"tongue so mean" our boy is getting RIMMED good for him
I had to show this to my history teacher because i was looking through the comments in class bro 🤣
@@SacrificialVirgins bruh
Lmaooo, I just figured she was harsh with her words, I far more prefer your version
WE-
@@SacrificialVirgins dude im literally in history class RIGHT NOW, us history to be exact
hozier’s music: *exists*
lesbians: this is now my property
why is this true. how. 🥸
facts
True
As a lesbian I can confirm that this is accurate
Mine.
this song is so crunchy thanks hozier
agre
I hate how right you are
you described it so well...
cromch a' cromch
Angel of Small Death and the *Crunchy* Scene
*sad bottom noises*
this.
Shhhhutttt upp
*top laughter*
Conflicted switch screeching
I felt that T^T
The gay agenda is strong in these comments
@Ella Kociba pls-
hozier is obviously the man in a lesbian relationship guys
and Lady Gaga the woman in a mlm relationship
@@AsmoBane e x a c t l y
the point of lesbians is that there’s no man lmfao
do you hear that?
That’s the sound of the joke flying over your head
lets commit crime lol clever joke. which is the funny part?
Fun fact: Small death or "La petite mort" is an analogy coined somewhere around 1882 used to describe the sensation of "brief unconsciousness" after an orgasm.
Negrusoiu Razvan:
Suddenly this song's odd sexiness makes so much more sense
I SWEAR I love you for this!
awesome!! been curious
i knew the meaning but didnt know when. do u know by who and where
Negrusoiu Razvan : Wow, awesome. Thank you for that.
Me: yeah, I don't really like it when musicians make songs about sex, it's boring
Hozier:
Me: ah,
AFTIITZ8ZT8TZ LITERALLY
nono-- he makes it sound poetic and good instead of, "SEX MONEY FEELING DIEEEE" or other songs alike this.
@@kryptiddraws2022 yes you get it
Singing about it to bluntly losses its charm
Hut when its poetic like its good and extra points
Same. Turns out that Angel fo Small Death is from some french thing that literally means bringer/messenger of orgams.
Hades singing about Persephone when she returns to the Underworld in the fall.
Gabby Fringette Where does this come from? XD I always see these kind of comments associated with the Tartarus power couple.
@@SSMp315 there's lots of jokes and the like about Hades and Persephone on Tumblr, especially around fall/spring. People also have started associating Hozier with mythological stuff, general supernatural, and of course, with Hades and Persephone. I don't know when it started or why, though.
@@SSMp315 oh, and Florence Welch, too. She's also included in the mythical jokes and Hades/Persephone jokes
Gabby Fringette that sounds so sweet, and I can see why the jokes are directed at him. I need to find more of this, thanks.
@@gabbyfringette7250 that's cause Florence is Persephone and Hozier is Hades. That makes the most sense to me
teacher: you can play whatever songs u want but they cant mention sex or drugs
me:
AJSKAHAJKS THEY LET IT PASS DIDN'T THEY
It mentioned drugs, codiene is a drug
@@totallyrealnotfakelifeadvi7547 thats the point dude
@@Samookely It was not obvious 🤷🏻♀️
@@totallyrealnotfakelifeadvi7547 the joke is that it mentions drugs but it's about sex
He’s like Shakespeare with all his analogy’s, I bet in a couple hundred years people will be talking about him and there’s gonna be some kid like me sitting in the back thinking ‘if only you knew’
nah
Ay nobody knows for sure
Walai true
know what if i may ask
@@venusianpearl how dirty all of his songs are
I once dated a girl in the worst moment in my life. Literally freshly disowned, kicked out of my home, poor, and minutes away from dropping out of school. I Met this insane, mean girl. She meant nothing but chaos, and I fell so hard for her. We were evil together. She raised me up, then pulled me down. With her I felt alive. I had a purpose. I will miss her forever
aight sounds toxic to me brotha but whatever lol
sounds like some wattpad shit, but you do you
this is about heroine isn't it
A Genius toxic as shit bro. Genuinely.
Misfortune it does 😂😂. But it is a true story. Many things “fixed” after a couple of years, but these moments will forever be remembered
this makes me think of a crime duo. she plans and leads everything and he follows faithfully. though he knows it's wrong, hes so caught up in her, he cant help but obey.
also shes probably a top
She's def a top
Def a top
Oh ya, def a top
Same. i have the same imagination about this song
Oh yeah absolutley
Hozier is the only musician ever
to get pegged
The line “it’s bloody and raw but I swear it is sweet” reminds me of the line “the blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine” from his other song Cherry Wine. Coincidence???
I think not
blood, raw, rare, sweet -- all very typical words in poetry. The lyrics are reminiscent of Baudelaire. So yes and no, it's not incidental, but it's very much what could be called a coincidence.
