Lyrics
You only feel it when it’s lost
Getting through still has a cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Falling from you drop by drop
What I had left here
I just held it tight
So someone with your eyes
Might come in time
To hold me like water
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
We’re born at night
So much of our life
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far,
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It’s who we are
You and I burned out our steam
Chasing someone else’s dream How can something be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems?
Darling, we sacrificed
We gave our time to something undefined This phantom life sharpens like an image
But it sharpens like a knife
We’re born at night
So much of our life
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far,
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It’s who we are
You only feel it when it’s lost
Getting through still has its cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
Falling from you drop by drop

"Hold me like water or Christ, just hold me like a knife" So desperate, disappointed, heartbreaking. I adore how Hozier puts across his feelings so we can feel them alongside him
It's my fave part of the song 😍
It’s everyone’s favourite part ❤
"Getting through still has a cost." Exactly. What doesn't kill you doesn't necessarily make you stronger.
Yes it does.
It makes you stranger
It does make you stronger, if you choose not to dwell on the past
@@stargazing7977 Yeah, that's it, we can "choose" to have traumas (it's like picking flowers, obviously). "Choose" to be happy when we're being brutalized, humiliated and so on. It's called denial and it leads to mental health complications ! But thanks for your ideological speech ! (cf. Ehrenreich's "bright-sided" or Illouz's "happycracy)
Or how bmth put it, what doesnt kill you, makes you wish you were dead
That reminds me that he’d semi-joked years ago that heartbreak is best for the songwriting process. He said if in love, you want to spend your time just being happy, and not analyzing it. The second album, which was also amazing, was clearly written by a man in love, but this album tears your heart out.
I think you just explained why I fall apart listening to this album
I totally agree, last album was good but this one puts me in mind of the greats, so personal, I have listened to this album daily since it’s release and resonates with so many lyrics. Genius
@@lisadavis8418 It literally hurts to imagine someone hurting & betraying this man, who is the epitome of a good man. Kind of unreal (unearth).
this is the first I'm truly checking hoziers discography I'm not into love love songs but this one this is lit!!! He's a phenomenal lyricist! @@lisadavis8418
@@musiclover-cu5jy sometimes hurt doesn't come from betrayal, but from the expectations we put on others.
his lyrics are always so poetic
You only feel it when it's lost
Gettin' through still has a cost

Falling from you drop by drop

Welcome .Once you go the Hozier way , there's no way out.The only way out is going in deeper.
@@leburuleburu8927you need to help me understand how the hell I get there in one piece
One of the ways to get there is by listening to "No Plan"; Listening to "Be" listening "Sunlight"
@@accommodatingalternativeinc
You don't. But you'll recognize that the broken pieces needed to be a little shattered by this man's poetry
"How can something be so much heavier, but so much less than what it seems?"
This line has me shaking and rethinking once again whatever I'll make out of my pass through Earth. All we do to be remembered is futile, a human life is meaningless in a universal scale; and yet we carry the burden of knowing ourselves ephemeral, mortal, of being bearers of entire worlds and philosophies that will be lost to an eternity uncaring of how precious they were to us.
I find comfort in knowing that today, in 2023 human years, we are still finding pieces of a far Earthy past that helps us understand how we got to our point in time. There is something so magical in understanding the value of dust on a plant, a tiny seed floating through the air, space, eternity.
It will not be lost as we believe it to be. Someone, somewhere down the line will hear this music and feel the same way, and think the same thing. In that sense, human relatability lasts forever, in that sense, the love lasts forever. You and countless others will be immortalized in that love. It's what we leave behind :)
take all this up with god hozier is the devil
THIS THIS THISSS
Wow😢your comment made me cry😢
This one hit like a ton of bricks for me. I love Hozier, and it's both horrifying and beautiful that his own heartbreak is expressed so elegantly in his music
I saw part of an interview yesterday and he looked so sad. I realize that I don't know him on a personal level, but I am sad for him.
Me, too. I felt so sad to see his eyes well up.
@@glendakurkimaki5834Can I ask which interview? He’s an amazing artist and I love watching interviews with him to catch a glimpse of how he is as a person. He seems to be a really lovely human being.
@glendakurkimaki5834 I've seen this interview on TikTok too. My tears just rolled down my face. I know that kind of pain.
Perfeita definição
This song isn’t getting the amount of attention it deserves. This while album is incredible.
That "hey" bit is indescribable. It reminds me of something ancient almost primal speaking to the soul. Like a wounded animal crying out. So much pain and longing. Damn its beautiful
I don't know who made the loud shouting sounds at the middle part, but good God. That was like the voice of an arrow cutting through Hellfire, up to God's hand. That was like all my pain erupting from me in sound. Like my heart tearing open, my mind as well, and the hurt gushing forth sounding _human,_ instead of making me into an unholy creature for feeling it or carrying it. Whether it was Andrew or another, that was a magnificent thing to put in this song.

