I think this song is an anti capitalist anthem..Yes, in this system those are the choices given to us, but there ARE other things to do, like farming, crafting, providing care or a.service , creating, art etc - and he's saying that we need to stop accepting the status quo as if it's a.foregone conclusion that there are no other options. If you'll notice, he is neither a salesman nor a soldier.himself. Oh and butcher is another reference to soldier and pauper is an Irish/slightly antiquated term for a poor person. Hozier has incredible music. I honestly don't think there's a bad one among his releases. He has some deep lyrics and uses a lot of literary and mythology references that go over my head. His voice is incredible. Enjoyed the reaction!
Hozier is a true original, a poetic songwriter with some big things to say and an integrity that's so old school it's all new again. For me, the message of the song is that greed is at the bottom of everything wrong in our world. Enjoyed your reaction! Please react to more from his catalog. There's isn't a mediocre song to be found. Maybe your next Hozier reaction could be Francesca, a passionate, tragic love story.

I love his song 'Take me to church'. For the rest I dont know anything about him
Take me to church is only the surface. If anybody wrote a song for me the way he does I’d die. He is a lyrical genius
Well if you even like that song a lil bit, always worth giving his other stuff a shot. Nothing to lose, and only more songs to love, to gain!
