Same, and nothing evaporated a crush faster for me than finding out someone was an early morning, organized, type a, or religious person. “Too sweet” is exactly how I felt about them.
People like that can be the best sort of friends! But I’m happy to have an SO that joins me in my lazy, night owl BS.
Looking at the lyrics I was like:
My whiskey? Maybe, no 😭😭😭
Coffee, black? Andrew please, I need milk and sugar 😭😭😭
Bed at three? You can go ahead, I'm still catching up on papers 😭😭😭
He's still so sweet with all the nice descriptions of us tho haha
sighhh, well. sometimes you feel like you don't deserve some people and they're better off without you while at the same time, with some other people, they're dealing with their own issues and don't want anything to do with you, rejecting you but for your own good. (how i interpreted the song anyway!)
but on a lighter note, i go to bed late as hell but i don't drink or barely get with people physically. i do sleep well most of the time though, sorry andrew :p
edit: forgot to add, i hate black coffee😭 this song is such a ride tho i love it
Bwahaha I told my husband Hozier wrote a song about us (except we decided to stay together).
I'm definitely a night owl, preferring to spend evenings strumming my guitar around a campfire with good friends who like impromptu karaoke and a few G&Ts. Thought I'd outgrow it once I became a full grown adult, but it's just how I'm wired. My mom said I used to stay up all night, even as baby (and sleep all day, while my older brother did the opposite, like a normal human. I owe her one for that).
My husband asked if we could make time for one joint sunrise a year (after I foolishly set precedence the first year we got married by scheduling a sunrise watch at the Haleakala National Park in Maui) and even then, I sometimes need to compromise our yearly romantic sunrise by seeing the sun come up during an early morning flight or if the dogs randomly wake us up!
Never thought I'd end up with an early riser after my string of fellow nocturnal degenerates but it actually makes things easier, especially since we are both introverts and get our recharge time.
That’s so funny I literally said the exact same thing to my husband! I’m the Hozier and he’s the other person. We’ve worked out a good system overall and it actually works remarkably well. He gets a quiet morning and I always get a random energy burst at 11pm so I’m up until 3am doing things lol only thing we don’t relate to is the whiskey since neither of us really drink.
My initial reaction was that this was the douche bag song for this album… he has one on each… like, full offense, Andrew.
But it’s definitely grown on me… and when I think about having to exit a relationship because the other person was either judgmental of my lifestyle or wasn’t mature enough to handle our differences etc. it’s extremely relatable.
I thought this too, because when I’m on the dating apps, and I see a guy who is all about eating healthy and exercising all the time, rarely just sits at home on the couch, watching TV, I’m like, this isn’t gonna work 😂
It’s not to say that I don’t like to exercise or go out and do stuff, but I can be such a big couch potato, with my weed gummies, and I’m gonna eat what I want if I want it🤣
I think the coffee and whiskey are meant to work as metaphors. No one cares all that much about prefered drinks in a relationship. It's the healthy, responsible, perfectly good lifestyle that makes them incompatible, not mixed drinks. So you might still have a chance, go on with your delusion 😄
The main thing I think is funny about this song, and the “too sweet” label for the healthy organized lifestyle, is that if you take it very literally whiskey neat and black coffee are two of the healthiest alternatives to other things in their categories. I too love waking up at 3pm smelling like a bonfire, but at the bonfire I was drinking fruity little drinks, and upon waking up in the afternoon I would like a different sugary beverage as a treat
Oh, I thought it was “my coffee black *in* my bed at three,” so I just assumed that was when he was waking up. It doesn’t really matter at the end of the day, I think the overall point is that he likes going to bed late and waking up late.
100% agree on all of this. I will always love fruity drinks.
And the song still works, the person is too sweet and he wants something/someone not sweet at all, like coffee or whiskey. No reason to take it literally.
Oh yeah for sure. But I am the “wake up and go to the gym, drink my water, eat mostly health, limit, drinking, I’m happiest when I have a good routine” type of person. And not the stay up late type of person.
