MomijiHyuga804 she airplanes the lyrics on the screen and once it got to the chorus she was like “hang on, I don’t understand this part.” Then the girl was like, it’s ok we’ll explain it at the end.” She told us to stop air playing before the song ended and then we had this whole debate about it putting out the wrong ideas on Catholics. And some girl was like “yeah, but half the people don’t even care about what the song is about, if it’s a good song then it doesn’t really matter.” Then the bell went.

I didn't get that his love was getting killed in the end is that from the video cuz I didn't get it just from the lyrics enlighten me I'm not condescending
Yes I did already reply however I don't think I ever saw the video in fact I know I didn't I just take the lyrics literally as I interpret them no visual
Hozier recorded his vocals in his attic at 3 a.m. one January morning in 2013. "We re-recorded bits around it, " he said, "but I boshed the vocals in for my laptop."
Lyrics: Hozier - Take Me To Church [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
Everyone wonders whats in the box...its his secret that no one knows so he has hidden it (him being gay) then when they come to him to find out his secret but they find it and start beating open the box like they are beating him, the box is him they want to open it to tell everyone to let his secret out. Thats what I get out of it.
It’s literally so sad that people get killed for race, religion, sexuality and more, they aren’t hurting you so why do you hate them? Edit: ain’t no way y’all fighting over this…
It's because every human has a hard coded, genetic primordial fear in their DNA. That is the fear of the unknown. This applies to EVERYTHING that is different from what YOU KNOW based on your perception of reality, and how your unique experiences. This is why I fucking hated highschool. It's litearlly one big circle jerk of jugement. Every one has their group of frinds that are somewhat like them, and if you don't fit in to their "click" you are outcasted by that group and most of the people in it. This even applies to the adult world, which is fucking sad as fuck. You would think most in highschool would grow up, and be like "THAT EXPERIENCE WAS FUCKING AWFUL! Let's be more open to our fellow homosapian." But no, we judge what we don't understand, even if it is subconcious, and not conciously. Looking at this issue down to it's absolute raw, unfiltered core is horribly depressing.
@Geronimo Cad Bruh People get angry when other people tell them something they don't like And People get killed, no matter what race or gender It's just something that happens, and it's not always because of racism Although it is pretty ridiculous to kill someone, accusing them of being racist when they've done nothing wrong
I first heard this song on the radio, and it was after therapy for my PTSD and religious trauma syndrome. I believe this song was written with one story line in mind, but can be flexible on it's meaning to any trauma situation in life, especially extreme cults and organised religious groups

I love how christians are fighting for this to not be a gay song and to be a christian song while in the chorus it littlearly says how the church is stabbing ur back and its a shrine of lies.
I’m Christian, I feel so terrible for anyone who’s been discriminated for their race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc. due to the church. It’s the literal opposite to what we’re supposed to be doing. The Bible says love everyone, including gay people. I don’t know how there’s so many Christians who think they’re better than everyone else and get to condemn people.
@@shreksgrandma722 I honestly love people like you, many of my friends and my stepdad are really homofobic because they're "christians" and "the Bible says it's wrong", and even if I try to make up their minds they keep ignoring me... I think that's why I abandoned the religion, because if that's what a christian should think, then I won't call myself a christian; however, people like you still gives me hope that God is love and everyone is loved equally by Him :)
@@anamelchior7194 the stupid thing is that the bible doesn't really condemn homosexuality. there's Genesis 9:20-27, Genesis 19:1-11, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, etc. But these are strictly directed at the sons of israel, descendants of abraham. Most were instructions given by Moses specifically to the hebrew peoples. And a significant part of Christ's legacy was making it so that these rules did not apply to the gentiles, or non-jews. The only occurrences of condemnation for homosexuality in the new testament are 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Timothy 1:10 and Romans 1:26-27. In these cases, however, they are truly meant to condemn 1. Male Prostitution, 2.Pederasty and 3. The Cult of Isis people really need to learn their fuckin history. it really bothers me how many christians walk around committing countless affronts against their religion. there's nothing about christianity that outlaws homosexuals except an ignorance about which parts of the bible actually apply to you.
@@mastermanio2 Oh, I didn't know that, I think I should take some time to read the bible instead of hearing what my parents and friends tell me and their interpretation of it; thanks for the information buddie, this honestly makes me feel happier that christianism doesn't actually have something against homosexuality :)
He is saying "being with... A man" Its actually ironic that some people actually go as far as thinking this is a religious song just by hearing the chorus. (Until they see the video...)
@@mindpower3101 Eeeey man, eeeeeey maan, eeeeeyy man, (da dumb da dumb) Could you take me to church? I got a flat tire on the 69. The tow man said, "It will take some time." And now I am praying to god if you could give me a ride.
I have to admit, ive always loved this song but never knew the meaning. (Yes, I'm an older generation) Saw the video for the first time tonight. While i am a straight woman, seeing anyone treated like that (black, white, straight, trans, gay, religious, non religious, ANYONE AT ALL) treated that way brings me to absolute tears 😢

