Song meaning of De Selby (Part 2) by Hozier

Ah, Hozier, always delving into the deep, dark corners of the human experience. Now, let's delve into "De Selby (Part 2)," shall we? The song opens with a lovely reminder that whatever you're given in life, it somehow finds a way to live in you. How poetic! And of course, love is there too, lurking in the corners of the room like some sort of heart-shaped shadow. But don't worry, Hozier is here to offer some solutions for those plagued by gloomy hearts. He suggests that if you want to escape, just get really close to him because apparently, he's an expert in losing himself. And if that's not enough, he'll even fade away with you, so romantic! In the chorus, Hozier's ambition reaches new heights as he declares his desire to run against the turning world, moving so fast that he outpaces the dawn. He wants to be gone, my friends, really gone. He's like, "Call me the Flash, because I'll beat the morning before it even arrives and block the sun while I'm at it!" So, if you're in need of extreme escapism, Hozier is your guy. Just hold on tight and let him whisk you away on this melodramatic journey of blocking the sun. And remember, if you want it done, Hozier's got your back. Now go, run against the world!
