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

The fact this song falls under the circle of Fraud and is about avoiding someone and people are still interpreting it as a love song is so delightfully poetic

@yourmomcollins8827 9 ай бұрын

I love how this isn’t a love song. “If I was a rip tide I wouldn’t take you out” and “if I were a stampede you wouldn’t get a kick” feels like he’s saying that he’d avoid whoever no matter what. Like irl in a stampede/rip tide you’re not getting outa that without a scratch 😭 but nah he ain’t touching you. And “I hear he touches your hand, and you fly away together. If I had his job you’d live forever” like to me “He” is an Angel/Angel of death who like takes people to heaven. My man is saying that he wouldn’t take whoever to heaven where he lives cuz he really don’t like them, he keeps says “go look another way” im sorry it’s so hilarious to me.😭 idk if that’s what Hozier intentions were (making the song sound like a big ole “stay away from me”) but i love how backhanded it all sounds especially when you think abt the song being abt fraud.

@nakochips 6 ай бұрын

this is a really interesting take on it, especially considering i DID interpret it as a love song lol!! to me, he's describing dangerous situations (rip tide, stampede, dying) and saying how if he was those things, he would protect the person from them. but i like your interpretation too!! makes me see the song in a whole different light 😂

hey maybe i've totally misinterpreted this, and obviously everyone is entitled to their own interpretations of songs, but - i feel like this is not a love song at all! for me, this is a "i do not love you please go away i just want to vibe" kinda song which is such an aroace mood! - "if i was a riptide, i wouldn't take you out!" "if i was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick" i love those lyrics!!

You're completely right! Everybody else is falling for the fraudulence of this song. It's anything but a love song. It's about wanting complete avoidance

@RegAgape 7 ай бұрын

Hi I'm aroace flux. This song reminds me of a time I developed the most unwelcome and unusual squish. It was kinda all-consuming and my partner at the time really disliked the person, so yes, avoidance. But not total ambivalence. More like, "Ugh I don't wanna feel these things please just let me dislike/forget you so I can get on with life!" Hence, perhaps, the "C'mere to me," in the beginning. Like I get the sense he's saying, "I don't love you/want to love you, but I definitely like and think about you and I don't like that."

According to the man himself this song is saying "I want nothing to do with you at all".