@@apairofscales i think the book is just an excuse. something else bothers them and the book is an excuse. there is so much in the book that is not followed nor referenced at all.
@@Anna-ql4yz The homophobic part of people is mostly Muslim, can't say wrong about Bible. I don't have that knowledge about Bible. But Qur'an hates gay people.
@@apairofscales alot of Christian's think that you should dislike and even hate gay people. God intended for love to be between man and woman, and a lot of people saw this as an excuse. I'm here to say that it's not true, you must love your fellow man as yourself. even if they dislike the bible or hate religion.
I think it's about, the people that we rather love above hate, money or race we are some kind of "sicks" in a cruel world were we have been taught just to hate and care about other people lifes, but in a bad way
I don't think all Christians hate gay people. I'd even venture to say that the majority of them believe you should be free to live your life and be happy with who you are. I was raised Christian and I don't ever remember being taught anything other than to love thy neighbor. I realized what religion really was a long time ago and don't have any religious beliefs today but there was nothing bigoted or hateful in what was preached to me growing up.
Kids at my Christian school are singing this constantly and I am just trying not to laugh since they don’t know what it actually means. (Edit: spelling) (Edit 2= I am going to clarify this. I AM CHRISTIAN! I Know that that doesn’t mean you’re homophobic! )
the first time that i listened to this, instead of singing ‘amen’ i would sing ‘gay men’ edit: i would sing this not because i wanted to, but because i thought that was what the song said and since the video matched, i never questioned it.
I remember one day I was on my social club's rooftop balcony like: "Who TF is blasting ´Take Me To Church´ in the middle of Millennium Park [in Chicago]?" and it ended up being Hozier himself rehearsing for his performance scheduled for days later! I was like 👁👄👁👂🏻
@Cátia My honest belief is that God doesn't exist. This doesn't mean I want you or anyone else to change their beliefs but to say that a life without God is empty is flat out incorrect. I have morals, same as anyone and my life is by no means empty. You asked "what is your hope in life?" and although the question was not directed at me, I feel the need to answer it. My hope is that I am able to impact the people in my life in a good way and that in the unlikely event that I ever have children, they inherit a world they want to live in, not a world full of evil like the one my generation inherited. You also said that people " living their best lives depressed anxious suiciding or going down into a spiral of evil." Depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies are evils in this world, but to imply that living that way was a choice is wrong and evil in itself. I have many friends who struggle with suicidal thoughts, depression, and other mental disorders and I can tell you that it sure as hell wasn't their fault. People who struggle with that do not deserve it in any way shape or form.
omg do i have a storytime for yall okay so when i was about 6-7 i was obsessed with this song but had no idea what thr meaning of it was and i wrote the whole lyrics onto a sheet and learned it off by heart and my mum found it and she thought something was seriously wrong with me 💀💀 and i cringe every time this comes onto the radio when im with my family coz they always remind me off the time i wrote the lyrics out🥶
I found out the meaning of this song pretty young. My cousin was gay, everybody knew it but not everybody accepted it. Our family was fine with it, but he got bullied the shit out of at school. I was very close with him. I’ve also always known I was different, he told me to be myself, and he showed me this song. he told me what it meant, in young person terms. I remember crying, I found it so disgusting how you could hate one another. He taught me to pursue love and peace. Those are the morals i still live by. I don’t know where my cousin is now, since he was distant. I hope he’s alright. I hope he knows I’m doing well and appreciate him.
Why confused? Religion doesnt follow to many set standards. You can literally make an alter out of legos, kill a bunch of fire ants, glue them together to look like a camaro and worship that calling yourself a High Poobah of your newly founded Crustifarian religion... Hardly Bhuddist or Christian or the like, but in the end its what you worship.
I still cry watching the box I envision holding pictures being tossed into the fire and his Lover watching helplessly from the brush as his Mate is being killed. This is what has always stayed with me, the love portrayed here in this song.
It makes me disgusted to see people being killed for being themselves.Religion is fine,as long as it means you aren't trying to make people feel bad for who they are
I'm Christian and that's what Christianity should be about, loving and accepting people even if they don't have the same believes as you and as long as they don't harm anybody it should be forgiven.
Daniel Mariacher as someone with a bad experience with religion. i appreciate christians like you. it shouldn’t have to be said that homophobia is wrong but unfortunately that’s not the case. anyway that’s for being respectful !💗
I would disagree. Following anything blindly just trains yo uto follow other things blindly. religion is bad because it is bad training for brains. sheep behaviour is a trait we needed back when we did not have technology. Now it is not needed anymore, and rationality should be sought, not dogma.
@@giannaoliveri2864 no it's not, it's about the hypocrisy of catholic adherents, the homophobes in the video are clearly employed or representative of the church
Ok the fact that people think this sing is about worshipping god o and Jesus is wrong it’s about. A gay dude getting harassed by a church and his boyfriend / husband was trying to find him after he got kidnapped
But has does this justify the song tho I'm not against gay or bi but the song never says nothing about this the video seems more about that but the music is about something else
thus showing how wrong you are. Maybe you should look into the original of the song which is not the same as that for the video. Trying to make yourself look clever only makes you look stupid.
I never thought this was a religious song, but I remember having to explain to one of my friends a couple of years ago that it wasn't a religious song. She told me & one of my friends (he is homosexual) that she thought it was a church song because he was saying "amen" & "take me to church" & we had to explain the song to her & she was like "Ohhhh." & I was like "Yeahhhh." & I had another friend who knew it wasn't a religious song, but also didn't realize that it was a song about homosexuality, but he thought it was about people judging the relationship of two lovers, male & female. But I say that point out the difference between being confused & actually listening & the fact of being confused because of not listening.
Jacob Compton facts! I’m religious too! Some of my friends claim to be Christian but talk down on gay people but turn a blind eye when they’re having pre-martial sex, getting unnecessarily drunk, cheating etc etc. I always tell them at the end of the day that same gay person might end up in heaven rather than them, they have no business judging that gay person when they’re sinning themselves all the time and I hate the fact that they whole heartily call themselves Christians and give us a bad name. I’m happy to come across another Christian like you😁
@jan osowski If two adults make each other happy, the only person that should hang is the person that disapproves of their happiness. I hate to think what sort of a personal hell someone must be in to want to hang someone for simply being happy. That particular hell on earth has really got some people messed up, but please don't try and spread your misery by trying to end others happiness.
I'd be honored if some Hozier fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends of both yesterday and today.
seeing so many positive and recent comments makes me so happy. we're not alone. people are becoming more accepting. people are starting to understand. just being supportive is doing so much, thank you, so much.
Yes! We're supporting you guys! Even though I'm not gay, I support them from the bottom of my heart cuz they deserve the right to love! We can't shut other's feelings and block them from coming out! We support you guys and plz don't be afraid to open up!
I guess this is our natural evolution. The more people are being open, the more people know about it. It's also natural people fearing "something new" like homosexuality (I'm not saying it didn't exist, just there wasn't this freedom we have nowadays). People used to fear using computers when they were new.
there is a lot of supporter since the very beggining but you only see the bastard against you ;u; To my mind everyone is free to do whatever he wants so long as he doesn't disturb the others
It's not even about sexuality. Here is a direct quote so stop saying what you think it's about without researching. Lyrically the song 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." Speaking with The Irish Times, Hozier said about matters of the heart: "I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death, a death of everything. You kind of watch yourself die in a wonderful way, and you experience for the briefest moment - if you see yourself for a moment through their eyes - everything you believed about yourself gone. In a death-and-rebirth sense."
This song always hits my heart in the deepest way. I've been out for over 20 years. I hold dearly to my soul the conversations I've had with folks who came out 40+ years before I even existed. Pride ..is a riot. Always.

