Lyrics
I have never known peace
Like the damp grass that yields to me
I have never known hunger
Like these insects that feast on me

A thousand teeth
And yours among them, I know
Our hungers appeased
Our heartbeats becoming slow

We lay here for years or for hours
Thrown here or found
To freeze or to thaw
So long we become the flowers
Two corpses we were
Two corpses I saw

And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
After the insects have made their claim
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you

I have never known sleep
Like the slumber that creeps to me
I have never known color
Like this morning reveals to me

And you haven't moved an inch
Such that I would not know
If you sleep always like this
The flesh calmly going cold

We lay here for years or for hours
Your hand in my hand
So still and discreet
So long we become the flowers
We'd feed well the land
And worry the sheep

And they'd find us in a week
When the cattle show fear
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you

They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)
When the weather gets hot (So long we become the flowers)
They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)
When the cattle shows fear (So long we become the flowers)

And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
After the raven has had its say

I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you
I'd be home with you

Rock Genius Clean-Up Week 6: Hozier's "Take Me To Church" -- a work in progress
For week 6, I have decided to brave the minefield of annotations on Hozier’s Take Me to Church. Q: What do you get when you mix religion, sex, politics, poetic licence, filmmaker’s interpretation, and 700,000+ views? A: A bloody mess. This issues on this song were manifold. Hozier himself has given multiple statements about the meaning of the song, mainly saying it is about sex, humanism, and not allowing religion or other cultural entities to define you. However, the director of the video used the song as a platform for protesting the treatment of homosexuals in Russia. This didn’t disagree with Hozier’s intent, but it put a different spin on the lyrics. In particular, the relationship described in the lyrics is hetero. This led to annotations that were dedicated solely to church-bashing, arguments about the sexual orientation of the singer, conflicting discussions about Church doctrines, pagan practices, and so on… Cleaning this up is a task that feels akin to attempting to herd cats.
