This song draws strong parallels to the first Canto of Dante’s Inferno, which begins as follows:
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
In Dante, the protagonist finds himself in the woods, and is terrified by beasts until his love interest in Heaven, Beatrice, sends a mentor, Virgil, to pull him out of the woods and set him back on the virtuous path he had lost.
In this song, the protagonist walks into the woods, pities one beast, is terrified by another, and runs deeper into the woods in an attempt to escape. He prays and speaks to a woman consistently, but no help is sent, and he remains lost.
In a tweet responding to the question, “has a dream ever been the inspiration for a song?” Hozier said about the dream that inspired In the Woods Somewhere:
“Once dreamt I had to fight a horse in a nearby field as it was kicking and maiming a group of tiny school children. I found an axe but as I ran through the trees I found my hands were empty.
This is directly referenced in the song with the lyric, I quickly ran / Into the trees with empty hands.“ Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
