Lyrics:
I’m starving, Darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Start carving, Darling
I want to smell the dinner cooking
I want to feel the edges start to burn
Honey, I
Want to race you to the table
If you hesitate
The getting is gone
I won’t lie
If there’s something to be gained
There’s money to be made
Whatever's still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It's quicker and easier to eat your young
You can’t buy this fineness
Let me see the heat get to it
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
It’s a kindness, Highness
Crumbs enough for everyone
Old and young are welcome to the meal
Honey, I'm
Making sure the table’s made
We can celebrate
The good that we’ve done
I won’t lie
If there’s something still to take
There is ground to break
Whatever's still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It's quicker and easier to eat your young

Hozier releasing a song that sounds like the sexiest thing on the planet and it actually being about older generations exploiting the younger generation is so perfectly on brand. Fucking obsessed
@Mazie bb bb bb t b b b
@Glinda H You Could be Right,
But I'll Take 44 Likes.
@Who Cares can't get pregnant but still can get illnesses 😃
@Who Cares just reading your comment I feel uncomfortable and disgusted. I really don't wanna think about it.
The marketing of this song, the one clip we were all obsessed with before this released, draws us in under this false pretense of sexuality and heat. Only for Hozier to hit us with yet another moral and political narrative. Drawing people in with the lure of sex (one of the 7 sins referenced in the song ;) ) to send them home with a message about exploitation and the abuse of power is genius. Hozier never ceases to be not only a musical mastermind, but an incredible representative of the people.
That part of the song could very much represent the fact that some men are getting older and older, but their partner's ages remain the same (around their twenties), which leads to relationships with a huge power imbalance, and it can be another form of depredation, or "eating your young".
make me known as him
Hozier is the only person alive that can make gluttony sound like lust
@Pasha Righton lyrics are sorta about exploitation, not gluttony
@steveshadforth it directly references 'A Modest Proposal', the satirical essay advising the potato-blight-afflicted Irish that if they have too many mouths to feed, to start selling the spares as extra meat. 'Seven New Ways to Eat Your Young'- A Modest Proposal lists seven ways to prepare a fresh child carcass (6 food preparations, plus skinning them for gloves and boots). It uses cannibalism as a metaphor, but the cannibalism imagery is everywhere.
The song uses cannibalism as a metaphor for war profiteering cannibalizing children (skinning the children for a war drum, putting food (dead kids) on the table selling bombs and guns), and the elite/elder generations cannibalizing the social safety net so the younger generation doesn't get to benefit (pull up the ladder when the flood comes), and developers/colonizers cannibalizing the societies they take over (wrap my teeth around the world, there is ground to break)
@literally no one in English please?
@steveshadforth really do be tt
“Come and get some, skinning the children for a war drum” is so horrifying and poignant these lyrics are incredible
Bar
@DOIT Game Company so what is with the skinning of children is he making references to sacrificing?
😅😅😅
You don't see too many artists stepping out of the classic love ballads and writing what is just pure form of art and poetry! Hozier has done it again! Much love from Bangladesh
this man’s ability to conjure up such bewitching lyrics and vocally transmit each emotion is a feat not only of masterful musicianship, but also of magic.
Hozier was made by a woman bc God is a woman 💁♀️
Well the man is Irish, he might very well be a bit Fae.
@Peter period
Witchcraft
The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. Lamentations 4:10
This man doesn't have one bad song. Every single song of his is absolutely amazing
On god
@mel Y
@mel y
@mel y
i queef now.
38 mins straight of just this song over and over as I drove to work. Started with: omg how he says darling, “get some” frick that’s hot.
Then on the third time I really listened to the lyrics and was like “oh….OH” of course Hozier makes a song about for profit war and my animal brain thinks it’s hot. I’ve now listened to it like 15 times and it’s so powerful. Why spend time raising your kids just to let them die in a war for money when you can just eat your young.
Ah, yes. The classic Hozier "I'll turn you on, babe, but also, let's recall the horrific implications of unchecked late stage capitalism. All my love to you. Back to being sexy."
You know, that Hozier.
I will be everywhere you go
Hozier never disappoints. The timing and message of this song are impeccable. Reminds me of A Modest Proposal essay too
The reference is intentional, Hozier is Irish.