He's a vampire
i mean he did write both of them
i'd think that'd influence how similar they are lol
@@lizzybird142 Wtf, I was thinking the exact same thing after reading the end.
The point is, I’m here because I’m gay
Amen
This is explicable to both gays and Lesbians 😂
Amen
I'm NB but this song is also a vibe
@@ilymusicmaker5352 ok I'll do that
This song is kindda like Take Me To Church's older, hotter brother. Idk if that makes sense tho-
This makes so much sense and I hate it
sense it makes my child
hozier gets pegged
Good for him
he sure does
This song fucks
finally, some good fucking news
Phoenix Blackblood Are you describing the news or are you saying the type of news?
something about this song seems so,,, familiar? but so new, at the same time. i adore it.
as a bisexual my lesbian is coming out in this but I also want to be this woman to a guy
FELT THAT
^^^^THIS
To be an angel of small death or to love an angel of small death, that is the question
Yess 😭
y'all need therapy... and or dick
Scrambled to find this one after hearing a few licks on the blacklist. It's got that southern churchy choir vibe that "take me to church"has so shoulda guessed it was hozier that and of course those great vocals.
There is the pain that he is expressing and a lot of things people are missing
What pain though? This song is about an orgasm
The way the 'hozier' and the title appear with the rhythm is sooooo satisfying
I'm a straight heterosexual guy from the ghetto who also listen's to gherbo or j.cole. yet also love hoziers songs. Shows music's universal feel and I just wanted to comment on that.
Straight and heterosexual mean the same thing; did you mean ‘heterosexual and cisgender male’
Cisgender meaning you aren’t trans
I love this and I think it's cool, but also
Straight heterosexual??
😆
Lol is this gay music or summ? Am I missing something?
@@raulcab.672 Hozier is an artist that a lot of lesbians and women-loving-women really like. His songs generally have the romantic flavor that gay women appreciate
You have incredible taste. I love both Hozier and J. Cole!
Good evening gays how is our bottom yearning on this fine sunset
"tell me you're gay without telling me you're gay" i listen to hozier is that satisfactory
It hurts my brain to think about how many people don’t know this song is literally talking about the angel of sex and drugs😂
We don't need to know. It's a grate song and that's why we are here
Well the magic of music is the many different ways one can interpret it.
What else do they think it is? I think everybody recognizes that its something along those lines
@@maryphantomhive7310 that is really beautiful
man it's literally what the title means
so god damn underrated.....
If only he was more famous than the Kardashians/Jenners, Ariana, Nicki, Beyoncé etc. He has more talent in his little finger than all of them have combined and multiplied by a million
you just named a bunch of female celebrities.. three of them singer/songwriters just like Hosier
+Molly O Callaghan Personally, I think Beyonce does have talent. Her newer stuff I don't particularly care for, but that doesn't mean she isn't talented. Just because you don't care for her doesn't mean she isn't talented.
its HOZIER.
absolutely
listened to this one (1) time and now i'm a lesbian
Saw him in concert!!!!! He was amazing and sure as hell knows how to play guitar!!
Your so lucky 😔
one of the best unofficial lyric videos i've seen--simple, HQ, on beat. absolutely fantastic. thanks for the upload!
thanks for the kind comment!
then you hvent see much x)
Ikr! I love it way more when lyric videos are simple because it's less distraction.
My interpretation of this song is Hozier’s celebration of love and sex, as linked with his other song ‘Take Me To Church’, it explores the pain and pleasure aspect of gay identity.
As in the aforementioned song, Hozier has used the female pronoun to refer to homosexuality as well as his description of ‘my kin’ like the LGBT community being ‘bold’ and ‘boyful’ coining a neologism to describe boyishness which is often related to beauty. “Feeling more human” is very much like Hozier’s line “Only then I am human, only then I am complete.” and the caterpillar to butterfly aspect of them“Shaking the wings of their terrible youths” showing strength growing from pain which is a staple of a community which is widely rejected during youth. The eagerness to join in the community in the second line, “Calling to join them the wretched and joyful” furthers this song’s identity as a celebration of freedom, juxtaposing the “wretched” view from the outsider, and the joyful view of the insider. Showing how differently they define the LGBT community.
“And lease this confusion, I'll wander the concrete
Wonder if better now having survived
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat”
The character has become unambiguous, he is no longer confused. Pondering how his rejection and judgement has hurt him and also made him stronger. The hate and judgement is confusing to the gay character because to him this is the most natural thing in the world. “Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion.” Referring again to Hozier’s antipathy to parental rejection and religious homophobia on these grounds, describing their faith as frozen and the feeling of abandonment ‘Fresh’ as if still hurting.
