The pace of the edg and transns is nsistent throughout the mic vio, which may be a reprentatn of how nothg seems to change when to society acceptg homosexualy and eedom of song is a has a slow pace — nventnal beg part of the die-rock genre of mic.
Due to the strong and emotnal theme of homophobia, the song was ed to stand up agast discrimatn certa parts of the world, such as Rsia and Ireland — Hozier’s untry of orig. It’s later revealed that the character that the box belongs to is homosexual, so therefore the box uld reprent the secrecy of his sexualy, and the character buryg and lockg away his feelgs.
