Give me five minutes I’m out of my head
Gotta get out of bed
Trying to pull it together
Smelly old perfume
It brings back the time
Yeah it plays with my mind
And I’m trying to get over..
All this yearning
Now concerning
Yeah my whole word just keeps turning
Cause I get so wrapped up in it
And I know that I can’t quit it
Girl it’s twisted how you bleed me
Cause I know that you don’t need me
But I find myself just saying your name
This is the way
That I feel
Now that you’re here
I start to remember
That I want you again
Yeah your under my skin
You’re digging in like a beautiful splinter
Trying to act normal
Like nothing is wrong
Like I’m trying to move on
But I know you know better
Losin’ my cool when I see you around
Yeah it’s tearing me down
But to you it’s whatever
All this yearning
And concerning
Yeah my whole word just keeps turning
Cause I get so wrapped up in it
And I know that I can’t quit it
Girl it’s twisted how you bleed me
Cause I know that you don’t need me
But I find myself just saying your name
This is the way
That I feel
Now that you’re here
I start to remember
That I want you again
Yeah your under my skin
You’re digging in like a beautiful splinter
This is the way
That I feel
Now that you’re here
I start to remember that I want you again
Yeah your under my skin
You’re digging in
Like a beautiful splinter
Woah, woah, woah, woah..
This is the way
That I feel
Now that you’re here
I start to remember that I want you again
Yeah your under my skin
You’re digging in
Like a beautiful splinter
Gotta get out of bed

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new.
This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus.
Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness".
The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1.
All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy.
And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns)
There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
