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

A lot of animals eat their young and we see it as this horrific, beastly act (which it is) but the world that we have left our children just creates a long, drawn out version of the same act.

The marketing of this song, the one clip we were all obsessed with before this released, draws us in under this false pretense of sexuality and heat. Only for Hozier to hit us with yet another moral and political narrative. Drawing people in with the lure of sex (one of the 7 sins referenced in the song ;) ) to send them home with a message about exploitation and the abuse of power is genius. Hozier never ceases to be not only a musical mastermind, but an incredible representative of the people.

@BlackKoshka23 Жыл бұрын

That part of the song could very much represent the fact that some men are getting older and older, but their partner's ages remain the same (around their twenties), which leads to relationships with a huge power imbalance, and it can be another form of depredation, or "eating your young".

The song being disguised as something tempting, while if you pay attention you see the true nature of it, is really clever. Shows how you never get the full picture of what is happening unless you've got context. It's supposed to represent Gluttony. To me he speaks from a politician's POV. How they keep wanting more and more but are never full. "If there's something still to take. There is ground to break". Also the title, which to me means they will screw over younger generations to make themselves more comfortable. And then going back to my first point. Politicians are really good at candy-coating their words, and never speak plainly. You have to look at the whole picture in order to form your own opinion. Same goes with the song.

@EimhinMcGann 8 ай бұрын

Really clever hint to Irish history by Hozier; for those who don't know, the Irish author Jonathan Swift wrote a pamphlet called "A Modest Proposal" in 1726, when there was yet another massive famine in Ireland due to intentional mis-management by the British oppressors. There was lots of complaining in Britain about the hordes of starving Irish begging for their children's lives outside the walls of government, so Swift wrote this satirical book explaining to the Irish that they and their children would be better off to "Eat Your Young", because Hell would freeze over before the British rulers decided to help them. What a lovely people they are :)

It's a reference to the satirical article "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift which was written during the Irish Famine (genocide) explaining numerous ways to resolve famine by eating your children.

@amygray5285 Жыл бұрын

As mentioned I also think it could be in reference to Swift's satire (which I had to read in English when I didn't know what satire was, so believed Swift was being completely genuine) But (and this could be complete coincidence, and have nothing to do with the song) many animals will actually eat their young when under attack. I remember learning that hedgehogs will eat their own babies because in their minds their children will be eaten anyway by the creature attacking them, and the hedgehog doesn't want to waste a free meal. Lots of other species, like harpy eagles, will abandon their young if they can't fend for themselves, because it's easier to just start from scratch and raise a new chick. So what Swift was (satirically) suggesting, and what humans do (shift responsibilities onto the younger generations, or try to essentially trivialise their input and views on society) can be found in the natural world I'm sorry. This was a very long reply, but I love learning about the natural world.

@WeAreAirborne Жыл бұрын

It's intentional. The song is literally about A Modest Proposal, which was written specifically to call out the English government on its horrific treatment of the Irish. Hozier is Irish and is making the exact same points. As for "seven new ways that you can eat your young," Jonathan Swift recommends that Irish children can be prepared in six ways: "...[W]hether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust." It's not an accident.

@@jasmine24K it’s inspired by Dante’s 3rd Circle of Hell, or Gluttony. He uses a lot of food and feast imagery to reference different kinds of gluttony, specifically wealth at the expense of others, war profiteering, etc. The “Eat your young” and “skinning children” parts seem to be references to a famous Irish satirical writer named Jonathan Swift. He had an essay called “A Modest Proposal” where he satirically suggested cooking and eating children to solve the famine/poverty in Ireland. Swift suggests different ways to cook the children and use their skin for clothes and stuff, to not be wasteful. It’s an incredible essay but people were outraged by it at the time because I guess they either took it seriously or thought he was mocking the situation rather than criticizing the rich for their exploitation of the poor.

The chorus sings like a commercial jingle. Which is genius from both a pop music perspective, and also a biting satire of consumerism.

My favorite artist ever. Hozier’s music has got me through a LOT. When I felt like I had nobody, I found comfort and belonging in his music and I will always be grateful for how much it has helped me over the years. I’ve been waiting all day to put my headphones on and sit back for my first listen and while I expected it to be amazing, I’m still blown away at how he just can’t miss. Thank you, Hozier, for blessing us with more of your beautiful music❤

I'm not sure if anyone picked up on this but I think this song is a reference to "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. If you have the time to look it up it's very interesting. It's about a man who suggests eating Irish children to help with food scarcity because of Britain's tyranny at that time. His words are drenched with irony, he doesn't really mean anything he says, he just wanted the British to realize how bad they were treating Ireland.

Good bluesy disco vibe. I love how you treat the artistry of guitar as a black art first and every beautiful breath you take is in homage to those beautiful bones of rock and roll. Keep the blues in ya hozier. I love your art. Also Thank you for keeping trans rights in your heart. These days people seem utterly complicit in our destruction, be it blind eye, arrogance, or ignorance all seems lost most days. Your voice is honey to the sore soul these days.

If anyone is wondering this song was based off of Jonathan Swifts "A Mosdest Proposal" satirical essay, where he siggests to solve the problem of poverty and starvation in ireland, they they sell and eat the babies, preferably 1 year olds. He also suggests uses for their "hide", like gloves and bags. The essay was written to bring attention to the state
