Francesca and Paolo were lovers who were cast into a Circle of Hell, where they’d be punished in a hurricane for their sin of intense lust/love. There’s a song conveying her rebellious response to the punishment; even after being thrown in the hurricane, she has no regrets and believes their sin was worth it. I love rebellious lyrics which challenge what’s traditionally ‘right’ behaviour and show a strong, albeit mortal, sometimes tragic, embrace of ‘sin’/love/lust. If I was punished by a hurricane after experiencing that level of intensity in a relationship, and then after, when exhausted, I was asked if I repented, I’d say… “No, put me back in it.” 🔥 Lyrics by Hozier: Do you think I’d give up? That this might’ve shook the love from me Or that I was on the brink How could you think, darling, I’d scare so easily? Now that it’s done There’s not one thing that I would change My life was a storm since I was born How could I fear any hurricane? If someone asked me at the end I’d tell them: “Put me back in it” I would do it again If I could have you for a minute I’d go through it again.
