A while back I saw a Hozier related post about people simplifying Hozier’s lyrics and as an example of songs that are actually just about naughty stuff they gave Butchered Tongue.
Butchered Tongue. The song SO clearly about Ireland being colonised and his relationship with the Irish language.
“As a young man blessed to pass so many road signs and have my foreign ear made fresh again on each unlikely sound” is him reading signs in Irish.
“The ears were chopped from young men if the pitch cap didn’t kill them. They are buried without scalp in the shattered bedrock of our home” Irish men being killed, having their ears cut of and having their scalp cut off.
Ireland is probably the only country in Europe that has been colonised. They have been fighting for their rights for centuries and you wanna write this song of as “just about sex”????
