An Interpretation Of Take Me To Church

Introduction
Take me to Church which is a sung by the Irish artist Hozier, was chosen because it focuses on the critical views in a society and the awareness on human rights. This particular video is important to understand how others in the world are viewed or not accepted in a society all because of their beliefs, values, and other social aspects. As Hozier stated in his interview with the New York Magazine, “Take Me to Church’ is essentially about sex, but it’s a tongue-in-cheek attack at organizations and churches that would undermine humanity by successfully teaching shame about sexual orientation that it is sinful. The song is about asserting yourself and reclaiming your humanity through an act of love, it's reclaiming humanity back for
For example, “Offer me my deathless death Good God left me give you my life” can be expressed as everlasting death leaving it in Gods hands. Due to the lovers sins they are aware of the possible consequences of their action. However, their love is a worthwhile experience that is tangible and real.

Last but not least a symbolic motif of a mysterious box was shown several times throughout the video. In the beginning we see one of the homosexual males digging a hole in the ground to place the box in, the next scene we see his significant other looking for him and realizes both are missing. He begins to panic for the worse in search for him and the box. When he finally finds him, faith is too late and the box is destroyed and his lover is killed. There is a possibility that this mysterious box is a reference to Pandora’s box, because they threw the box away in the fire to get rid of all the evil. The myth behind Pandora’s box is that it contains all the evil in
