Take Me to Church

This song is rather Dark, and very Deceptive in it's Meaning and Reference to a 'Church'.

Unlike some of you have said, this song, regardless of what the Music Video portrays, is NOT about Homosexuality at all.

This Song uses the 'Church' as a Metaphor to mean something almost Completely the Opposite. Which is - in fact - The Topic to cover-up it's Subliminal-Message(s).

In the beginning of the Song, the Singer is Referring to 'She' as:

A) Someone who finds Humour in watching people Mourn at a Funeral. B) Someone who he wants to 'Worship'. C) Someone in which is a 'Mouthpiece' of sorts, much like a Liar.

It speaks of Sadistic-Desires and uses Context of the Church, to 'Worship' either a Living Being, or Entity that he acknowledges and respects.

" She tells me 'worship in the bedroom' The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you "

This is purely Sexual and attempts to use Lust as a replacement for Logic and Thinking. He is basically Seduced by 'She'.

" I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well "

This is where he Admits his Insanity, but states that he 'Loves it'. He is condoning that he is no longer an Individual, as he states "Command me to be well". This Statement is also using Terms right out of right-out of the Bible out-of-context to try and Subliminally Confuse those who are weak enough to believe it. Which he try's to Reinforce, by using Another Metaphor from the Church:

"Amen, Amen, Amen"

He is trying to Hide the Meaning of his Song, by Disguising it with a Common Statement of ending it with 'Amen', which REALLY Means: MAKE IT SO. So - He's trying to make it Happen, via the reverse-use of Amen.

This is a really Deceptive way of Confusing people. It is a Tool used to provoke Evil.

He also states that he wants to 'Worship like a Dog at the shrine of your Lies'. Clearly, this isn't about The Church at all. No one worships like a Dog in a Church. That's really sad and Shallow to worship like a Dog. *This is purely the acts of worshipping Evil, rather than Good.

'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'

This is Really Powerful Stuff! He's Offering to Sacrifice Himself, just to Service the 'Mouth Piece' or 'Shrine of Lies'. Furthermore, there is a Subliminal-Message here! : The Way that the 1st line Above was Written goes like THIS:

"I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife". But it's Easily Interpreted as; 'I'll tell you my sins and you can show me your wife'. Or Knife. Either are words of Weapons used to Counter what is Positive and what is Real. This is a Subliminal-Message!! : He's comparing himself to a Slave.

" If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight "

Here, he basically admits he is a 'Fair-Weather' Pegan, and see's 'She' as the 'Sunlight'. He is basically stating his point-of-view as being distorted and possibly Controlled by the entity he calls 'She'.

" To keep the goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice "

This is where things start to take-motion: He is saying, that In Order for him to Remain on HER Side, he must make a Sacrifice. Clearly, he isn't GOOD Enough as he is, and must make some kind of Sacrifice to be Accepted. This is Consistent with a Cult, but also is Propagating a Slave / Master relationship.

" To drain the whole sea Get something shiny "

THIS is something I Missed while Listening to the Song:

A Purely-Subliminal Message, talking about 'Draining the Sea', to 'get something Shiny'. This is only Consistent with Monatomic-Gold, which can be Extracted from Sea Water.

And here is where things get Sexual and Perverted:

" Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse " " What you got in the stable? "

This is purely Lust and Pornographic-Imagery. This is another Tool used, to cover-up the primary-meaning of the Song.

" We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work "

He's basically talking about Lust, and tries to compare is to Slavery, which it could be. And, he's admitting Defeat at this point... It's basically sex.

He goes further, with the 2nd Verse:

"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"

He is Diluted by the 'She's' Subduction. He is being Controlled by the She. He Denies she is his "Master" or "King". He compares Delusion with Innocence, which is rather Deceptive once again. And he is in such Delusion within the Situation, he actually believes that he is now 'Clean', which the 'She' would WANT him to think!

And Once Again - He Reinforces this with 'Amen, Amen, Amen'. He is being Possessed without knowing it.

This could be compared to Distraction, Possessiveness, Prostitution, a Dom and Sub relationship, etc. I would like to Conclude, that much of what he Stated in the Opening, is now being proven False. The 'Mouth Piece' isn't 'True', or from Heaven at all. He Bought into the 'Lies'.

This Song could Also be about the Unfortunate Journey's that people follow and lies they buy-into, such as Lust and Deception. The Fallen, who are forever Lost. He may be Exposing the Evil in which occurs all too often in the world we live in, the Mouth Pieces and Liars.

It is interesting, that too many people think this is about Homosexuality, just because the Music Video displays that. The Popular position of Homosexuality is mainly in the Favour of Liberation. What this song is about, is Completely the Opposite:

*It's about finding Love and Contentment in Slavery. It's about Sacrifice, and giving-in to Lies. Then wanting to be Devoured. The Result of Temptation and Deception.

The Title 'Take Me To Church' is Incredibly Deceptive, in that he's really talking about being 'Taken' to a different place. Somewhere Dark, Depressing.

The Title of the Song translates to 'Take me to Hell', as this is where the song goes without the Singer even being Aware.

I find the Lyrics to be Modified for Subliminal-Purposes, and I really doubt that this song was originally Written with the Intent of hidden-meanings in mind.

However, on a Side Note, this is a really Interesting Song, and may be one of the most Unique Songs of this Decade. I just wish that more people could understand the Meaning, without having to refer to more disillusions. Which, Ironically, is what this Song is about
