I go to a catholic school and in religion we had to pick a song that had a deep meaning (other then love songs) one of the girls picked this song and you should’ve seen how triggered the teacher got
Aya’s Piano damn you should find a different catholic school lol, i went to one for one year and everyone was so gay and all the nuns knew it and loved everyone
That girl is literally me
How did they react?
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.
Girl GamerX5 but not "literally".
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
My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval They 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 A-a-a-a-a-a-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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh good God, let me give you my life

Did you live under a rock?
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."

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 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 💀💀💀💀💀
Tengo una gran pesar, me siento fatal, pero simplemente existo a pesar del dolor qué hay en mi, está canción no me va a quitar el malestar, pero sin duda me ayuda a sobrellevarlo, la música para mi es un compañero, alguien que está conmigo y me ayuda a sentirme reconfortado, esta canción me cautivo desde que la escuche, y la verdad me sigue encantado, la letra, la voz… me ayuda a sentirme tranquilo. Y el mensaje me hace conectar.
Ease up, Castro!
*”We we’re born sick, You heard them say it”* NO ONE should have to hear that for being themselves. I’m a Christian and I DON’T CARE if I get hate for this comment. People should be able to be themselves WITHOUT HATE. In the Bible it says to love others around you, so why’s are people getting hate for being themselves?!
Im an atheist and I don't care if your christian only if you deny science or hurt others (I know most christians don't do that now but It could get worse)
There are times when it seems that people ignore their own beliefs just to belittle or hate something and they don't realize it.
Because they are misguided
@@lightBulb-ny2ooGod created them, he loves them all. Love thy neighbor.
People will conveniently use their "religion" to persecute against others. It's been that way since humans started religious beliefs. Most every religion preaches to be a good person, but a lot of bad people like to ignore that.
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
"we were born sick, heard them sayin' " Like exactly thats the part where y'all can get its about homosexuality
And the "worship in the bedroom" part gives it away too
2020
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
10 years later and i still get goosebumps at this song and this video still makes me sob. Thank you for your work ❤

10 years!! Holey Moly! Feels like last week! This is one amazing, beautiful, awesome piece of art! Sad. But true.
Wow it's my first time watching the music video (though I've heard the song before) but I was in awe and was grabbing on my seat due to intense music video. Great job!! Let's aim for 1 billion views!!
Reminder that this shit STILL happens. people are still murdered for their sexual orientation, so videos like this are still just as important. Be safe, but be proud everyone
yes about 19% of hate crimes in the US are against LGBTQ as of 2019 (I don't see any reliable sites with more recent data)
I am so happy that I live in a country were it is quite safe for LGBTQ people
How are you oppressed by the same system that ensures your freedom, like I’m not trying to sound mean or sarcastic I just don’t understand
@@talentedbutnotskilled-agni7798 because it doesn’t ensure the freedom and safety of all, that’s the point. If it did then gay marriage wouldn’t have just been legalized in 2013 and still in many rural parts of America gay people can be attacked or even killed and the police won’t even investigate the incident 🤷♂️
What system are you referring too? Cause I assume you are talking about Turkey, Singapore or Irap. Or pretty much any country that doesn't conform to modern western culture right? You know, the ones where they sentence you to life in prison, or worse simply because of the fact you are gay. Or the ones where 91% of the population nationwide are against gay marriage? Truthfully now, ASSUMING you live in a westernized country you are priveledged enough to be able to live you life without REAL systematic oppression or prosecution, yet it is still something to overdramatize. A few bad seeds doesn't mean you are 'oppressed by the system'. Wake up. (and just incase you start talking about the persecution of the gays and blacks in the USA, take note on the words 'modern society') And Emma Lucas... Yes, that's true. But seriously, of course LGBTQ are going to be up on the list of number of "HATE crimes". That's like saying 'did you know that 1 in 2 racially motivated crimes are against women'. It's sad, and I wish both crimes didn't exist in our society but it's a strange point.
Ok but no one is talking about his lover getting killed in the end, that really broke my heart into pieces.
I don’t think the killed him they burned the box in front of him causing him pain
@@rishavbagchi7543 I think he's dead because when they were kicking him he is not moving :
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

