Testo First Time - Hozier
Testo della canzone First Time (Hozier), tratta dall'album Unreal Unearth
Remember, once I told you about how, before I heard it from your mouth
My name would always hit my ears as such an awful sound?
And the soul, if that's what you'd call it, uneasy ally of the body
It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground
And the first time that you kissed me, I drank dry the River Lethe
The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
But you spoke some quick new music that went so far to soothe this soul
As it was and ever shall be, unearth without a name
Some part of me must have died
The first time that you called me "baby"
And some part of me came alive
The first time that you called me "baby"
These days, I think I owe my life to flowers that were left here
By my mother, ain't that like them, gifting life to you again?
This life lived mostly underground, unknowing either sight nor sound
'Til reaching up for sunlight just to be ripped out by the stem
And sensing only now it's dying, drying out, then drowning blindly
Blooming forth, its every colour in the moments it has left
To share the space with simple living things, infinitely suffering
But fighting off, like all creation, the absence of itself, but anyway
Some part of me must have died
Each time that you called me "baby"
And some part of me stayed alive
Each time that you called, each time that you called
Come here, ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
Ooh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-la
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
The last time it was heard out loud
The perfect genius of our hands and mouths
Were shocked to resignation as the arguing declined
When I was young, I used to guess, are there limits to any emptiness?
When was the last time? Come here to me, when was the last time?
Some part of me must have died
The final time you called me "baby"
But some part of me came alive
The final time you called me "baby"
