It's Always Corporate Infrastructure Over The Structure Of Your Face

indian women are in a constant state of vigilance, like a country on terrorist alert. no democracy is a democracy when half its population lives in fear. the paradox is that women have protected men and their families by keeping quiet. this is honourable behaviour, a part of our "honour society. what rape statistics really reflect is a vicious cultural agreement that women have little value. which means in turn that girls must be trained to act as if they do not exist, to minimise their presence to survive, to serve men and not inconvenience them. this is how India treats women. rape culture does not begin with rape. rape is the most extreme form of it. until catcalling, stalking, harassment, groping, spark the same outrage as assault and murder, the problem will persist. it is unbelievable how low men can and have stooped, even after such a gruesome murder

in a medical institute no less they have the audacity to say “men aren't that bad”

Currently starting my days with "it will be better today" and ending then in "it could have been worse"

No. I am not ok

एक दिन मेरा मुकद्दर तारों से लिखा जाएगा,

एक दिन मेरा इश्क मुकम्मल कहलाएगा।

जिसकी  खातिर हम फना हुए जा रहे हैं,

एक दिन वो बेदर्द भी वफ़ा निभाएगा I

अब तक जिसके महज़ साये से मुलाक़ात हुई थी,

एक दिन तो खुदा उसका दीदार करायेगा।

मेरे ख्यालों में पोशिदा जो अक्स है उसका,

एक दिन कागज़ पर उसकी तस्वीर सजायेगा।

oh boy i wish someone would notice my cries for help! [someone actually notices] noooo i'm fine don't worry about me

If I had a penny for everytime Hozier has made "bday gift" music for me I'd have two pennies; which isn't a lot but it's sweet that it happened twice.

There is a different comfort in pessimism🐦‍⬛🌒

Sabko 24 ghante kam pad rahe hain ya mein hi ek aalsi hoon??

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.
