"Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene" is track two on Hozier's self-titled debut studio album. The song is primarily about codeine (an opiate drug), but Hozier draws a parallel to a hard-to-get sometimes heartless woman and the drug. The Angel of Small Death refers to ‘la petite mort’ meaning “the little death”, a French term for orgasm, so literally it means the messenger or bringer of orgasms.
