10 Something about "Take me to church"
Near the end of the song, he re-summarizes his thesis:
"In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean."
(Take me to church - Hozier)
What the church considers an "earthly scene"--intercourse not within a heterosexual marriage--Hozier finds to be one way to ultimate satisfaction in life, something to be pursued and claims it to be "innocence." To end the song, he compares the love he has just described to his view of the church, repeating the chorus twice, emphasizing the stark contrast he sees there.
