new ones, in which we follow him as he travels through the circles of hell in the afterlife to deposit those fragments of identity and moments from the relationship so that he can emerge changed and with a new definition of himself and his identity in this essay I will-
