As It Was

Hozier

Transposer:

Intro: Verse: 1 There is a roadway muddy and foxgloved Never I’d have life enough my heart is screamin’ out And in a few days I would be there love Ever here that’s left in me is yours just as it was Just as it was baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name The love the dark the light the flame Verse: 2 Eyes at the heights of my baby Let’s hope at the fight of my baby The lights were as bright as my baby But your love was unmoved Bridge And tell me if somehow some of it remained How long you would wait for me? How long I’ve been away The shape that I’m in now you’re shaping the doorway Make your good love known to me Just tell me about your day Just as it was baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name The love the dark the light the flame Outro Eyes at the heights of my baby Let’s hope at the fight of my baby The lights were as bright as my baby But your love was unmoved And the sights were as stark as my baby And the cold cut as sharp as my baby And the nights were as dark as my baby Half as beautiful too

La chanson évoque une relation marquée par une profonde affection, mais aussi par la complexité des émotions. L'artiste exprime un sentiment d'absence, d'éloignement et d'une lutte intérieure face à la transformation de l'amour avec le temps. Malgré les épreuves et les changements, il reste attaché à ce qu'étaient les sentiments, cherchant à comprendre ce qui persiste de cette connexion. Le texte semble décrire un chemin parsemé d'obstacles, où la beauté initiale de l'amour est confrontée à des réalités sombres. L'interlocuteur espère encore retrouver l'intensité de leur lien passé, tout en reconnaissant les défis qui se présentent à eux. C'est un mélange de nostalgie et d'espoir, dans une quête pour retrouver ce qu'ils ont perdu.