@Ava Combs my english teacher assigned it right before Thanksgiving Break and swore us to not speak about it until after school on that Friday
It's got such a good message and it's a shame that such similar methods need to be used in order to showcase the relevance it still holds
I had to read a modest proposal for my English class a few days before this song came out and it was the first thing I thought of when I heard this song. It’s sad how relevant that piece of literature remains today
It's a Provocative Proposal now modest goes unheard these days
Listening to this song makes me feel like I've just drank water after 10 years of thirst
That probably means you can relate to the song, which is really sad in this case 😦😦
Ironically, this song makes me so thirsty i crave anything to quench it
I’m picturing a wet skeleton
i dunno what crack this man puts in his music but *god damn* ive been unable to stop listening on loop since they released, im afraid its my new personality now
"It's quicker and easier to eat your young" is *incredible*
As mentioned I also think it could be in reference to Swift's satire (which I had to read in English when I didn't know what satire was, so believed Swift was being completely genuine)
But (and this could be complete coincidence, and have nothing to do with the song) many animals will actually eat their young when under attack. I remember learning that hedgehogs will eat their own babies because in their minds their children will be eaten anyway by the creature attacking them, and the hedgehog doesn't want to waste a free meal.
Lots of other species, like harpy eagles, will abandon their young if they can't fend for themselves, because it's easier to just start from scratch and raise a new chick.
So what Swift was (satirically) suggesting, and what humans do (shift responsibilities onto the younger generations, or try to essentially trivialise their input and views on society) can be found in the natural world
I'm sorry. This was a very long reply, but I love learning about the natural world.
It's a reference to the satirical article "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift which was written during the Irish Famine (genocide) explaining numerous ways to resolve famine by eating your children.
@Luis Manuel Reséndiz Olvera I propose you read "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift
@Luis Manuel Reséndiz Olvera I've been interpreting it as children, or just the younger generation. The actions of the older generations which are inspired by greed and gluttony are causing the destruction of the younger generation, so it would be "quicker and easier" to just eat them.
what that does mean? His youth or his children?
He never fails to amaze me. In such a unique way, he talks about how the choices we make are harming and killing our children, that it would simply be easier to eat them than to have them suffer through the world
No he's talking about the children that pUtin saved in Youkraine and they were being harvested for their blood organs etc and adreNo chrome
@meepmoopmeep1 I think your interpretation makes more sense than this being a pro-child-eating song lmao
I don't think he necessarily means it's better to eat them, rather he's saying that by doing all these things, you may as well be eating them. Meaning all these bad choices are equivalent to the horror of eating your young.
I have felt we are guilty of these for decades.
Lyrics are so grotesque yet so poignant, while the music behind is so groovy - I LOVE IT
“It’s a kindness, Highness” actually took my breath away
He's a genius for releasing the thirsty part of the song forst to get people engaged with the song and then it has such a heavy message
My God that chorus might actually be his best yet as far a catchy-ness goes. Combine that with the absolutely chilling lyrics and we have a contender for his best work yet!
@Chris Fraser I understand, and you're right. I hold the same view. There's a saying between Christians that a church isn't a lounge for saints but a hospital for sinners.
@Princess Leah oh no im melting
@Kyle O god, g o d, gOd
@Kyle O The Bible is a beautiful Book indeed. The Church, in it’s humanity, is a force of both good and bad in different iterations and reasonings. That is, in my opinion
@Chris Fraser hypocrisy - i am against it as well. It makes for a bad case and doesn't align with what the bible teaches. Many of the atrocities/controversies you might know are also condemned in the bible.
How can a song be both chill and chilling? Wow.
It leaves you an opening, welcoming feeling so that you listen but then slams you with chilling truth of your actions or what can be better if we stopped somethin
Because it simply dares to speak the truth like a prayer from the depths of a gentle soul…..
A masterful reflection on generational trauma. I've been listening to Hozier since Take Me to Church when I was young, and he's only been getting better since - Eat Your Young is nothing short of continuing that trend.
@Ayo Olukoga the script goes on repeat, and the word ,,siege,, has very much similarities with what happened while ago and what's coming again. but majority of people are totally blind by the magic and surface level, but you definitely see ,pal
Wamenya bho
@Cassie ksn
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee. Deuteronomy 28:53
Saaame
this hits different when you've just started therapy for all the generational trauma your family's had, and subsequently put you through. such an amazing song, could not have come at a better time. love hozier so much
Hozier releasing this music is an act of kindness, highness🧎♀️
Never waited more impatiently for a song to come out. I love it.
Hozier's lyricis are unbeatable. They almost always have a melody that sounds sound like you could dance the bed-tango to it but the words in it are nothing to do with that, it's something deeper, darker. And I love him for that.
Talent just oozes from this man
All 3 songs are genuinely incredible. If the rest of the album is this good, it's gonna easily be the best one yet
@cil uoduod through me (the flood) and all things end
what are the other 2
@korbaisblessed how do you mean? Wasteland, Baby! Is out and is a masterpiece.