steff you, If only it was true, I’d go to church every week pray everyday until the day I die for this to come true. Unfortunately it’s not haha, I wish though.
what really bothers me is that, although these men are supposed to be Christian, they are acting literally that opposite of how God says to act. hey Christians, " love your neighbor," "be kind," "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," "take no revenge," "but the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, and self-control," any of that ring a bell?
Kitty they are Catholic not Christian and quite clearly mocking yet loving at the same time that religion, in Ireland where they're from most people are catholics, they understand the religion but don't agree, its that simple, brought up to believe in something so sinful
@@marcoantonio4145 im straight but what you said was literally the most offensive comment targeted to gays only. Sounds almost..... How do i say this kindly.... HOMOPHOBIC
Marco Sampedro Have fun in hell then because if you think it's a sin to be gay, it's also sin to judge. So I'm sure God is really happy with these horrible hate comments that you've taken time out of your day to make when you could've just shut the fuck up and ate your food.
madison seldat Yeah like I said I’m the bad guy for speaking my mind. Okay. I’ll be seeing you there. Hopefully you enjoy my company. I don’t mind, when ever I go, seems like you don’t know me, I’m always responsible for my actions. Unlike the rest of the guys or people, I accept destiny or my punishment. Thank you for speaking your mind, Have a wonder day/ night. :) Also you cannot describe anything without judging it. And yes I know it’s a sin, but remember god also forgives your sins, and I’m not saying that gay people will go to hell either, I’m just saying become a better individual.

