Hozier – Anything But ( Lyrics ) Letra HozierVEVO Hozier – Anything But ( Lyrics )

C’mere to me I wish I was a mayfly on the River Tay
I’d fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day
I wish I was the sunlight just sitting on
The Mississippi
I’d settle for a shopping trolley in The Liffey
In a shot I’d swap my body for a body of water
Worry the cliffside top as a wave crashing over
I’d lower the world in a flood or better yet I’d cause a drought
If I was a riptide,
I wouldn’t take you out

I don’t wanna be anything
But I would do everything just to run away
I don’t wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you’d hear me say

Go look another way
Look another way

Look, I wanna be loud
So loud, I’m talking seismic
I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rain stick
I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves moving quick
If was a stampede
You wouldn’t get a kick

I wanna be the shadow when my bright future’s behind me
I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees I hear he touches your hand, and then you fly away together
If I had his job
You would live forever

I don’t wanna be anything
But I would do everything just to run away
I don’t wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you’d hear me say

Go look another way
Look another way

Hozier – Butchered Tongue ( Lyrics ) Letra HozierVEVO Hozier – Butchered Tongue ( Lyrics )

As a child it was
The place names singing
at me as the first thing

How the mouth
Must be employed
In every corner of itself

To say
“Apalachicola”, or “Hushpuckena”
Like “Gweebarra”; a promise
Softly sung of somewhere else

And as a young man
Blessed to pass so many road signs
And have my foreign ear
Made fresh again
On each unlikely sound
But feel at home
Hearing a music
That few still understand
A butchered tongue still
Singing here above the ground

The ears were chopped
from young men
If the pitch-cap didn’t kill them

They are buried
Without scalp
In the shattered bedrock of our home

You may never know your fortune
Until the distance has been shown between
What is lost forever
And what can still be known

So far from home
To have a stranger call you ‘darling’
And have your guarded heart
Be lifted like a child up by the hand
In some town that just means
‘Home’ to them
With no translator left to sound
A butchered tongue
Still singing here above the ground

Hozier – Who We Are ( Lyrics ) Letra HozierVEVO Hozier – Who We Are ( Lyrics )

You only feel it when it’s lost
Getting through still has a cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Falling from you drop by drop

What I had left here
I just held it tight
So someone with your eyes
Might come in time
To hold me like water
Or Christ, hold me like a knife

We’re born at night
So much of our life
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far,
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It’s who we are

You and I burned out our steam
Chasing someone else’s dream How can something be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems?
Darling, we sacrificed
We gave our time to something undefined This phantom life sharpens like an image
But it sharpens like a knife

We’re born at night
So much of our life
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far,
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It’s who we are

You only feel it when it’s lost
Getting through still has its cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
Falling from you drop by drop

Hozier, Brandi Carlile – Damage Gets Done ( Lyrics ) Letra HozierVEVO Hozier, Brandi Carlile – Damage Gets Done ( Lyrics )

Without Shame
Two outfits then to my name
You’d end up in one when you’d stay
We had nowhere to go
And every desire for going there

I heard once
It’s the comforts that make us feel numb
We’d go out with no way to get home
And we’d sleep on somebody’s floor,
Wake up feeling like a millionaire

Wish I’d known it was just our turn
(We just got by)
Being blamed for a world we had no power in
(But we tried)
You and I had nothing to show
(We didn’t know…)
But the best of the world in the palm of our hand and darling
(…anything darling)

I haven’t felt it since then
I don’t know how the feeling ended but I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done

One time we would want for nothing
(One time we had it all love…)
We knew what our love was worth
(…when we had nothing)
Now we’re always missing something
I miss when we did not need much

If the car ran, the car was enough
If the sun shone on us it’s a plus
And the tank was always filled up
Only enough for our getting there

That first car was like wings on an angel (You flew away…)
Before the whole wide world got too thin
(…from me then)
I swear goodwill kept up the engine
You were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands and darling
(Turn back darling)

I haven’t felt it since then
I don’t know how the feeling ended but I know being reckless and young
Is not how the damage gets done

All I needed was someone
When the whole wide world felt young

Hozier – First Time ( Lyrics ) Letra HozierVEVO Hozier – First Time ( Lyrics Letra)
Remember once I told you about
How before I heard it from your mouth
My name would always hit my ears
As such an awful sound
And the soul, if that’s what you’d call it
Uneasy ally of the body
It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground And the first time that you kissed me
I drank dry the river Lethe The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same But you spoke some quick new music
That went so far to soothe this soul
As it was
And ever shall be
Unearth without a name

