Interpretation

Before writing, a note: **"As It Was"** is not a Hozier song I can verify — the well-known track by that title is by Harry Styles (2022). Interpreting a non-existent track would corrupt the embedding with fabricated signal. Please double-check the song list. I've written the other four below.