Dude religion is maybe the first kick of bringing people together and make humanity because it made people follow just a little order.There are still countries in which you can get in prison or killed for being gay and it's fu*king stupid to think these people are lower.All the nations are different and accept different things and you can't force others to do as your new moral point of view says.
@@slavkafegiev3474 thats false religion doesnt bring people together, instead it divides them into different social groups. There are way more problems due to disagreement over religion.
@@slavkafegiev3474 i agree with the moral point of view to a degree however most of the population feel the need to have others think and act as they do so because there is not a mutual standard there will never be peace
@Exploding Penguin Dude religion doesn't care about social groups.The priests bless with the one hand and take goods with the another.Religion doesn't devide people it accept everyone as long as they can give something (which is also wrong but that's not the point). That's mainly about Catholics because in the orthodox churches you are not forced to give or say anything and you can pray yourself without confessing anyone you're gay.Also homosexuality isn't accepted in China or India and many others combined make more of half of the world's population.Even in the countries where it isn't illegal doesn't mean it is accepted by the nation.This idea isn't as accepted as you think and that's not because people "want to kill them" but rather their understands and there's nothing wrong with that as long as one side doesn't claim to be the right one.I don't mind americans accepting this with laws as long as they don't try to spread it in every possible way around the world.

He’s dog water, boxed like a fish, he’s lost more lost than Helen Keller looking for her glasses, dollar tree headset, earning check on wait he doesn’t have any “ throws him in fire”
I didn't get that his love was getting killed in the end is that from the video cuz I didn't get it just from the lyrics enlighten me I'm not condescending
Yes I did already reply however I don't think I ever saw the video in fact I know I didn't I just take the lyrics literally as I interpret them no visual
you ever think about the fact that these vocals were recorded at 2am in his attic…true talent, true artistry
Keisha Valenzuela yep!! i think i found it on the wikipedia page for the song
Hozier recorded his vocals in his attic at 3 a.m. one January morning in 2013. "We re-recorded bits around it, " he said, "but I boshed the vocals in for my laptop."
fuck bruh,thats awesome!
Oh now it's true Talant okay... it's just your stupidity!!