Some part of me must have died
The first time that you called me ‘baby’ And some part of me came alive
The first time that you called me ‘baby’

These days I think I owe my life to flowers
That were left here by my mother
Ain’t that like them… gifting life to you again
This life lived mostly underground
Unknowing either sight nor sound
‘Til reaching up for sunlight
Just to be ripped out by the stem
Sensing only now it’s dying,
Drying out, then drowning
Blindly blooming forth its every colour
In the moments it has left;
To share the space with simple living things
Infinitely suffering but fighting off,
Like all creation,
The absence of itself
Anyway…

Some part of me must have died
Each time that you called me ‘baby’
And some part of me stayed alive
Each time that you called
Each time that you called…

C’mere
Ooh la la, ooh la la
What ever keeps you around, it keeps you around Ooh la la, c’mere, ooh la la
What ever keeps you around, it keeps you around

The last time it was heard out loud, The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
To resignation as the arguing declined
When I was young I used to guess Are there limits to any emptiness?
When was the last time?
C’mere to me, when was the last time?

Some part of me must have died
The final time you called me ‘baby’ But some part of me came alive
The final time you called me ‘baby’

Hozier – De Selby (Part 2) (Official Lyrics) Lyrics, Letra Hozier
Official lyric video for “De Selby (Part 2)” by Hozier
What you’re given
What you live in
Darling it finds a way to live in you

And your heart, love
Has such darkness
I feel it in the corners of the room

(If I was any closer)
After the gloom,
(I could only lose me)
I wanna lose me
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
I wanna fade away with you

(If I was any closer)
If I was any closer
(I could only lose me)
I could be lost
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
No more than I was or than I
Want to be when you fall on me
Like night every time
And I want to be so far from sight and mind
I wanna kill the lights

I wanna run against the world that’s turning
I’d move so fast that I’d outpace the dawn
I wanna be gone

I wanna run so far, I’d beat the morning
Before the dawn has come, I’d block the sun
If you want it done

Let all time slow
Let all light go
I don’t need to know where we begin and end

I’d still know you
Not being shown you
I only need the working of my hands

(If I was any closer)
Do you understand?
(I could only lose me)
I wanna lose me
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
I, I wanna fade away with you

(If I was any closer)
If I was any closer
(I could only lose me)
I could be lost
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
No more than I was or than I
Want to be when you fall on me
Like night every time
I wanna kill the lights

I wanna run against the world that’s turning
I’d move so fast that I’d outpace the dawn
I wanna be gone

I wanna run so far, I’d beat the morning
Before the dawn has come, I’d block the sun
If you want it done

Hozier – Eat Your Young (Official Lyric Video) Lyrics
I’m starving, Darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Start carving, Darling
I want to smell the dinner cooking
I want to feel the edges start to burn

Honey, I
Want to race you to the table
If you hesitate

The getting is gone
I won’t lie
If there’s something to be gained
There’s money to be made
Whatever’s still to come

Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It’s quicker and easier to eat your young

You can’t buy this fineness
Let me see the heat get to it
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
It’s a kindness, Highness
Crumbs enough for everyone
Old and young are welcome to the meal

Honey, I’m
Making sure the table’s made
We can celebrate
The good that we’ve done

I won’t lie
If there’s something still to take
There is ground to break
Whatever’s still to come

Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It’s quicker and easier to eat your young

Hozier – Through Me (The Flood) (Official Lyric Video) Lyrics
Picture a man,
Seen like a spec out from the shore,
Swimming out beyond the breakers like he’s done his life before,
He feels the coming of a squall will drag him out a greater length
But knows his strength and tries to gather it,
And he swims on
Turning back to shore again,
Above the outer atmosphere of a world he’s never seen,
And looking down to his new home he feels the rising of a wave,
And knows at once he will not weather it

Like that man
I looked down into the depths when I met you
I couldn’t measure it.

Anytime I’ve struggled on
Against the course
out on my own;
Everytime I’d burn
Through the world I’d see
That the world, it burns through me.

But when I, I’d let go,
My struggling form,
My willing soul
Everytime would flow
Through the world I’d see
That the world, it flows through me.

Picture a grave,
Picture six feet freshly dug,
The sharp temporary walls at the long-term cliff edge of the world,
Light and air find some new deepness there and usher down the sky where one stands by,
And tries make sense of it.
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.

With each grave,
I think of loss and I can only think of you
And I couldn’t measure it.

Anytime I’ve struggled on
Against the course
out on my own;
Everytime I’d burn
Through the world I’d see
That the world, it burns through me.

But when I, I’d let go,
My struggling form,
My willing soul
Everytime would flow
Through the world I’d see
That the world, it flows through me.