Edit: I get what you mean now I just misunderstood the phrasing. Apologies.
@Deezy unreal earth!!!!! Later this year!!!
@tulip all things end
I'm starving, darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Start carving, darling
I wanna smell the dinner cooking
I wanna feel the edges start to burn
Honey, I wanna race you to the table
If you hesitate, the getting is gone
I won't lie, if there's something to be gained
There's money to be made, whatever's still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
It's quicker and easier to eat your young
You can't buy this fineness
Let me see the heat get to it
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
It's a kindness, Highness
Crumbs enough for everyone
Old and young are welcome to the meal
Honey, I'm making sure the table's made
We can celebrate the good that we've done
I won't lie, if there's something still to take
There is ground to break, whatever's still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
It's quicker and easier to eat your young
Something that I adore about this is the use of the phrase "Come and Get Some" because based on tone and context it can mean either an invitation to dinner or a promise of violence
It was released an hour ago, I think I’m on my 100th listen? We are witnessing greatness in the making with every new Hozier song. Congratulations Mr Andrew Hozier Burns, he’s done it again👌
@Riddhi Thakkar I know, I was joking.
@Mani They were using exaggeration to make their point. wasn't meaning literally.
@Rebecca he put it on 6.7x speed.
@Rebecca great job. You completely misunderstood my comment and point, but there’s always one🙄
This sounds so corny but I think I genuinely felt a shiver up my spine when the implications of these lyrics hit me. I am a young queer man who grew up in America and this hit home. Beautifully written and executed, much love Hozier! Thank you for writing for those who can't or don't know how.
Aw same mate I'm a young queer transmasc who's currently unable to get out of America, and y e a h
Another thought provoking hit from this lyrical genius!
hozier can never do ANYTHING wrong. the man’s an absolute gem
I am the 800th like
This makes me want to move my body in a way that is in complete conflict to the words I’m hearing. The meaning I take and take from this song filling a dark void that I hold separate from the hope, optimism and love for humanity.
Beautiful and conflicting.
What to do with these feelings, I wonder.
Why I am addicted to this song! What a masterpiece🤌 & also how smoothly it opens us to the terrifying truth about the generational trauma which is being recieved n transmitted in a never ending manner; so, it's better to eat your young. End the cycle
Happy birthday Andrew! Thank you for bringing these wonderful songs into our lives ❤
I’ve been obsessed with Hozier’s music since 2019 and waited for new songs to come … it was definitely worth the wait !
The music video for this is going to be incredible
Hozier did it again…This is fire !
I’ve been so unbelievably excited for this song since I first heard the clip and god this mans music could never let me down
frrr
I am in love with those lyrics, Hozier is as poetic as always, but can we also take a moment to appreciate that chorus? the only singer who can make me jam to a song about eating children
My mind and my body are at war over how to react to this masterpiece.
My favorite artist ever. Hozier’s music has got me through a LOT. When I felt like I had nobody, I found comfort and belonging in his music and I will always be grateful for how much it has helped me over the years. I’ve been waiting all day to put my headphones on and sit back for my first listen and while I expected it to be amazing, I’m still blown away at how he just can’t miss. Thank you, Hozier, for blessing us with more of your beautiful music❤
Albums gonna be the death of me 3 songs already took me to the edge of existence
Buckle up! I just heard him say the album will consist of 17 or 18 songs, including this one.
Modern music with Shakespearean quality lyrics. I love this man.
How he’s able to evolve his sound and his voice fits always is amazing
First time I'm hearing this artist...dope AF!
Props to anyone that uses their platform to make thought provoking music. ❤
You were all right, his other stuff is awesome!
Oh you gotta listen to more of him
You gotta listen to more of his stuff, i promise you it’ll be worth it!
If you like this you'll love his other music
This is outrageously beautiful and clever and so so lovely
Amazing song as usual😌😍
Hozier's style of music and how he wrote his lyrics make me want to write an entire book about it
I've had the same favorite song for years!!! It was bumped to second place once I heard this masterpiece. I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes the entire song. It has been on repeat for the last 45 minutes!
@A Swanson Happy Man by Jungle!
What's the other song?
The very first Hozier songs I’ll listen to on time (discovered him a year ago) 💚 I’ll cherish this moment forever
I think I ascended into a different plane of existence while listening to this. Well worth the wait-
Hozier simply does not have an ability to create bad music
When the world needed him most, he came back.🤧
Já tinha lágrimas em meus olhos apenas com a parte instrumental.. aí, aí Hozier e a sua capacidade de fazer arte
Lyrics gave me goosebumps
In Hozier we Trust 🙏🏼
Amen.
