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
  • This man doesn't have one bad song. Every single song of his is absolutely amazing
  • @Naturetoa
    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
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • “Come and get some, skinning the children for a war drum” is so horrifying and poignant these lyrics are incredible
  • "It's quicker and easier to eat your young" is incredible
  • Hozier never disappoints. The timing and message of this song are impeccable. Reminds me of A Modest Proposal essay too
  • @cantnv1
    Heard this song right after ANOTHER mass shooting at an elementary school in Tennessee, and that line "putting food on the table selling bombs and guns, skinnin' the children for a war drum" has been whirling around in my head ever since! What an amazing song, absolutely amazing.
  • 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 <3
  • All 3 songs are genuinely incredible. If the rest of the album is this good, it's gonna easily be the best one yet
  • 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 <333
  • hozier can never do ANYTHING wrong. the man’s an absolute gem
  • 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.
  • Lyrics are so grotesque yet so poignant, while the music behind is so groovy - I LOVE IT
  • @EimhinMcGann
    Really clever hint to Irish history by Hozier; for those who don't know, the Irish author Jonathan Swift wrote a pamphlet called "A Modest Proposal" in 1726, when there was yet another massive famine in Ireland due to intentional mis-management by the British oppressors.
    There was lots of complaining in Britain about the hordes of starving Irish begging for their children's lives outside the walls of government, so Swift wrote this satirical book explaining to the Irish that they and their children would be better off to "Eat Your Young", because Hell would freeze over before the British rulers decided to help them.
    What a lovely people they are :)
