    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    My lover's got humor
    She's the giggle at a funeral
    Knows everybody's disapproval
    I should've worshipped her sooner
    If the heavens ever did speak
    She's the last true mouthpiece
    Every Sunday's getting more bleak
    A fresh poison each week
    "We were born sick"
    You heard them say it
    My church offers no absolutes
    She tells me "Worship in the bedroom"
    The only Heaven I'll be sent to
    Is when I'm alone with you
    I was born sick, but I love it
    Command me to be well
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Aaa, Amen, Amen, Amen
    [Chorus]
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    [Verse 2]
    If I'm a pagan of the good times
    My lover's the sunlight
    To keep the goddess on my side
    She demands a sacrifice
    Drain the whole sea
    Get something shiny
    Something meaty for the main course
    That's a fine looking high horse
    What you got in the stable?
    We've a lot of starving faithful
    That looks tasty
    That looks plenty
    This is hungry work
    [Chorus]
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me my deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me my deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    [Bridge]
    No masters or kings when the ritual begins
    There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
    In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
    Only then I am human
    Only then I am clean
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Oh, oh Amen, Amen, Amen
    [Chorus]
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life

    Lyrically, "Take Me to Church" is a metaphor, with the protagonist comparing his lover to religion. The song grew out of Hozier's frustration with the Catholic Church which, as somebody raised in the Protestant Quaker faith, he saw as dominating the social and political outlook of the Irish state

      Correct me if im wrong, but by the lyrics, the song kinda gives me the feelings of worship to god (aka the lover). I can hear the frustation on the lyrics, but its still like a blind following of someone you love.
      I'm geniusly asking, because from my perspective, i wish this song was a satire on toxic relationships/religions. But seems to portray an opposite, blind following.

    • @OwlpoAnimations
      @OwlpoAnimations Před rokem +36

      @@GreenSpyro the song is at first a idolization of god and religion wishing he “worshipped her sooner”. The song eventually devolves into paganism and the belief that religion itself is simply constricting in its current form and that church only exists to punish. This is why the music video portrays it as a gay romance being punished which recontextualizes the whole song, making the song someone shunning themself due to the church and having straight intercourse to convince themself that they aren’t a sinner, a delusion of holiness.

      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

      Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
      Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
      You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
      150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
      God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
      Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
      Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
      You serve the devil when you
      Lie
      Hate
      Blasphemy
      Disobey
      Lazy
      Gossip
      Gluttony
      Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
      Hate
      And unforgivness
      And cussing murder and more
      And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
      So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
      God is holy and righteous God is love
      So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
      The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
      You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
      Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
      Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
      God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤
      Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

      ​@@user-tg6wm4gv4y❤❤❤So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
      Familiar spirits are demons
      well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤

    The meaning of the song if you didn't get it:
    My lover's got humor. She's the giggle at a funeral. - My lover (the church) has a sense of humor. She (the church) laughs when people die.
    Knows everybody's disapproval. I should've worshiped her sooner. - (the church) knows everyone disapproves of me, hates me. I should have worshipped (sacrificed) my life to her (the church) sooner.
    If the Heavens ever did speak. She's the last true mouthpiece. - If God ever was real and spoke to humans. She (the church) is the last sign that God exists.
    Every Sunday's getting more bleak. A fresh poison each week. - Every Sunday, the day when people go to church, is getting more dark and painful to live through. A fresh layer of poison and pain is applied at the church every week.
    "We were born sick", you heard them say it. - "We were born gay", you heard the church say we have a disease.
    My church offers no absolutes. She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom". - My church doesn't allow any impurity and is merciless against those who are considered impure. She (the church) tells me "The bedroom is meant for worshipping God, not for having gay sex."
    The only Heaven I'll be sent to. Is when I'm alone with you. - I'm not allowed in heaven because I'm gay. That's why the only heaven (joy, happiness, paradise) I will ever experience is when I am alone with my gay partner.
    I was born sick, but I love it. Command me to be well. - I was born gay and I'm proud of it. Force me to be cured.
    A-, Amen, Amen, Amen. Take me to church. - Spiritual affirmation. Take me to the church to be sacrificed as a cure for my homosexuality.
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife. - I will be slaughtered and sacrificed like a dog, because the church doesn't consider LGBT people human beings, at the shrine of your lies - referring to the altar and the church glorifying the lies of the bible. I will tell you that I'm gay, and you can prepare the weapon you will use to slaughter me for it.
    Offer me that deathless death. Good God, let me give you my life. - Offer me access to death without death, also known as heaven, let me into heaven. Good God, murder me and sacrifice me.
    If I'm a pagan of the good times. My lover's the sunlight. - If I'm an outcast from today's society. My lover (the church) is the sunlight that will burn me to ashes.
    To keep the Goddess on my side. She demands a sacrifice. - To appease the Goddess (the church) and stay on her good side. She (the church) demands that my impure, homosexual life is ended by being sacrificed to God, referring to homophobic biblical verses like Leviticus 20:13.
    Drain the whole sea. Get something shiny. - Referring to draining the Holy See, the Vatican. Destroy the Vatican and take back the money and gold that their temples are coated with.
    Something meaty for the main course. That's a fine looking high horse. - The Vatican, and grandiose cathedrals and churches in general, are a rich and meaty meal for the people. That's a fine looking high horse, also known as moral high-ground. This critiques the moral high-ground the church holds over people, by hoarding wealth and building gold-plated churches while telling the worshippers of God to be humble and immaterialist. And by preaching love and tolerance despite discriminating against LGBT people.
    What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful. - What does the Vatican have to offer to people? We have a lot of poor and vulnerable believers of God who are starving because of all the money the church has fraudulently scammed and stolen from its believers to line their own greedy pockets.
    That looks tasty. That looks plenty. This is hungry work. - Referring to butchering the Vatican, and all wealthy churches and cathedrals in general, and feeding (returning) it to the poor and starving whose money was used to build them.
    Chorus repeated.
    No masters or kings when the ritual begins. There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. - It's irrelevant who you are, if you're homosexual, you're still being sacrificed in the ritual. There is nothing sweeter or more innocent than our gentle sin of homosexuality, referring to there being nothing wrong with homosexuality.
    In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene. Only then I am human. Only then I am clean. - In the horrible acts of violence and oppression that religious people carry out against LGBT people in the name of God. Only then, when I have been murdered and sacrificed to God, I am considered a clean human being instead of a dog.

