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 :)

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

Enchanting is a great way to put it. It's uplifting and introspective. In the wake of the horrific imagery, it has a saccharine feel of inevitability, and regret. Be it human nature or not, it didn't have to be this way. All we had to do was make the world a better place for those who come after us. The most barebones of compassion. Believing humanity is capable of so much better tastes so much sweeter than the bitter reality that we allow every day.

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.

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❤

It's like he's singing from the perspective of an ancient primordial demon assuming the form of an advisor to a greedy and easily manipulated monarch of old, presenting himself as charming and appealing to the monarch's most base and selfish desires. Under his influence, the monarch brings their kingdom to ruin, and the demon just delights in the chaos and corruption the entire time. This song is magnificent.

"Alright, so we start with a thing that is perfect for thirst trap videos to hook them in, and then it is actually a song about climate change, generational violence, and exploitation" is such an incredible move.

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.

Being a sociology major and all too familiar with all the ways humanity can fuck over their own never ceases to be disturbingly dark. Greed is a hell in it's own, when there's nothing left to "eat" except your own blood money I hope in the most poetic and brutal way that they choke on it.
