In “Unknown / Nth”, Hozier expresses themes of distance, betrayal, and the feeling of being unknown or misunderstood in a relationship. The track takes inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s, Divine Comedy, mainly from the 9th Circle of Hell which is known as the “Treachery circle, where those who have committed acts of betrayal are punished. The circle is divided into four regions, each punishing a different form of treachery, and sinners are trapped in ice, frozen and isolated, which could symbolize a similar sense of emotional isolation and being trapped in a state of unknown or misunderstood feelings.
