Love this songs lyrics! Interesting... Lyrical interpretation Lyrically, Take Me to Church is a metaphor, with the protagonist comparing his lover to religion. In an interview with The Irish Times, Hozier stated, 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. The song pays tribute to the late New Atheist author Christopher Hitchens, with the line I was born sick; command me to be well.