Lyrics: Hozier - Take Me To Church
[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

Everyone wonders whats in the box...its his secret that no one knows so he has hidden it (him being gay) then when they come to him to find out his secret but they find it and start beating open the box like they are beating him, the box is him they want to open it to tell everyone to let his secret out. Thats what I get out of it.
Yeah it's supposed to be symbolic I believe
ive once seen a comment saying that the box symbolizes their relationship, rather than him being gay.
I thought that those were pictures of his lover, implying his relationship with him.
@@justsomerandomname2067 their relationship revolves around him being gay.
@@krissymissy1888 yesyes, but i do like the relationship interpretation more :)
It’s literally so sad that people get killed for race, religion, sexuality and more, they aren’t hurting you so why do you hate them?
Edit: ain’t no way y’all fighting over this…
Geronimo Cad they don’t lmao
It's because every human has a hard coded, genetic primordial fear in their DNA. That is the fear of the unknown. This applies to EVERYTHING that is different from what YOU KNOW based on your perception of reality, and how your unique experiences. This is why I fucking hated highschool. It's litearlly one big circle jerk of jugement. Every one has their group of frinds that are somewhat like them, and if you don't fit in to their "click" you are outcasted by that group and most of the people in it. This even applies to the adult world, which is fucking sad as fuck. You would think most in highschool would grow up, and be like "THAT EXPERIENCE WAS FUCKING AWFUL! Let's be more open to our fellow homosapian." But no, we judge what we don't understand, even if it is subconcious, and not conciously. Looking at this issue down to it's absolute raw, unfiltered core is horribly depressing.
@Geronimo Cad oh shutup man
@Geronimo Cad Bruh
People get angry when other people tell them something they don't like
And People get killed, no matter what race or gender
It's just something that happens, and it's not always because of racism
Although it is pretty ridiculous to kill someone, accusing them of being racist when they've done nothing wrong
Geronimo Cad he already said race why did you have to make it all about white people

I first heard this song on the radio, and it was after therapy for my PTSD and religious trauma syndrome. I believe this song was written with one story line in mind, but can be flexible on it's meaning to any trauma situation in life, especially extreme cults and organised religious groups
Fun fact: when I was younger, I wondered why they didn’t play this on Sunday with the other Christian songs.

I love how christians are fighting for this to not be a gay song and to be a christian song while in the chorus it littlearly says how the church is stabbing ur back and its a shrine of lies.
I’m Christian, I feel so terrible for anyone who’s been discriminated for their race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc. due to the church. It’s the literal opposite to what we’re supposed to be doing. The Bible says love everyone, including gay people. I don’t know how there’s so many Christians who think they’re better than everyone else and get to condemn people.
@@shreksgrandma722 I honestly love people like you, many of my friends and my stepdad are really homofobic because they're "christians" and "the Bible says it's wrong", and even if I try to make up their minds they keep ignoring me... I think that's why I abandoned the religion, because if that's what a christian should think, then I won't call myself a christian; however, people like you still gives me hope that God is love and everyone is loved equally by Him :)
@@anamelchior7194 the stupid thing is that the bible doesn't really condemn homosexuality. there's Genesis 9:20-27, Genesis 19:1-11, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, etc. But these are strictly directed at the sons of israel, descendants of abraham. Most were instructions given by Moses specifically to the hebrew peoples. And a significant part of Christ's legacy was making it so that these rules did not apply to the gentiles, or non-jews.
The only occurrences of condemnation for homosexuality in the new testament are 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Timothy 1:10 and Romans 1:26-27. In these cases, however, they are truly meant to condemn 1. Male Prostitution, 2.Pederasty and 3. The Cult of Isis
people really need to learn their fuckin history. it really bothers me how many christians walk around committing countless affronts against their religion. there's nothing about christianity that outlaws homosexuals except an ignorance about which parts of the bible actually apply to you.
@@mastermanio2 Oh, I didn't know that, I think I should take some time to read the bible instead of hearing what my parents and friends tell me and their interpretation of it; thanks for the information buddie, this honestly makes me feel happier that christianism doesn't actually have something against homosexuality :)
@@anamelchior7194 yea we shouldn’t be homophobic but we cannot support ur sexuality, we are neither for or against u
I just now realized that when he’s saying “amen”, it sounds like he’s saying “gay men”, I know he isn’t but I can’t get it out of my head now
He is saying "being with... A man" Its actually ironic that some people actually go as far as thinking this is a religious song just by hearing the chorus. (Until they see the video...)
I hear gay men but I hear amen at the same time
Gaaaayy men.
I thought he say Eyy man

