In a Week Lyrics

Cover art for In a Week lyrics by Hozier

I always interpreted this as two lovers getting stuck in a bog and slowly becoming one with the earth alongside one another. I take it as them "being home" is like the afterlife where they can be together once more.

My Interpretation

@Grace30 Thank you for this! My interpretation was exactly correct then. Not to say the other interpretations were incorrect as I have found Hozier to be somewhat of an etymologist who loves to play on words. He will make one statement that has multiple meanings. A true artist! When Shakespeare said to die in his poems he often meant to orgasm. How fabulous it is for both parties to be completely spent. What a slumber! And yes time does stand still and who knows if it has been minutes, hours or daze! Absolutely erotic and fascinating song❣️
