早安英文 第11期:Take Me To Church

 歌词精讲：

My lover's got humor
She's the「giggle 1」 at a funeral
Knows everybody's「disapproval 2」
I should've「worship」her sooner
这是一首以同性爱人口吻创作出来的歌曲，第一句中的「she」其实是讲的自己的同性恋爱人。
giggle v. 吃吃地笑 “她”在葬礼上发出了 笑声，实际上是说他的爱人有点“离经叛道”，敢于“coming out”（出柜）。
disapproval ｎ. 不赞成
我们的感情是不被世人所认可的。因此，同性恋者会hide their true sexual orientation 3.
worshipｖ. 崇拜
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the「shrine 4」 of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good god, let me give you my life
这段是歌曲的副歌部分，也是整首歌情感的爆发。
shrine v. 把……封为神圣。“我将把你的谎言奉为圣旨”这句歌词的反讽意味十分浓厚。
