I didnāt get the lyrics at first but then I read somewhere on twitter that this song is about roadkill. And it really hit me, the painful brilliance of comparing love to a roadkill. Falling in love so quickly, pedal to the floor, going fast recklessly because the whole world seems insignificant and distant in comparison to this feeling and then because we are so reckless in love with hit it full speed and then weāre left cradling whatās left of it, watching as the life leaves its eyes

This one took me out at the knees upon first listen and I havenāt been able to stand since. It holds the perfect storm of all the things that make me emotional, so it makes me ugly cry EVERY time. The imagery, the metaphor, the suffering animal and then the cease of it, the awful realization of helpless love, the awe and compassion and terror and peace and despair of it all. Holy shit Hozier how do you manage to create art like this. Iām VERKLEMPT. Favorite from the album, hands down.

Sometimes it returns
Like rain that you slept through
That washed off the world
The streets looking brand new
I will not be great
But I'm grateful to get through
The feeling came late
I'm still glad I met you
The memory hurts
But does me no harm
Your hand in my pocket
To keep us both warm
The poor thing in the road
Its eye still glistening
The cold wet of your nose
The Earth from a distance
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
Sometimes there's a thought
Like you choose what you're doing
But it comes to nought
When I look back through it
I remember the view
Street lights in the dark blue
The moment I knew
I'd no choice but to love you
The speed that you moved
The screech of the cars
The creature still moving
That slowed in your arms
The fear in its eyes
Gone out in an instant
Your tear caught the light
The Earth from a distance
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
Darling, there's a part of me
I'm afraid will always be
Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life
The weeds up through the concrete
The traffic picking up speed
All my love and terror
Balanced there between those eyes
See how it shines
See how it shines