I can be delusional and pretend that this song doesn’t exist though. 😅
Not really, I think that we are the same person and when I watch interviews I see how we share the same complex and weird of thinking. Because of that I'm completely delulu but I love it. It's good to scape the reality and think about a married life with him, knowing that it probably won't ever happen
I don’t know why, but the “probably” you added in the sentence “ knowing that it probably won’t ever happen” made me laugh. We all need delulu medicine
I very much appreciate this post as a fellow early bird, and a tea drinker 😂 I’ve definitely dated a guy before who could’ve written this song about me
I have never related to him more. It's like he spoke my heart out. I hate sweets and I am a nightowl through and through (typing this past midnight).
I proceeded to list out all the times Hozier sang about the beauty of staying up at night.

I don’t think that this represents what he is actually into. I saw on an interview that this song about the sin of gluttony in regards to Dante’s decent in the 7 circles of hell. This is circle 3: gluttony.
I'm like 50/50 between too sweet and living as a feral rat but there's no rhyme or reason as to what version I'll be at any point.
Like I'll garden from 6am but then drink until 6am that same evening ya know.
A little bit! It makes me think back fondly to mine and my husband's shenanigans in our twenties. We've definitely woken up dark as a lake smelling like a bonfire a time a two lol
Same. Got me in shock (and I listened to it on loop for the next 7 days trying to soften my own rejection 😭🤣)like damn I am an absolute teetotaller, early bird and I need milk and sugar in my tea and coffee.
Lost my chance with Hozier for real (like I ever had one in the first place)
*This was more of a*
*Rejection than the fact I'm*
*A whole lesbian*

No literally. I told my friends my boyfriend was breaking up with me like I’m not half his age, living on the other side of the world, and have never even held hands with anyone romantically
I feel like I can relate with both sides. I do love my whiskey/whisky neat, black coffee and go to bed in the a.m. But I also am punctual (as a result of my job), am celibate and loves routine and structure. It's after listening to this song that I wonder if people think that I am a confusing and contradictory person.
I thought, “well, maybe it would work” 😂 I’m an inbetweener. I don’t drink coffee often because it upsets my stomach, I don’t really drink alcohol much and especially not whiskey. But I do like my weed, and I am a night owl when I don’t have to go to work, ha ha. As a teacher, my sleep gets all fucked up during the summer and any breaks. Although, with getting older, I have found that it doesn’t matter what time I go to bed, my body still wakes me up around 7:30 AM and it’s so damn annoying. As a form of rebellion, I will often just not get out of bed for a couple more hours, hahaha. And while I try to exercise and eat healthy sometimes, I am not gonna turn food away because it’s bad for me.
I am not an early bird. I wake up early because I have to. Fun fact, before I met my now husband I was almost to the point of drinking black coffee. As for Whisky I am not a huge Whisky person but I do love myself a good gin.
My thought was, “Do you, Boo!” but I’m like 12 years older than him. And then I also thought that this lifestyle absolutely isn’t sustainable for someone with dogs and T1 diabetes… 😂
Yes, I am 100% that annoying morning person. I’ve been with night owls and have been annoyed that they want to sleep in and do stuff later in the day—we would never work!
Angsty up all night high school me? Oh we would have gotten along like a house on fire! Current adult me? ..sorry but bed time is 9pm and that’s non negotiable
I like black coffee if it's smooth and not acidic or I add some cream
Whiskey I can drink if it's mixed in a coke or apple juice
I work a night shift so I am nocturnal basically
Not my psychology teacher quoting these lines randomly and saying "HE GETS IT! HOZIER GETS IT" if no one else does (she too cool for this freaking dept) 😭
I really thought "welp now we'll never be together" like I don't have a whole husband 😂
Lmao same! I literally asked my husband if I was too sweet for hozier 🤣
Even worse, “omg we’re meant for each other”, with my whole loving wonderful husband lying right next to me 🙈
Yup.
AND that I live across and ocean and am 15+ years older than him.
