It’s the jokes of Gen Z all over again!
This generation can make a funny meme out of a song with a sad tone. They did the same thing to the popular song “Take Me Church” by Hozier.
But the Millenials were the ones who came up with the songs first. The meme started with a joke about Sneople, also known as the Snake people. The meme is now making a comeback on Tiktok.
Meaning Behind Hozier’s Offer Me That Deathless Death
Hozier says that the meaning of the song “Offer Me That Deathless Death” is a promise of life forever.
In an interview, the singer explained what the phrase meant by saying, “One of the main promises you hear in church. They tell you that you will go to heaven when you die. But you won’t get anything out of it unless you give up your free time. And it’s quite a raw deal!”
Memes, on the other hand, have completely changed what the song is about. About seven years ago, someone switched the words “church” and “snurch” in a joke.
It seems that the word “snurch,” which isn’t in the Oxford English Dictionary, means “Snail Church.” This was a new part of a joke that has been going on for a long time about snake people, also known as reptilian humans.
In the past few days, this meme has been brought back by Tiktok. And many people who come across the meme don’t understand it.
A sad song became a Twitter meme
A Tumblr user named rhubabe wrote “take me to snurch (snail church)” on March 14, 2015. Over the next six weeks, more than 60,000 people liked the meme.
People started making their own versions of the meme after it became popular. Someone on Reddit even posted the whole “Take me to Church” song in Snurch humour.
Even though he first showed up years ago, Offer Me That Deathless Death is still going strong on Twitter. Someone tweets about the song once in a while.
The meme made its way to Tiktok in the end. Millions of videos have the song “Take me to church” in the background. Some of them are talking about serious things, some are showing off their singing skills, and the rest are just making memes.
“Take Me to Wap” is the name of a song that someone made. Another person took the song “Driving Licences” by Olivia Rodrigo and “Take Me to Church” and made a masterpiece.
What Does Offer Me That Deathless Death Mean in Lyrics?
Hozier’s Take me to Church, which came out in 2013, was a rock radio hit. The song reached number two on the Billboard 100 chart and was certified platinum in more than one country.

The music video for the song shows how Church treats the LGBGTQ+ community badly. In the same way, the song is played slowly and the video is in black and white.
Hozier says that the song is a metaphor that shows how he feels about the Church. He is said to have written the song after a heartbreaking breakup.
