Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust. We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us.

Jackie and Wilson - Hozier

[rotting-and-so-beautiful]

sharing this here even tho nobody’s gonna really care but it’s my blog and i can do what i want

the hozier brainrot has been mingling side by side with the TMA brainrot and this playlist is the idiot baby of that.

explanation of why i chose each song under the cut :p

The Eye 👁️ - Take Me To Church: despite being first on the playlist i actually struggled a bit to find a song that would fit, but i felt like TMTC had some really good lyrics for the Eye (“I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife,” “let me give you my life,” etc)

The Lonely 🌫️ - To Be Alone: i feel like this one is pretty self-explanatory. even though it’s technically about being with another person, it really emphasizes the “no one else is around” vibe. also…like, the title. yknow?

The Desolation 🔥 - Arsonist’s Lullaby: again, even more self-explanatory. the theme and lyrics of burning and fire and destruction. very Agnes Montague coded.

The Buried ⚰️ - Work Song: this one was mainly chosen for the chorus lyrics. “when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. no grave could hold my body down, i’d crawl home to her.” it feels very reminiscent of Daisy and Jon crawling out of the coffin.

The Vast ✈️ - I, Carrion (Icarian): for me it was either this or Sunlight, since both have references to Icarus and falling from the sky into the ocean, which all scream Vast. but I, Carrion places more emphasis on the actual fall, the wind rushing by and watching the sky expand, so i felt it was a better fit.

The Dark 🌑 - Son of Nyx: this one was hard. all the songs that i felt like could fit the Dark better I had already assigned to other fears, so this one is really off vibes and the title alone since SON doesn’t actually have lyrics. i still think it fits though, as the song does have a very “dark” feel to it.

The End 🪦 - Abstract (Psychopomp): originally i was going to assign the End to All Things End, but i actually feel like this song fits better. it feels so close and zoomed into the actual theme of death. “the fear in its eyes, gone out in an instant.” yeah…very End vibes.

The Corruption 🪱- It Will Come Back: this one too is based very much on the over all vibes as well as the literal lyrics. the idea of showing something kindness (being a host) until it will not leave feels very much like an infestation of sorts. where do we draw the line between a lover and a parasite? yeah this is Jane’s song.

The Flesh 🥩 - Eat Your Young: do i even have to explain? i can see this one also working for the Slaughter, but the Flesh is all about meat, eating, cannibalism, etc. “it’s quicker and easier to eat your young,” “i’m starving, darling,” “old and young are welcome to the meal.” it also touches on how people just want to consume, to own, and to have.

The Slaughter 🪖 - Nobody’s Solider: another one which is pretty self-explanatory. the fear of being seen as nothing but a tool for violence, the disdain for fighting. it’s an anti-war song, ofc it’s perfect for the Slaughter.

The Hunt 🐺 - In The Woods Somewhere: fun fact this song is actually the reason i decided to make this playlist. i just felt like it reminded me so much of when Basira had to hunt down Daisy in s5, putting her out of her misery. it just radiates Hunt vibes as well with its lyrics, both the pov of the hunter and the prey. “i turned and ran, to save a life i didn’t have.”

The Spiral 🌀- To Noise Making (Sing): this one was also a bit tricky but i actually think it fits pretty well, though it does lack the sense of fear that a lot of the others capture better. the idea of singing without a rhythm or purpose but just to make noise feels very Spiral-esque. also the obligatory “how would a melody describe itself?”

The Stranger 🎭 - Foreigner’s God: it was a tough choice between this and Someone New, but i think FG has a lot more of that fear and heartbreak that the Stranger stresses. A few of the lines are just so Stranger it’s ridiculous. “always a well-dressed fraud,” “wondering who i copy,” “all that i’ve been taught, and every word i’ve got, it foreign to me.”

The Web 🕷️- Swan Upon Leda: the Web was also a bit hard for me to pick because i was so caught up in the mindset of the Web being arachnophobia, but then i realized that such a big part of it manipulation and the loss of control over your own body. That control and loss of bodily autonomy is obviously a theme in this song, so i think it fits.

The Extinction ☢️ - All Things End: i actually wasn’t going to include the Extinction in the playlist, but i just felt like ATE fit it so well, i threw it in there anyways. the idea that all things are finite, everything will end, and we will all return to dust we were made from can feel pretty End (like i said, i was originally going to assign it to that one) but it just feels so much bigger than one person, and much closer to the Extinction imo.

HOZIER — It Will Come Back | Album Track By Track (2014) [1/3] requested by @rembrandtswife

[somnas-writes]

If Shanks was a musician, he would be the type of musician who drops the most earth shattering song once every five years then goes back to doing random side quests

[graaaaaayy]

one of the most iconic albums of all time is 10 years old today.

happy birthday to the hoziest album to ever hozy.

[eru-vande]

Cause my baby's sweet as can be

She'd give me toothaches just from kissing me

[gracies-doodles05]

Fun fact, not only did Hozier create romance with Work Song, he also created being delusional with Jackie and Wilson

[crystalsatin]

“so I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit everyday with someone new” – someone new, hozier

⋆·˚ ༘ * theme – ‘hozier (debut)’ album by hozier warnings – none! vic’s notes – none! post type – moodboard

[whim513]

one of the most underrated hozier songs in my opinion is Run because that song EATS i love the vocals and the imagery!!!

hozier did not write “to be twisted by something, A shame without a sin” and ���rare is this love keep it covered, i need you to run to me, run to me, lover run till you feel your lungs bleeding.” and “oh but the farrow know, her hungry eye, her ancient soul, its carried by the sneering menagerie.” and “know what it is to grow, beneath her sky, her punishing cold, to slowly learn of her ancient misery” and “but for all he’s worth, he still shatters always on her earth, the cause of every tear she’d ever weep.” and “rushing to the shore to meet her, foaming with loneliness, white hands to fondle and beat her, give her his onliness.” for yall to sleep on it this hard like c’mon 😭😭😭

Work song is fairly Rook returns from the Fade coded

[koravelliumavast]

sometimes artists first albums aren’t their best like they definitely have room to grow and improve and you see it along their other albums. and then there’s hozier.

[babymyleopard]