However the sexual partner of the Angel of Small Death, as Negrusoiu Razvan pointed out, is a reference to orgasm, is described as having “her arms hard and lean” using the juxtaposition of the female pronoun to show her generally masculine features of being ‘hard and lean’ furthering the idea of a celebration of sex between men. The Codeine scene refers to codeine - a painkiller - a metaphor to suggest making love is a healing aspect, blocking out the pain the character has experienced.
The song is by no mean short on indicators of the pain experienced in rejection and revelation of their gay identity but specifically it is a celebration of something homophobes might label as ‘sordid’ but it is being embraced by the ‘I’ personage. The consensual and willing nature of the sex is emphasised again and again. “no protest from me” “With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean” “hooked on her flesh” “The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive”
Finally the sexual imagery is unmistakable in the culmination of the pain and pleasure theme in the chorus. “Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet” defying the popular image of sex being solely negative, and the sweetness of the experience from the perspective of the participant. It encapsulates the pain but also is quick to emphasise this is an intensely pleasurable experience despite the pain.
In conclusion, this song seems to be celebrating the natural, humanising, joyful effect of making love which explains the sexy tone and sensuality as well as the intense emotion of sex from the view of the gay person, examining how the pain and pleasure runs throughout the life of the LGBT community.
That’s a pretty good analysis. Well done!
Whoa.
Thank you for doing that! Your analysis picked up on subtle references and ideas I never would have picked up on it! I hope ur having an awesome day
Whut? Hozier's gay? Apparently I only observe lyrics videos...I really have no idea even what he looks like. But my brain imagination has him looking like a higher testosterone content Russel Brand.
@@rottnlove He looks a bit like an Irish Jesus. He's never disclosed any membership of the LGBT community and co-wrote 'Someone New' with an ex-girlfriend, that doesn't rule out anything, from being Bi to regular old gay with a history. However, his debut hit was Take Me To Church, a condemnation of homophobia (see the video). When interviewed, someone said that many people take Church as a record as his coming out song, and he said “Yes, people do make that assumption (that I am gay), which is fine, but for me I don’t think it’s the point, you know what I mean. It doesn’t come into it what my sexual orientation is,”
“Regardless of the sexual orientation behind a relationship, it is still a relationship and still love... So people are free to make any assumption they want, it’s grand,” he laughed.
My observations were based on the fact he can make gay songs, Church is a testament to that. He makes songs about self-liberation all the time. And he has shown amazing empathy. In reality, it doesn't matter if he's gay or not, I personally believe he's straight/bi (hardcore ally too) and is very secure in it. This is actually just my interpretation of Hozier's song, and that's alright. It doesn't need to be Hozier's meaning, this is just a meaning and what it means to me. And Hozier would probably support this because he's a very artistically minded individual and he's earned a great deal of respect.
The best blend of music and poetry.
Every Hozier song is a work of art. How does he do it...
It's 5am and it's raining outside but i am just sitting here on my bed blessing my ears with this song and admiring the fact that this unbelievably talented man lives on the same planet as me.
I THOUGHT THIS SONG WAS SCARY UNTIL YALL SAID IT WAS ABOUT SEX-
Yuuup. Orgasim means small/little death in French, and codeine is a pain drug, an opioid specifically
What a wild introduction I had to, what's probably, the greatest song written so far in the 2010's... Hearing it to the maturation and fruition run-through scene of Momentum Generation was one of the most polarizing points in a movie I can recall in the last 20 years. What a song and what a group of champions the MG was.
This song is like a shade pinker than magenta. That’s the color I hear with like specks of red
I perceive all his songs with a blueish turquoise colors. This one has some kind of dandelion yellowish tone along with the shades of turquoise which is pretty awesome
I always think this song is like a deep maroonish red with black and splashes of burnt sienna.
It also smells like a burning campfire at 12am
Everyone can have their own perception of songs even though it's written about something else. But this song speaks volumes to me, especially the first verse, as it's basically my crappy life, but it did not define me. I'm growing from it to be a stronger person 💪
Is nobody talking about those opening lines?? 'Cause wow
@@chastaspringman8810 That most of it is wow, I grant you, but my question stands.
A reminder that music is poetry
The point is that I am lesbian
I mean...to each his own..but I feel like this song is about substance abuse...it speaks to each aspect of that journey...being tempted by peers to experiment bc they seem to be enjoying it..then the total all consuming nature of it...then getting away and trying to live outside of it only to relapse...and over it all is this personification of addiction as something both sweet and terrible..full of pleasure and malicious intent...an Angel of small death...slowly killing you with gentle kisses
it's not about that at all, it talks about love, sex and overwhelming passion. "small death" is an expression used to describe the momentary unconsciousness one feels after an orgasm
They lyrics are poetry 😍
Hozier’s songs just connect to me on another level
hozier: "& the codeine scene"
me: *intense throam flashbacks to that codeine scene*
how did ryden find me here
Is it bad that I straight up just think of myself during this song?