    I met my daughters dad when we both worked at our local deli. He used to put his ear buds in and sing this song often while we worked together and we had many many conversations about the meaning behind these lyrics even throughout our relationship. He passed away in a motorcycle accident dec 15 2023 and today is his funeral. I don’t know if he reminded me of this song or if it’s just something that happened to cross my mind either way it should be remembered.

      So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
      Familiar spirits are demons
      well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

      Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
      Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
      You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
      150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
      God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
      Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
      Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve

      And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
      So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
      God is holy and righteous God is love
      So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
      The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
      You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
      Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
      Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
      God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤

      James 5:16" Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for each other so that you may be healed".

      just keep in mind that the Islam is an extension , update and renewal of Christianity and Judaism(i mean here the real religion that Jesus and Moses came with from Allah Which is basically the Islam and anyone can search about that) and the Islam in his general meaning is the religion of all the prophets who pray to Allah and invited others to workship Allah only
      Finally, it's just an invitation, and for sure it's your choice , just I hope that you don't listen to what others say about Islam cause Islam is literally the religion of peace, u can give it a chance
      May Allah guide you to the right path.

      ⁠@@lovinghim2160The song is actually pretty complicated but Wikipedia has a good background on it. Essentially it was Hosier being frustrated by the Catholic church dominating Irish society and wanting to point out its hypocrisies. With a few examples being how they weaponize your sins said in confidence, and how they tell you that you are “sick” (sinful) from birth and convince you to dedicate yourself to the church through lies. There is also something to be said about an undertone of accepting sexuality and how people are naturally loving and intimate but the church tells you to reject that part of yourself. Calling it sinful and saying you are damned to hell just for indulging in a natural part of human life.

    lyrics of the masterpiece

    My lover's got humor
    She's the giggle at a funeral
    Knows everybody's disapproval
    I should've worshiped her sooner
    If the Heavens ever did speak
    She's the last true mouthpiece
    Every Sunday's getting more bleak
    A fresh poison each week
    "We were born sick", you heard them say it
    My church offers no absolutes
    She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
    The only Heaven I'll be sent to
    Is when I'm alone with you
    I was born sick, but I love it
    Command me to be well
    A-, Amen, Amen, Amen
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    If I'm a pagan of the good times
    My lover's the sunlight
    To keep the Goddess on my side
    She demands a sacrifice
    Drain the whole sea
    Get something shiny
    Something meaty for the main course
    That's a fine looking high horse
    What you got in the stable?
    We've a lot of starving faithful
    That looks tasty
    That looks plenty
    This is hungry work
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me my deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me my deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    No masters or kings when the ritual begins
    There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
    In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
    Only then I am human
    Only then I am clean
    Oh, oh, Amen, Amen, Amen
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
    I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
    Offer me that deathless death
    Good God, let me give you my life
    Take me to church
    I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

    Irish solo artist Andrew Hozier Byrne, a.k.a. Hozier, created a stir when he released “Take Me To Church” in 2013.
    Lyrically, the single is one large metaphor comparing a lover to religion :
    “Take me to church /
    I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies /
    I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife /
    Offer me that deathless death /
    Good God, let me give you my life.”
    The singer-songwriter defined the meaning of the piece : “Sexuality, and sexual orientation - regardless of orientation - is just natural. An act of sex is one of the most human things. But an organization like the Church, say, through its doctrine, would undermine humanity by successfully teaching shame about sexual orientation - that it is sinful, or that it offends God. The song is about asserting yourself and reclaiming your humanity through an act of love.”
    Hozier pointed out that “Take Me To Church” IS NOT AN ATTACK ON FAITH. He explained : “Coming from Ireland, obviously, there’s a bit of a cultural hangover from the influence of the Church. You’ve got a lot of people walking around with a heavy weight in their hearts and a disappointment […] that [carry] from generation to generation. So the song is just about that - it’s an assertion of self, reclaiming humanity back for something that is most natural and worthwhile.”
    To date, this is the highest-charting track in the Hot 100’s history with the word “CHURCH” in its title. Culture Club’s “Church of the Poison Mind” (1983) was the previous best.
    Hozier performed the oeuvre at the 2015 Grammy Awards ceremony, where it was nominated for Song of the Year. Toward the end, he was joined by Scottish icon Annie Lennox, who duetted with him before going into a rousing rendition of “I Put A Spell On You” (2014).