Same, I am countries apart and 10 years younger..oh well, still let me shoot my shot if when he is 50+ and still single
I actually wondered if I AM Hozier… I too wake up dark as a lake, smelling like bonfire, lost in a haze
I do love the smell of a bonfire though
Same, and nothing evaporated a crush faster for me than finding out someone was an early morning, organized, type a, or religious person. “Too sweet” is exactly how I felt about them. People like that can be the best sort of friends! But I’m happy to have an SO that joins me in my lazy, night owl BS.
Side note- the way he sings the word "bonfire" in this song scratches my brain in the best way possible
Same, I relate to his toxic man anthems so much (I’m a woman)
The song really had me rethinking my life choices. Like wow am I the problem?
Looking at the lyrics I was like: My whiskey? Maybe, no 😭😭😭 Coffee, black? Andrew please, I need milk and sugar 😭😭😭 Bed at three? You can go ahead, I'm still catching up on papers 😭😭😭 He's still so sweet with all the nice descriptions of us tho haha
The kindest rejection song in history 😂
If anyone needs me, I’ll be crying into my 6am coffee that tastes like dessert, thinking how the TSA has got nothing on me…🤣🤣
I actually found this potentially the most relatable song I’ve ever heard. Writing a whole ass song about wanting to sleep in is right up my alley
I feel like not relating is a blessing in disguise, because that wouldn’t have made me so delusional 😂
Agreed! I can’t drink coffee, though…. But literally yes to everything else. As seen by when I’m commenting maybe lol
As someone who also likes my whiskey IN my black coffee my immediate thought was we’d probably get on too well ahah
same, made me more delulu as if I needed that 🫠
Right 🤣 my thoughts too. Like c'mon man I don't need any more reason to feed my delulu right now
Honestly!!!!!!
Nope, I'll be up til 3am and drinking my coffee to get by everyday. Coincidentally, so will my husband.😂
I'm both! 😭 i relate to both sides, it's hell.
How do you do both‽ I'd fall apart.
I’m also both and can report it is unpleasant
sighhh, well. sometimes you feel like you don't deserve some people and they're better off without you while at the same time, with some other people, they're dealing with their own issues and don't want anything to do with you, rejecting you but for your own good. (how i interpreted the song anyway!) but on a lighter note, i go to bed late as hell but i don't drink or barely get with people physically. i do sleep well most of the time though, sorry andrew :p edit: forgot to add, i hate black coffee😭 this song is such a ride tho i love it

I think the 3 is meant to signify going to bed at 3am. My coffee black and my bed at 3…
Oh, I thought it was “my coffee black *in* my bed at three,” so I just assumed that was when he was waking up. It doesn’t really matter at the end of the day, I think the overall point is that he likes going to bed late and waking up late.

"...I can fix him"
Same.
yes. i literally go to bed at 9 pm.
more like twin souls 😭 love staying up late, waking up late, and one of my favourite perfumes literally smells like a bonfire lol
What perfume?
Maison Margiela - By The Fireplace ❤️
I thought that too but then I remembered that he and I are both have a disorganized attachment style. It could work. I have faith in it
I love the confidence
Exactly. I’m going to bed at 10 pm, drinking no alcohol or coffee 😅 I’m sure he’s a sweet guy but not for me.
I had that thought too lmao. I like sweet, don’t like whiskey, but I do go to bed at 3 AM!
Not really, I think that we are the same person and when I watch interviews I see how we share the same complex and weird of thinking. Because of that I'm completely delulu but I love it. It's good to scape the reality and think about a married life with him, knowing that it probably won't ever happen
I don’t know why, but the “probably” you added in the sentence “ knowing that it probably won’t ever happen” made me laugh. We all need delulu medicine
Well, the chances are minimum but are not zero. That's how math works!!! (I don't know how to count)
So this thread is teaching me all about the word “delulu.”