Why would that be bad?
Nah that just tells me that you either peg or get pegged
Same tbh
I mean, the song is about a MLW so don't worry
He is straight, but I don't think he minds the sexuality of who listens to it and related to it :)
his most underrated song ever
"...Calling to join them
The wretched and joyful
Shaking the wings
Of their terrible youths..."
Heard this song on a peaky blinders tribute video
Alice Kingslee me too
same!!!!
same!!
same
Same!!
I'm at 3% charge. Wish me luck.
Glad to see you're using that battery wisely
Did you make it to the end of the song?
Its been a year. Are you at least to 10% yet?
Men really do get pegged, huh
Yes, some do.
They sure fuckin do, pal.
and none moreso than hozier
fuck yeah they do
Men👏getting👏pegged👏
"Oh, and there's a woman..."
BangRez Peaky blinders
"...and for a moment, I HAD FUCKIN EVERYTHING....."
this has to be their song
JazzFest New Orleans 2015 and he opened his set with this song. Chills I tell ya....chills!!!!
8-10 what a time to be alive for me. My parents listened to hozier a lot and this my favorite song.
One day I hope to give off the same passionate energy of this song
2:09 this gituar part smacks honestly
Ive listened to this song over and over again for 2 hours now. Can't get enough of it
Oh, I see the Forest God has found his way onto my recommended.
all i can think of is a badass cowgirl.
I feel like my heart is a part of this song!! So precious
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
No more alone or myself could I be
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile
It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
Leash-less confusion I wander the concrete
Wonder if better now having survived
Jarring of judgment and reasons defeat
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
getting to play this at work is a blessing
holy damn the beat is soooooo wonderful
if anyone knows how to depict religious indoctrination and the works in a perfect scenic symphony, it's our man Hozier
The way it just rolls in at 2:10
So smooth....
_Anyone_ else getting a "lached on to this woman after leaving a cult" vibes? No? Ok...
Smooth~ i love the vibes on this one
Time to peg my husband
Mood (even tho I don't have a husband
Good for him
Good for him (and you)
when you have straw-blonde hair... this song makes me feel powerful ;)
Very well done my friend, this is one of the best.
thank you!
I never knew the name of this song and I'm glad I finally found it!
lOVE IT
Good job
ESTOU IMPACTADO COM ESSA MUSICA, MUITO BOA MESMO
Type of music to listen to while walking in the middle of the city when it starts to get dark with all the skyscrapers around you...
It’s bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.
that second chorus just goes harder every time i listen to it
This is so good.
Had to pause at 'toying somewhere between love and abuse' DaMN!
rue thinking about jules (euphoria)
Great artist
I love the song
Best hozier song
I love this song when happy 😃
He was at New Orleans JazzFest in 2015 and kicked it off with this song. It was fucking EPIC!!!!!
Great lyric video, subscriber alert
thanks man! i really hope i'll be able to do more stuff soon
Any •Peaky Blinders• fan here because of the edition for Thomas Shelby?
All hail a lesbian god, we Stan. It's chill if u don't, there's always kioko and Sapho herself
_this song sounds like it could be from Lucifer_
Omg this is my ish!
I have broken your theory for I am in fact straight
For now...
@@tabathamoonstone8633 I legit font know...I only have gay friends...but they say I'm the gayest one...idk
you're the kind of straight ally that ends up so very gay, like, so so gay…
I think were the same person…
I just like Hozier's music. I didn't realise there were LGBTQ+ connotations.
@@em12837 it's a misconception actually. He is a MLW so his songs are about that. He just made a video spreading awareness about our LGBTQ problems and people did not read well the lyrics to understand what the song was about and how it has a separate meaning from the video.
I listen to Hozier and I do not think his songs has a queer connotation, though I feel happy he supports us ♡♡♡
hozier is the musician ever
These needs to be longer.
This is a big bop
0:52 is my fav part❤
No doubt it's talking about lovers but...I think it's talking about how someone came out and was disowned, but they found someone who is the same sexual orientation and hooked up/moved in. Before they did meet and or the person is reminded of the days they wandered after being disowned unsure if they were going to be able to live while they are having a make out session but now they have a reason to live and that is there lover who gave their life meaning again
You can't convince me that him rhyming "lean" with "codeine scene" isn't 100% an intentional pun.
O love this song ❤️💘🤩
amazing
This song is nice
I...I...thought it was...”sweet-ass” breath
this song is pretty durn cool. :]
this song is one where you can slow it and it’s still good
