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.

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