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.

i'm from a catholic school and a member of a poetry club. The teacher showed this to us and told us to decipher both the lyrics and the music video. It was a bit awkward at first but for people who is into poetry, we should be open for almost everything. I treated this as a new perspective back then. I still love this to this day

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 find it ironic how you people argue with each other on a video of a song that promotes peace. I am agnostic, and support gay rights. Should God be real, and being gay is a sin, then that is for THAT GOD to decide, not you. I was once a Christian and I distinctly remember being told not to judge people, and to respect my peers. Grow up. This video promotes nothing but peace. It promotes the acceptance of all people in this world, regardless of their religion, sexual orientation, or even views on either of the two. Learn some respect when you talk to people.
Couldn't agree with u more

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.

Here Comes LYRICS - 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 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

You're a dilligent person
It is " my church offers no absolution"
Turn on cc yaar
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.
Lol
Lmaoooooo
I thought it's "eey men" like hello men listen to me 😂
Lol
@@user-ns5ck1do1z опа, привет 😼
2024 and I'm still listening to this song ♥
This song is my favourite song because of the vocals
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! )
They played themselves
So what if its a Christian school?
@@Fumpington that doesn't mean that they themselves practices it tho
Being Christian does not equal being homofobic
I'm Christian. I don't agree with it but im not homophobic. Do whatever the hell you want.
2014: Try not to sing 2021: Try not to cry
Ikr
Exactly my guy
😘
2022: try not to laugh
Yes
so it's 2024 I'm from russia and I've decided to rewatch this video after I read in the news that one of my compatriots was fined for having this clip on her social network page. I'm actually crying.
жиза я тоже
@@_shbsmnz это пиздец:(
Bro 10 years now and it’s still a masterpiece
if your religion requires hate, it’s not a religion, it’s you modelling it to fit your homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. stop hating on people, if you believe in God you must believe in love. from a muslim girl.
Muslims believe in a different god than christians, christians don’t believe to hate gays they just believe that homosexuality is wrong.
@@lazerhornet794 we do belive in the same God 😂
@@lazerhornet794 if you were a real Christian you would know the bible was mistranslated by a homophobic bitch ☺. Didnt god teach you to love one another and not hate? 🤔
LazerHornet You arent even Christian so dont judge our religion from stereotypes and what boomers think.
@@lazerhornet794 they are basically the same god its like zeus and Jupiter are the same
After 6 years I’m still trying to understand what’s in the box

Essa música tem uma força que não consigo explicar.
“My church offers no absolutes” good, only a Sith deals in absolutes.

And this song is beautiful and I never stopped listening to it
I'm a 175 year old turtle from Yugoslavia and I love this song..
I remember one day I was on my 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 👁👄👁👂🏻
LUCKY!!
wait wait hold up the fuck? like really? LOL!!!
Wow
Pls stop with those cringey emojis
WAIT WHAT
I'm straight man... But honestly, wken they kiss at that exact time In the song with that triumphant, fuck everything we're in love moment it was just beautiful
Time stamp ???