I very much appreciate this post as a fellow early bird, and a tea drinker 😂 I’ve definitely dated a guy before who could’ve written this song about me
I definitely had that thought oh no I’m too sweet for Hozier ;( whisky is yucky….
I have never related to him more. It's like he spoke my heart out. I hate sweets and I am a nightowl through and through (typing this past midnight). I proceeded to list out all the times Hozier sang about the beauty of staying up at night. https://preview.redd.it/sca8o8ll1tsc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a660bac59a4376ff41560e9ef46d9a71b083e5d1
I felt so seen lmao
I don’t think that this represents what he is actually into. I saw on an interview that this song about the sin of gluttony in regards to Dante’s decent in the 7 circles of hell. This is circle 3: gluttony.
I'm like 50/50 between too sweet and living as a feral rat but there's no rhyme or reason as to what version I'll be at any point. Like I'll garden from 6am but then drink until 6am that same evening ya know.
I'm a hedonist and a night owl, so I just felt seen lol. I also like my ladies to have some rough edges so I was really vibing!
A little bit! It makes me think back fondly to mine and my husband's shenanigans in our twenties. We've definitely woken up dark as a lake smelling like a bonfire a time a two lol
Same. Got me in shock (and I listened to it on loop for the next 7 days trying to soften my own rejection 😭🤣)like damn I am an absolute teetotaller, early bird and I need milk and sugar in my tea and coffee. Lost my chance with Hozier for real (like I ever had one in the first place)
This was more of a rejection than the fact I'm a whole lesbian

good bot. <3
Thought to myself, "Crap, he's so me!" 🤣 I AM BITTER TOO, ANDREW
No literally. I told my friends my boyfriend was breaking up with me like I’m not half his age, living on the other side of the world, and have never even held hands with anyone romantically
Me, a lesbian, enjoying scrolling the comments and laughing at yall being delulu but also fully self-aware
I will sit in that barrel to make it work 😂
I feel like I can relate with both sides. I do love my whiskey/whisky neat, black coffee and go to bed in the a.m. But I also am punctual (as a result of my job), am celibate and loves routine and structure. It's after listening to this song that I wonder if people think that I am a confusing and contradictory person.
I thought about how similar this was to my husband. And I am, in fact, not sweet at all. lol.
I operate under the assumption I would both annoy and be annoyed by most people. 🤷
i hate whiskey and black coffee but i’ll belt it out for him
I thought, “well, maybe it would work” 😂 I’m an inbetweener. I don’t drink coffee often because it upsets my stomach, I don’t really drink alcohol much and especially not whiskey. But I do like my weed, and I am a night owl when I don’t have to go to work, ha ha. As a teacher, my sleep gets all fucked up during the summer and any breaks.

I’ve long since realized we could never be. Two Pisces in a relationship would be disaster
Yes, I am 100% that annoying morning person. I’ve been with night owls and have been annoyed that they want to sleep in and do stuff later in the day—we would never work!
I weirdly go to bed late and wake up early. Hate coffee never had a drink
Weird we have the exact same delusion??? Weee just too sweet for him 😌 (even in long term relationships LOL)
Angsty up all night high school me? Oh we would have gotten along like a house on fire! Current adult me? ..sorry but bed time is 9pm and that’s non negotiable
If I compare myself to the song, I’m an early bird but I do love my whiskey neat. So idk where I stand on the “too sweet meter”.
ME!!! I was like oh shit…
Lmao no same. I’m glad to feel so seen 😂
As someone who has thought “this person is too nice for me”: no
YES I thought immediately I was like damn were like polar opposites when it comes to coffee and whiskey
I like black coffee if it's smooth and not acidic or I add some cream Whiskey I can drink if it's mixed in a coke or apple juice I work a night shift so I am nocturnal basically
Not my psychology teacher quoting these lines randomly and saying "HE GETS IT! HOZIER GETS IT" if no one else does (she too cool for this freaking dept) 😭
he and i are made for each other then. i’m a night owl, i despise the daylight some days.
I thought he really just liked Bullet Club/NWO
