Текст песни Through Me (The Flood) - Hozier

Picture a man, seen like a speck out from this shore
Swimming out beyond the breakers like he's done his life before
He feels a coming of the squall will drag him out a greater length
But knows his strength and tries to gather it

And he swims on, turning back to shore again
Above the outer atmosphere of a world he's never seen
And looking down to his new home, he feels the rising of a wave
And knows, at once, he will not weather it

Like that man, I looked down into the depths when I met you
I couldn't measure it

Any time I'd struggled on
Against the course, out on my own
Every time, I'd burn through the world, I'd see
That the world, it burns through me

But when I'd (when I'd) let go (I'd let go)
My struggling form (my struggling form), my willing soul (I'd see)
Every time (each time I'd)
Flow through the world, I'd see (flood through)
That the world (the world), it flows through me (through me)
That the world, it flows through me

Picture a grave, picture six feet freshly dug
The sharp temporary walls at the long-term cliff edge of the world
Light and air find some new deepness there and usher down the sky
Where one stands by and tries to make sense of it

Try measure loss, measure the silence of a house
The unheard footsteps at the doorway, the unemployment of the mouth
The waking up, having forgotten and remembering again
The full extent of what forever is

With each grave, I think of loss and I can only think of you
I couldn't measure it

Any time I've struggled on (I struggled on)
Against the course (against the course), out on my own (I'd see)
Every time (each time I'd) burn through the world, I'd see (flood through me)
That the world (the world), it burns through me (burns through me)

But when I (when I), I'd let go (I'd let go)
My struggling form (my struggling form), my willing soul (I'd see)
Every time (each time I'd)
Flow through the world, I'd see (flood through me)
That the world (the world), it flows through me (it flows through me)
That the world, it flows through me
