Hi! I'm a huge fan! Got a few questions:

1. Is the line "casting shadows on the walls of the cave" from Sedated an allusion to Plato's allegory of the cave?

2. Can you explain why the transition between the end of the second chorus and the bridge in Jackie and Wilson does such awesome things to my brain?

3. "Why you wanna be a corpse so bad?" - My Brother (also a fan)

From Eden is an amazing song. I saw the snake/eve motif as part of a larger purpose, the examination of a relationship in which one partner is older/more cynical than the other. On a related note, I'm still a bit confused about the line that goes

"To the strand a picnic plan for you and me/

A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree"

The image is so cool, could you help me understand what it means in the broader context of the song?

I always took it as the somewhat fucked up ability to find happiness joy or beauty in even the darkest or saddest things.

"Things went from not to 100 very quickly"...hahahaha Hozier's equivalent of "zero to 💯 real quick"

Holy Shit. What an interesting bit of pop culture history, direct from a participant.