And now I am praying to god if you could give me a ride.

Because, their books says that way. That's why, I think...
@@apairofscales i think the book is just an excuse. something else bothers them and the book is an excuse. there is so much in the book that is not followed nor referenced at all.

@@Anna-ql4yz The homophobic part of people is mostly Muslim, can't say wrong about Bible. I don't have that knowledge about Bible. But Qur'an hates gay people.
@@apairofscales alot of Christian's think that you should dislike and even hate gay people. God intended for love to be between man and woman, and a lot of people saw this as an excuse. I'm here to say that it's not true, you must love your fellow man as yourself. even if they dislike the bible or hate religion.

And the "worship in the bedroom" part gives it away too

That line is in reference to a poem by fluke Graville
The singer has also came out and said this was something he was thinking about when writing the song
I think it's about, the people that we rather love above hate, money or race we are some kind of "sicks" in a cruel world were we have been taught just to hate and care about other people lifes, but in a bad way
I remember they played this song on the way home in the bus from christian girls camp and all the girls & leaders were singing along LMFAOOOO
PLEASSEEEE THEY HAD NO FUCKIN IDEAAA
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Whoaaaaaaa this comment just made my day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They had no fuckkkkkkkkkking idea
I don't think all Christians hate gay people. I'd even venture to say that the majority of them believe you should be free to live your life and be happy with who you are. I was raised Christian and I don't ever remember being taught anything other than to love thy neighbor. I realized what religion really was a long time ago and don't have any religious beliefs today but there was nothing bigoted or hateful in what was preached to me growing up.
LMFAOOOOO 💀💀💀💀💀
Kids at my Christian school are singing this constantly and I am just trying not to laugh since they don’t know what it actually means.

@Cátia what do you mean by start a new life?
Cátia I mean like, I’m going to hell either way lol, why bother to change for the better when I can live my best life?
@Cátia My honest belief is that God doesn't exist. This doesn't mean I want you or anyone else to change their beliefs but to say that a life without God is empty is flat out incorrect. I have morals, same as anyone and my life is by no means empty. You asked "what is your hope in life?" and although the question was not directed at me, I feel the need to answer it. My hope is that I am able to impact the people in my life in a good way and that in the unlikely event that I ever have children, they inherit a world they want to live in, not a world full of evil like the one my generation inherited. You also said that people " living their best lives depressed anxious suiciding or going down into a spiral of evil." Depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies are evils in this world, but to imply that living that way was a choice is wrong and evil in itself. I have many friends who struggle with suicidal thoughts, depression, and other mental disorders and I can tell you that it sure as hell wasn't their fault. People who struggle with that do not deserve it in any way shape or form.

I found out the meaning of this song pretty young. My cousin was gay, everybody knew it but not everybody accepted it. Our family was fine with it, but he got bullied the shit out of at school. I was very close with him. I’ve also always known I was different, he told me to be myself, and he showed me this song. he told me what it meant, in young person terms. I remember crying, I found it so disgusting how you could hate one another. He taught me to pursue love and peace. Those are the morals i still live by.

One symptom of fascism is syncretism. I was simultaneously taught both tolerance and anti-gay propaganda in a christian school.
Why confused? Religion doesnt follow to many set standards. You can literally make an alter out of legos, kill a bunch of fire ants, glue them together to look like a camaro and worship that calling yourself a High Poobah of your newly founded Crustifarian religion... Hardly Bhuddist or Christian or the like, but in the end its what you worship.

