Whenever I see an Ivan Aivazovski painting the sea monster in me goes absolutely feral

In Shane we trust 🙏

I’ve heard Butchered Tongue a few times, and I know this song is supposed to be about the violence of the colonization of Ireland, and the fight to survive of a language, and how there are scars left in the language that will never heal, but like as someone from a country that was colonized, and this colonization erased a big amount of the indigenous culture, this song is a love letter to the indigenous population that’s often overlooked, and suffered from great damage from the colonization, most of the country worships a foreigner’s god, and speaks a tongue that isn’t ours, there’s barely an echo of our indigenous culture in our daily lives, and hearing someone speak an indigenous tongue is pretty much a miracle, the story of who we are as a country was erased by colonization, and this song is a reminder of what was taken from us.

Apparently hozier's new album is based on the nine circles of hell 👀:

Limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud, treachery

We're getting circles 3 and 6 in the ep

"Eat your young" is obviously gluttony

"All things end" may be heresy because it's denying the existence of an afterlife

"Through me (the flood)" is a play on "Après moi, le déluge"  which is commonly interpreted as a nihilistic saying but I think hozier is using the other interpretations of it

Honestly either one of these can be heresy but I think it's all things end

Anyways hozier cannibalism era let's goooo

I’m thinking about how Wasteland, Baby was a call to action and a tongue-and-cheek acceptance of the end of the world. And how Eat Your Young and Unreal Unearth are about the nine circles of Hell, about the afterlife, about the consequences after death. I’m thinking about one album cover being under water and another being buried under earth, about NFWMB “ain’t it like thunder under earth the sound it makes”, about Unreal Unearth and unearthing something, un-burial, about Like Real People Do “what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth.”

I’m thinking Eat Your Young, about Kronos’ mythology, about hunger for and to keep power, about gluttony. I’m thinking about Swan Upon Leda, about the lust Zeus had for Leda, about the greed of man over bodies, about who is the sinner. I’m thinking about angels, about their lack of power in Swan Upon Leda “could never belong to angels”, about their fall from grace in the “Unknown” song “I thought you were like an angel/going unknown as any angel/you called me angel.”

I’m thinking about Hozier.

The biggest difference between Hozier and Lord Huron is Lord Huron could make Like Real People Do but Hozier could not make Ancient Names. Hope this helps

i really love that in the puppet history/watcher universe, despite shane being an atheist, god is real, but he's just some purple guy who intentionally makes crazy and fucked up shit happen on earth for kicks because he's bored

"he was sympathetic, but stressed that he was still really exhausted from that suez canal prank he pulled, which he described as quote, "david blaine level stuff""