I never laid my ears on such poetry in my life
I can't believe he just posted that and expected us to be like. Normal now. Like what no I need to decompose.
fell to my knees and wept like a newborn when i heard this song.
These videos are so funny because you just get to watch hozier attempt to position a flower in his mouth for 4 minutes straight and then there’s like supper kickass music 😭
hozier's lyrics always speak to the primal part of my being. now that's ability. that's skill. thank you for relevealing in me what i'd hidden.
i'm only a casual listener of this guy but i've had this song on repeat for the past day or so ever since i found it while listening through the album and holy shit dude do the chords in this one itch my brain. i know everyones talking about the lyrics but the way this song is composed sonically is a work of art all in itself and i just came here to say that this is awesome and will probably be cementing itself in my psyche permanently. fantastic work, dude, thank you for what you do n keep it up
I'm also just a casual listener but this album's songs have not yet, since release, left the confines of my head. When the RUclips winter music analysis came the top songs were all from the album. This man is amazing
The overall harmony of elements damnnnn.
proof that you cannot be a 'casual' hozier listener, he will capture you
proof that you cannot be a 'casual' hozier listener, he will capture you
This feels like the score to the emotional climax of a film. The haunted longing of something that will never return, at least not in the form that it used to be
this has to be my favourite song on the album by far
If someone asks me what song I believe shows what it’s like to be human it’s this one, this song is amazing I have no words. All of us are trying to hold onto our lives but it’s slipping from us and wishing for others to hold onto us, not caring if it’s gentle like water or hurtful like knifes. Trying to live and survive thinking we’re doing so much, only to realize we’re barely making a scratch and not knowing what we’re truly doing completely in the dark and scrambling. We burning ourselves out on what other people want, some us being forced to be extensions of themselves to accomplish their dreams. We sacrificed so much for nothing but a phantom of a life and it’s sharp like an image but hurts like a knife. I can’t with this song it’s so human, this is what it’s like to be human! God!!
Hozier came into my life like a bullet, one of those that you can't remove without dying. I'm obsessed. I listened to De Selby-1 a thousand times. And just when I was almost feeling sick, this one appears. I cried a lot when I heard it the first time. It's an anthem. Hozier is an alien.
I lost my dad this year. And I know this song isn’t about grief. But I read his lyrics so personally to my dad. My dad always said music is so powerful. And he was so right. This song hits so hard like a punch to the gut
I feel that it IS about grief.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad last year too, also a big music lover. He would have loved this album. Sending you all the love during this horrible time 🖤
Omg, same
So sorry for your loss
As always, so profound and beautiful. Those vocals near the end sent me to another world.
The piano the dark atmosphere who turned slowly into hope is so wonderful
This. SONG. It hits you like a wave of emotions. I love it so much. I'm so grateful to be here for Hozier's music. It's truly a gift.
Hes only gone and done it again, dropping masterpieces on masterpieces. Don't know why I'm surprised each time, im convinced he physically cant make a bad song
I need Good Omens mv with this song now.
YES
Oh buddy your not alone with that 😢 I need it as much as you do
YOU'RE NOT ALONE!!!
i think this is my favorite on the album so far. the high note makes me tear up every time 😭😭
His voice, HIS VOICE, PLEASE
Still one of the best songs I've found to scream in existential anguish to while flying down the motorway 😂❤
My girlfriend of 11 years broke up with me in late August. This song's release timing is strangely impeccable. And god is it beautiful. Its pacing and rhythm and lyrics, coupled with his voice, just hits different. This might be one of his best songs imho.
My girl and i just vibing to this man bless you all, all love from ohio.
ohio clubbb
...the emotions his music invoke and invite are such a gift.
This song feels like a bittersweet realisation of ones mortality and flaws
I really love the high pitched note that Hozier does in this song. It cuts deep, like a scream of grief
This song is everything
This song, Francesca and first light are my top three so far
Edit- adds Abstract to the top faves as well
My favorite one off the album
Far and away. It’s actually magnificent. His screaming, soaring voice over the instrumental is angelic
Been losing a lot of persons lately. Loss upon loss upon loss to death, to life. IT IS ASTOUNDING how this giant numbs me poker-faced throughout his lyrics. Then he does that war cry and I fucking lose it.
I am just so very glad I get to exist at the same time hozier does and to be here as he releases pure art into the world
Idk why i love listening to this song especially at 3am. Makes me sob! ILY Andy, thank you for your beautiful work 💜