You’re not the only one hahahah❤️😂
You’ve been missing out
seeing so many positive and recent comments makes me so happy. we're not alone. people are becoming more accepting. people are starting to understand. just being supportive is doing so much, thank you, so much.
Yes! We're supporting you guys! Even though I'm not gay, I support them from the bottom of my heart cuz they deserve the right to love! We can't shut other's feelings and block them from coming out! We support you guys and plz don't be afraid to open up!
I guess this is our natural evolution. The more people are being open, the more people know about it. It's also natural people fearing "something new" like homosexuality (I'm not saying it didn't exist, just there wasn't this freedom we have nowadays). People used to fear using computers when they were new.
Awww
I've been excepting since forever cuz that's how I was raised to be accepting to differences those homophobes disgust me
there is a lot of supporter since the very beggining but you only see the bastard against you ;u;
To my mind everyone is free to do whatever he wants so long as he doesn't disturb the others
Religious moms: Sing this song because it has amen in it
Their lgbtq+ children: (:O)
me be like
It's not even about sexuality. Here is a direct quote so stop saying what you think it's about without researching.
Lyrically the song 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."
Speaking with The Irish Times, Hozier said about matters of the heart: "I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death, a death of everything. You kind of watch yourself die in a wonderful way, and you experience for the briefest moment - if you see yourself for a moment through their eyes - everything you believed about yourself gone. In a death-and-rebirth sense."
@@UnderTheMillkyWay did.. you not see the actual video?

@@saharagoodwin6803 did... you not read what the artist said about their own song?

what really bothers me is that, although these men are supposed to be Christian, they are acting literally that opposite of how God says to act. hey Christians, " love your neighbor," "be kind," "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," "take no revenge," "but the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, and self-control," any of that ring a bell?
Why am I only allowed to like once?
Kitty they are Catholic not Christian and quite clearly mocking yet loving at the same time that religion, in Ireland where they're from most people are catholics, they understand the religion but don't agree, its that simple, brought up to believe in something so sinful

Thank you for speaking your mind, Have a wonder day/ night.

Also you cannot describe anything without judging it. And yes I know it’s a sin, but remember god also forgives your sins, and I’m not saying that gay people will go to hell either, I’m just saying become a better individual.

this is a song about not letting religion get ahead of your Humanity
Dude religion is maybe the first kick of bringing people together and make humanity because it made people follow just a little order.There are still countries in which you can get in prison or killed for being gay and it's fu*king stupid to think these people are lower.All the nations are different and accept different things and you can't force others to do as your new moral point of view says.
Or it is a song that just f**** with people's heads
@@slavkafegiev3474 thats false religion doesnt bring people together, instead it divides them into different social groups. There are way more problems due to disagreement over religion.
@@slavkafegiev3474 i agree with the moral point of view to a degree however most of the population feel the need to have others think and act as they do so because there is not a mutual standard there will never be peace
@Exploding Penguin Dude religion doesn't care about social groups.The priests bless with the one hand and take goods with the another.Religion doesn't devide people it accept everyone as long as they can give something (which is also wrong but that's not the point). That's mainly about Catholics because in the orthodox churches you are not forced to give or say anything and you can pray yourself without confessing anyone you're gay.Also homosexuality isn't accepted in China or India and many others combined make more of half of the world's population.Even in the countries where it isn't illegal doesn't mean it is accepted by the nation.This idea isn't as accepted as you think and that's not because people "want to kill them" but rather their understands and there's nothing wrong with that as long as one side doesn't claim to be the right one.I don't mind americans accepting this with laws as long as they don't try to spread it in every possible way around the world.
When I was younger I never understood this song or love but now that I’m older I can recognize what this song is about and appreciate it a lot more as a queer person

gay people
ikr! they heard church, sunday, and amen and just assumed without even listenening clearly to the lyrics or watching the music vid
It makes me laugh at my homophobic aunts😂
Catholics just like "it's called take me to church. And they talk about heaven Sunday and say amen a lot. What else could it be about" Sooo cringe
🧞 Lyrics 🧞
My lover's got humour
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
Aaay. 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 so 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 so 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
Ooh 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 so 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 so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
