This soulful track finds Hozier focusing on the poetry of human movement as he is drawn to the way his love interest carries herself You're less Polunin leapin' Or Fred Astaire in sequins Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin' And when you move, I'm moved Rather than the balletic movements of Ukrainian performance artist Sergei Polunin or American dancer Fred Astaire, Hozier compares his lover to Atlas. According to Greek mythology, Atlas was condemned for his part in the war of the Titans to hold the universe on his back for eternity.
