I think its written from an artists point of view. They take inspiration from strangers. "Only blue or black days Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose" The blue or black days represent sadness and death/mourning respectively, and the artist sees the tragedies that others face and use them as inspiration for a song or work of art. He falls in love with a snippet of a strangers life, and uses that love to create. "Would things be easier If there was a right way, honey there is no right way" This verse is the artist explaining his inspiration, taken from the misery and tragedy of others, by saying that there is no right way to be inspired. |

| Hozier – Jackie and Wilson Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I hear this as the story of a summer fling. A guy is high(red eyed) and is hanging with fellow low-lifes at a bar and a woman comes in and quickly leads to a meaningless fling. They're reckless and irresponsible and both know how it isn't going to last and its a quick and shallow passion. In a short time, they're apart again and the guy is left to use their tiny romance as inspiration. | |
| Regina Spektor – The Sword and the Pen Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I hear it as someone is in love with someone who is in poor health, and there is a chance that their sick lover might pass away. In the beginning, it eludes to the fact that the physical kisses are limited and that they have something to fear. The death from above was bitterness about the idea of a God choosing to kill and man, and even if it was a divine choice, it was still horrifying on earth. "I don't wanna live without you"- dreading the chance of death. |