Song’s incredible - love everything about it! 💚🖤🫶🏻
Very powerful lyrics once again...this guy just seems to understand what's happening in the world & writes a song about it in a way that is catchy but also eye-opening 10/10
“skinning the children for a war drum” made my jaws drop omg Hozier I love you
Lyrics are genius
Good bluesy disco vibe. I love how you treat the artistry of guitar as a black art first and every beautiful breath you take is in homage to those beautiful bones of rock and roll. Keep the blues in ya hozier. I love your art.
Also Thank you for keeping trans rights in your heart. These days people seem utterly complicit in our destruction, be it blind eye, arrogance, or ignorance all seems lost most days. Your voice is honey to the sore soul these days.
I fall in love with this man a little more every time he released a new song 💛
I've been having this on repeat since the first seconds on TikTok appeared and I CAN'T AND WON'T stop listening to this.
Wonderful writing and vocal's are so on point.
I love that in almost every song Hozier sweetly invites you to dine together
recién la termino de esuchar y puedo asegurar que es mi canciójn favorita
Perfect. So powerful with such a deep yet morbid meaning. I passed my dance examination with this song . My choreography got 82 / 100
Masterful reading all the way through, put to haunting song.
I can't express how ready I am for this EP
I didn't know that Bill Nye was such a big Hozier fan 😂
This is an exquisite piece of expression. Bravo.
Amazing. Love Hozier’s writing
Goosebumps😮💨
Amazing song as always gó hálainn ❤
Hozier never disappoints me ❤
I literally can't get over what an incredible fucking privilege it is to listen to this album, I am so deeply thankful. To create and share it, to contribute to the eternal transcendence that is art and what it does to us, and how that spirals into infinity, just, im gonna eat my shoe
You are literally the mouthpiece for the world through your lyrics man! The world would stop in the wake of your silence so please keep speaking for it 💚💚
Happy Birthday Andrew! Thank you for your music. The songs are incredibly beautiful, deep and always on repeat ❤
I love this man ,love love him. I hope he has a goood good life and is genuinely a good person
Oh my goodness, that meal was an absolute delight! Every bite was bursting with flavor and my taste buds were dancing with joy. From the appetizer to the dessert, I was in a state of pure culinary bliss. I couldn't help but savor every morsel and even closed my eyes to fully immerse myself in the experience. Thank you so much for such a wonderful dining experience!*****
****** I always enjoy your true meaningful songs. *******
I saw the notif on spotify and I got so excited!!! It is. The middle of the night for me AKSBJDNDJDN where are my lesbians???
Gosh you couldn't release a bad song if you tried its beautiful as always literally ethereal
SAME IT'S STILL THE NIGHT OF MY BIRTHDAY AND IT'S OUT ALREADY BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER
im so obsessed with this song omg I’ve been waiting for this so long
i adore this song
First hour of release I love you hozier I'm gonna pay those extravagant ticket prices just to see you at the Redrocks
please I can just imagine Sunlight sung at dawn with a thousand singers for CHOIR!CHOIR!CHOIR! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
His lyrics are like some silver tongued devil, come to temp me to just accept fate and roll with it. I'm terrified and he sounds cruel, but he's probably right and the comfort of his voice is so seductive because I'm tired of fighting.
New favourite song! Thank you so much Hozier! I feel blessed to be able to listen to your heavenly music! As an English language student, I honestly bealive that the lyrics of your songs should be analyized in literature courses!
You did it again HOZIER ❤
Masterpiece
Well stated understated as always peeling back the layers ❤
His lyrics are always so poetic!!! 😩💖💖💖
Nada, todo lo que hace este tío es arte desde el principio hasta el final y no lo para de demostrar. Enamorada de esta canción como de las demás.
As always, exceeds my expectations 😭🥹💜
This song has been stuck in my head since I heard it so damn catchy. I love it ❤❤
this song deserve millions views i'm addicted
It’s a masterpiece.
What a modest proposal this is. Amazingly talented as always!
Amazing 👏
This song is effing 🔥 I listen to this on repeat !
I’m so excited for this album 💓
A música tem um significado totalmente diferente
Something about this song brought the idea into my head, but I wish so dearly that Hozier could’ve made a song with Jeff Buckley. The melancholic and brutal imagery with the undeniably catchy tune just seems to mesh so well with both of them. I think their styles and voices could’ve made something so beautiful… If only 😭
Yes. New lyrics to write even more heart-wrenching fanfic titles. YES.
Thank you for this masterpiece