I sincerely hope it becomes a single and has a music video and is exploited to the fullest, because, ladies and gentlemen, what a song! WHAT SONG!
WHAT A SONG INDEED
THE LYRICS OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one. This one is my favorite in the album.
I feel like I'm speared straight directly in my heart🥲
More ppl need to hear this masterpiece
The great neoplatonician philosopher Plotinus said "never stop sculpting your own statue". And it's a good piece of advice. But Hozier adds a litlle thingy : but remember that "we carve it through the dark". So deep !
Omg I’ve been waiting so long this album is SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED AND HOPED❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i rarely get chills from music but this gave me consistent chills 😭🥰
This hits hard. Every. Single. Time.
So far on my listen through this is by far and away the best. This is ridiculously good and magical and it punches through your soul
I agree. I have been listening to the album non-stop and this one is my fav. I can listen now and not cry!
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
Falling from you drop by drop
😣
"What I had left here I just held it tight so someone with your eyes might come in time to hold me like water or christ hold me like a knife" I absolutely love this
this is absolutely devastating and i needed it
this is my favorite on the album so far, though I'm only halfway through...every song has been phenomenal
OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS SO UNDERATED
The end of this songs.... f you didn't cry ur lungs out because of his voice, then how did you survive it?
With God. Definitely of the divine.
i screamed ow at this song it's hurting me physically help
Loving this new album from the best singer of our times, thank you for these masterpieces Hozier
This song, this album, this man is absolutely beautiful 🤍
Ouch! Why do these songs hurt but I can't stop listening?
This is my favorite song of the album, and for me its one of the deepest songs that hit my soul.
This background singer!!!!! Incredible
I just went through a terrible breakup, I thought I was over it but this album hit me hard 😢 and now I blame Hozier for all my emotional breakdown 😂 just start sobbing in the middle of the night, in the corner of my room (in a good way)
I need this song injected into my veins
One of the most relatable remarkable songs in my life ❤ thank you,love @hozier
You’re my voice when I can’t find the voice to speak anymore
Oh my gosh I love this
I fall apart listening to this song. So beautifully written, so powerful and heartfelt. I can relate so deeply. The genius behind all of his song writing astonishes me; you can FEEL the heartbreak and sorrow behind his words and voice. It’s palpable. The line “Hold me like water, or Christ, hold me like a knife” really stands out to me. When someone holds water, they’re delicate, careful not to spill it. Often, they hold water because they NEED IT. A knife? They hold it roughly, firm grip on the handle, and it’s always used to tear something apart, whether or not it’s a human. It’s a weapon we CHOOSE to use because we WANT to destroy something, which could also elude to being used/taken advantage of. So Hozier is figuratively and literally begging to be held no matter what the circumstance, intention, or manner in which it’s done is. It also stands out to me because of how much the two objects being compared contrast eachother. Nourishing and Harmful, Life and Death, Needed and Chosen, Tool and Weapon, Mend and Destroy. Water and Knives embody polar opposites. Another meaning it could have is the way he’s viewed; associating him with water, which is good and keeps you alive, or regarding him as a knife, which hurts you and anything else it’s pit against. He’s wanting them to see him in a positive light, but he disappointedly accepts the alternative.
I thank God for a lot of things and mostly because I have your music, Hozier.
Hozier has been rummaging around in my fever dreams again.
This is a fave so far, something about it just makes me want to cry
The only man in the world i know of to enhance my brain to find this this horrifyingly beautful song as sad as it was intended to be when written
Thank god i'm alive to feel this. Thanks Hozier!
Mother of pearl. Mother of pearl! 💯✨️💖✨️💯
As someone who try to follow my family believes and just ands up being left out and now listening to my where l come from believes this hits hard
this is so azircrow coded
hurts doesn't it
ah yes I have found my people
Thats literally top level hozier and hozier is a top level artist
Sing it baby!!
he is insane for this
This album is crazy good!!
Wish he would’ve played this recently at his concert…. The heyyyyy yayyyyyy hey hey would’ve been cool using a megaphone pointed at the mic.

He does speak the truth, and we MUST listen!

This song hits the spot. New favorite

This song sends me to the void
You only feel it when it's lost

Can't stop crying because love is often only truly appreciated when it is lost...😢
So many Where is my Mind vibes
Again and again with the masterpieces…
My chest! Thank you for punching me in my heart and keeping me alive :)
Amazing just amazing
My 8 year old daughter has decided this is her favorite song. She wont fall asleep until she listens to it.
I LOVE you, Andrew
His voice is so magical
