“First Light” was chosen by Hozier to be the final song of the album as it represents the end of Dante’s odyssey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In the song, he feels the relief of seeing the sky again, like it’s the first time, after going through dark periods of suffering.
In an interview for the Independent, Hozier called this a song of “reconciliation”, like he’s discovered, after a long journey down, that even hell has a way out.
For EW, he has also revealed that the song is about "Coming out the other side and having a new relationship with light as something you don’t want to hide from or disappear from. It’s something you can celebrate — as if you’re seeing it for the first time — for its brilliance, as opposed to something that is blinding".
