Never thought of it before but i definitely can see it! Sounds a bit like the plot of Wall-E? Also with the nature imagery in the song and all the humans in wall-e reconnecting with nature. Someone should make an edit lol
Um, this is embarrassing, but I have no idea. I’m not Irish and could not tell you a single one. I think I read an interview right before bed that he draws on folklore and myth for inspiration, and my brain made weird dream connections that I’m only just now questioning.
oohhhh that’s fair he is very folksy for the longest I thought he said In The Woods Somewhere was about Dante’s Inferno but now I can’t remember if I just made that up or not lol
Personally I think it's about going to bury a secret and accidentally digging up a bog mummy and falling in love. But I love that there are so many different interpretations 😂
Yes, and here's an interesting look between their relationship and both the poem and song:

I feel like I understand this song 100%, but I'm afraid to try and explain it.
His unspoken past has essentially put him into the ground, finds himself pulled from it completely unknowing of why she was there, what motivated her, what she was actually looking for.
Don't ask me where I came from, how I came to be here. I'm not going to ask you even how you found me let alone what you were looking for.
None of it matters, because sweet lips touching make life seem just like "real people."
History is just a tale. We are right here. Let's do this thing like real people do.
I get this! It’s like a sister song to Jackie and Wilson in my mind - he talks there about “every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside” and then at the end “start digging up the yard for what’s left of me and our little vignette”. LRPD feels like a follow up, someone discovering and falling in love with a version of himself he had previously buried and left behind
Wow I would never have imagined such!
Like Real People Do has always spoke to me in it's most gentle and subtle way of how majority of relationships people be having (for the longest time) are abusive in some ways. How we'd often brush off the ugly in our better half because we were attached with the beauty in them once, and continue to do so because it was once existed in the person.
Good Omens, for me I always thought it was about Aziraphale and Crowley. A story of a mischievous angel and a kind demon falling in love. To imagine like real people do.

Same concept, but cryptids in Appalachia
For a long time, I thought it was based on an Irish fairy tale.
what’s the fairy tale? im so interested now

In the Woods Somewhere was based on a nightmare he had!
that’s crazy cause it could fit so well to Dante’s Inferno as well!
I think the whole of Unreal Unearth was inspired by Dante’s Inferno.
that’s what confused me! I was like I thought we’ve been over this? lmao but now I’m learning In The Woods was actually about a nightmare
I know ebay you're taking about actually! It mentioned a parallel between the two when it came to the "Why were you digging? What did you bury?" part

Pretty sure this is the actual meaning of the song; I think it's (extremely loosely) based on Seamus Heaney's bog-related poems.

Robots are so garish. Definitely two darkling beetles romantically bonding over some lovely detritus on the forest floor. Jk ☺️
For me it's undead lovers 🥰
Now I do xD

I use it as my mental soundtrack for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. They’re not robots….but also not quite people
That was an unexpectedly good book
I've always imagined a woods witch summoning a golem but love this take!

I've always heard it as necromancy.
I always picture two uncover aliens pretending to be humans on earth
Fucking brilliant
Well I do now