Need more peeps like you :)
hi i did a cover of this, you dont have to watch it but if you do, maybe leave some constructive criticism under it :)
You're a good one, bro.
I had no idea tbis songs as old as it is. Thought only a few yrs. Such a good song
Nobody: My child ass singing this song 6 yrs. ago not knowing the meaning: (-0-)
Same. Now i know and its sad tbh
So you are 12/13 now?
He means 6 yrs ago not that he was 12 or 13 lmao.
So you are 12/13 *now*
Mr Krabs no he sang the song six years in the past meaning that he could’ve been 12 then and 18 now or any age
2026 anyone?
Nope.. Only 2049
heard this back in 2014 and still appreciating it 10 years later, this song will live on forever.
One of the powerful songs of its time.
Religion is about love guys, not hatred. Your religion does NOT justify these actions. You people who think you can murder innocent people are absolutely SICK.
Apparently God doesn't like people who are LGBTQ+:/ so uhh
"Religion" is NOT about love...it's about segregation, money and promoting judgemental behavior. Religion is evil.
Thou shalt not kill...
God loves all people. Keep that in mind. But when people do unholy things that is different. He still loves them but if they don’t repent they will end up away from him forever. Also you mentioning religion, have you ever looked at other ones that kill Christians because their religion says so?
I think you mean humanities perception of religion.
i remember when i listened to this has a kid, now that i know stuff, im like: "OHH THATS WHY"
Same
as a kid? this video is only 5 years old. I've probably got underwear older than you
how old r u now?

Only the best people have loved ones laughing at their funeral.
Мы выросли и теперь эта песня вызывает чувство ностальгии
why did i think reading the comments would be fun?
Because sometimes it is? :P. Its never fun to read comments under a video thet happens to mention homosexuality, never any kind comments.. Just hatefull ones sadly.
Honestly, it's saddening, everything from Taliban to what's wrong with the US. How very negative.
Eddie N. homosexuals are entitled to their freedom
michali schlosser Do me a favor and lock yourself in a closet, and never leave it. That is disrespectfull.
michali schlosser if they die they will go to heaven..but if you die you will go to hell bc God always said that people should be free to love..He never said that gays are abominations..people like you are the abominations to this world and its sad bc you will never find real love..i dont feel sorry for gays,i m proud of them bc they are brave enough to face people like you..but i feel so sorry for you bc you dont know anything about love and kindness... you have no idea how it feels to see someone you love get hurt from ignorant people(like you) bc he/she is just different from them...to be different its not shame its remarkable.i really hope one day when and if you have children (and i really hope for the opposite..bc you are not good to be a parent) but if you do i hope your kids turn to be gays..then you will realise how stupid and ignorant you are now...
Hozier, when this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Chess Piece” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕😊
Esta canção é um grito de socorro😢
Absolutely all of you beautiful people are valid. You’re family doesn’t accept you? I’m you’re new family. You’re doing great
Dad I want money gimme 500$
My fam excepts me can you be my friend
Karma the Grim Reaper ofccc. My Instagram is @thatcoolkidme my pms are always open :)
Respect

I know this song isn’t Christian but Hozier kinda looks like Jesus.
Lol!
No pls go to church dont be gay
steff you Hmm... do you understand how sexuality works?
Hozier is jesus period
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.
who's still listening to this in 2024 👇
My perents jamming to what they think is a Christian song Me actually seen the video and knowing the meaning...
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.
@@Dermacrosis you sound stupid ngl
@@Dermacrosis uh.......are you okay? Cause you sound kinda angry and uh there could be a huge misunderstanding-
@@Dermacrosis uhh.. What the..
but why would anyone think it's a christian song- unless their just completely oblivious and just listen to the melody :v
I can't believe how long I've known this song for without knowing what it was about.
What does it mean?
@@zandillo6596 it’s about how the church is insanely homophobic towards gay ppl and how they have to hide themselves from it
i used to think this was a religious song about church when i was younger, i’d didnt know the meaning until like 2 years ago😭🤚
Same, I don't usually watch music videos but I'm glad I looked this one up
@@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
Essa música , só lembranças boas do primeiro amor , porém uma trágica história a letra se refere ❤
Cuando esta canción, salió yo tenia 8 años y era mi favorita. Todo el tiempo sonaba en Alfa 91.3
"We were born sick, you heard them say it" if this doesn't give a truer meaning of this song then idk what else will.
:(
Thanks
@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.
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
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
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.
i feel u
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.
