“Remember me love when I’m reborn as a shrine to your sharp and glorious thorn” in this portion of the lyric Hozier is trying to get across how changed he feels within his heart after encountering this beautiful and entrancing love he has found. He wishes his new love to recognize and to capture him as his is now because he is weakened by the beauty of these “thorns” in a way that is going to benefit him he believes he is utterly adapt to her because he is this Shrike and she this thorn. He is expressing a willingness to compromise his current persona to fit into her world, just to be apart of her life. However stationary she might be, even in her stubborn, dark, and unwieldiness he is drawn to her. Like the shrike has the natural instinct to use the thorn, Hoizer has this natural instinct to connect and mend to this woman he has discovered. Listen to lyrics again and observe this.
I love the info you put in during the intro. Not many lyrics have that extra touch of effort that separates you, a true fan, from other view-seeking lyric channels. EDIT: holy crap i hadn’t finished the video. Your editing is incredible i love you
I put a *lot* of time and effort into making these so I only have the energy to make very few videos for songs I truly like, so thank you so so much for your comment, it means a lot to me!!!
Omggg someone finally got all the words right!! Thank you thank you!!! I was unsure of a few lyrics and I knew the ones I had been reading through had to be wrong in certain places! This one actually makes sense!!
Kudos for getting all the words right. Moment's Silence is indeed a hard song to make sense of the lyrics, several lyric videos posted have the first verse way off.
I just discovered this song, and it’s wonderful. Thank you for your well-done lyric video with intro on what a shrike is. Not a well know bird in America, and understanding it transforms the imagery.
I love this song…. My fiancé died in December, and it’s been so difficult to try and simply function… I was praying for him, to him, asking for him to talk to me… a huge red tail hawk came swooping down in front of my car behind a blood red sunset, as this song came on 🕊🤍

This is how heaven must feel.
I think all his songs sound like heaven 💙
This song feels like coming home to your lover after a particularly hard day at work and finally being able to hug them.
when you come for the lyrics and you learn about that small beast called shrike wtf that bird is heavy metal

Drove me nuts every one saying bites from above... Really??!
I came here to say the same. Thank you!
I’ve seen hatched by your warmth; highest by your warmth; held by your warmth... How do people not realise it’s housed?
I keep coming back here... Your editing makes listening more magical... Thanks for that.
Thank you so much for your comment!!

I think it's going rather than "gone" with you now.
Amen!
I could listen to this on repeat for eternity
Love this song. Hearing Hozier sings this, it feels like it pierces my heart.
Nice video! Perfect edition and effects... The way that letters move is enchanting... Thank You!

Beautiful 🕊😇
Gorgeous editing, absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much, you pretty thing. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my what a beautiful man.
Beautiful. And the song hasn’t even finished yet 🙏
I love all of Hozier’s music but this song is so incredibly beautiful it’s painful to listen to.
Currently writing a paper on shrikes for undergrad while listening to this
