Hozier Lyrics That Made Me Go Absolutely Feral
Hozier - Wasteland, Baby!

Irish musician Hozier's work is enhanced by his lyrics. He combines blues, indie rock, and pop with poetic lines, often referencing mythology, religion, art, and more. Here are some of my favorites lyrics from his 2 albums, "Hozier" (2014) and "Wasteland, Baby!" (2019).

“I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus when her body was found. I'd be the choiceless hope in grief that drove him underground. I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee that made him turn around. And I'd be the immediate forgiveness in Eurydice. Imagine being loved by me.” - Talk
