My first thought when I heard the rawness and the way it flowed meant one thing and only one thing, a beautiful union of two people, yes f-ing but so much more. Just pure love and passion and giving yourself and that moment when you climax she is .... your church. But not to just a significant other, this is his goddess, his queen, his true love and hopefully a soulmate.
As for the video....I highly doubt he is gay. The song is about a perfect moment with the right person, and Hozier loves gospel music but disagrees with constraints of the church. It was a slight undertone that the video based it on but the meaning doesnt change. I must admit I don't like seeing guys kiss even though I have been in Bisexual situations in my youth, but because of the song all i saw was love.
This is one of the best artist I have heard in a long long time. His talent isn't one thing specific, its the passion, lyrics and temperament and flow... it is how we all can relate to it. Listen to "work song".. and you will know his other side, regret. Passion and truth and I respect him for admitting a argument gone awry. His other song I think Eden is about her being crazy..
All of his lyrics are about a dysfunctional love.... A woman he adores but everything has gone astray.
The words are taken from an old Soviet prison prayer.

I think the song is talking about a change,a change that he didn't like and it's hard for him to accept it he is trying to change it but he is powerless against the change like a child who is powerless against his parents whims. Also it's implied that he hates unremorseful people,maybe it's the one who caused the change,or the ones that don't care about his painful change.

writing in Jan 2026. I have always loved the dual thanks and warning messages to the US. Considering how divided we are now I'm skeptical that we can "lift up your heart, make a new start And lead us away from here" I pray to God that we can. I don't want to contemplate the alternative!

Married July 1974 with this song played just before our vows. The priest was a little hesitant but let us do it. In the end he thought it was pretty cool. So did we!

Kuhio804 is close about the song meaning - it is about the Broadway neighborhood John grew up in and the local bars that use to be there (a lot weaker than it use to be) he makes reference to the how locals would sit and drink their problems away, next generation follows what the old man did- talks about the cowboy (was an actual bar in buffalo in his neighborhood) known for local bands - sad he doesn’t mention more - sheeben, Bronx zoo, and shadracks- those places rocked back in the day.

Kuhio804 is close about the song meaning - it is about the Broadway neighborhood John grew up in and the local bars that use to be there (a lot weaker than it use to be) he makes reference to the how locals would sit and drink their problems away, next generation follows what the old man did- talks about the cowboy (was an actual bar in buffalo in his neighborhood) known for local bands - sad he doesn’t mention more - sheeben, Bronx zoo, and shadracks- those places rocked back in the day. The neighborhood has changed a lot from a polish community to deep poverty and crime, mixed immigrant and black neighborhood now. This is what John is saying in the song about how it has changed. (From Buffalo - Go Bills !)
