    The song is about worshipping a lover instead of God. The singer says their lover is funny and knows people disapprove of their relationship, but they should have worshipped her sooner. The lover tells the singer to worship in the bedroom instead of church. When the singer is alone with their lover, that is their only heaven. The singer was born sick but loves it, and commands themselves to be well. The chorus states the singer will worship their lover like a dog at the shrine of lies, and will tell their sins so their lover can sharpen a knife to offer the singer a "deathless death."
