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.
When we make love
It's hard to tell
If your dreamin' of me
Or someone else
That drunken kiss
Seems like a lie
Don't say it's forever
And then say goodbye
Glitter
Don't ya leave me
Please believe me
I only want your love
Glitter you're my lover
I'll have no other girl
I only need your love
When mornin' comes and the
Sun shines bright
You gonna need someone
Someone to treat ya right
So don't walk out
When you wake up
Let's give it a chance girl
Let's give it a shot
Give it a shot now
Glitter, don't deceive me
Gotta believe me
Only need your love
Glitter, there's no other
You're beautiful
I only want you
This is fine for now, but
Maybe, let's make a baby
Inside of you
It's just the time,
We gotta find,
I want your name
On my tattoo
You blow my mind,
So tell me,
I want to know
Glitter shines forever
Forever an' ever,
I only need your love
Glitter, lay your head down here
I'll always be so near
I only want your love
Here comes the
Here it comes
There goes the
There it goes
Here comes our love again
Through the window out
I only want your love
There goes the
There it goes
Here comes the
Here it comes
There goes our love again
Out the window
It's hard to tell
If your dreamin' of me
Or someone else
That drunken kiss
Seems like a lie
Don't say it's forever
And then say goodbye
Glitter
Don't ya leave me
Please believe me
I only want your love
Glitter you're my lover
I'll have no other girl
I only need your love

Glitter, don't deceive me
Gotta believe me
Only need your love

You're beautiful
I only want you
This is fine for now, but
Maybe, let's make a baby
Inside of you
It's just the time,
We gotta find,

On my tattoo
You blow my mind,
So tell me,

Out the window

this song is about the relationship between nikki and donna. when he first slept with her she has left the morning after cause she didnt know if the have fucked or not, just because their first night together she was too drunk to remember a thing. than he says that he consider himself like a monster that wine made look attractive for one night. that's why he says "if you're dremin or me or someone else" and talks about "drunken kiss"... amazing.
@KIM69 This song has nothing to do with Nikki, Donna, or Skylar. \r\nThis song was written by Bryan Adams (yes that Bryan), Scott Humphrey(producer) and Nikki Sixx. Bryan and Nikki wrote the lyrics. It was written when Crab was still with the band. Nikki hadn’t even met Donna yet. \r\n\r\nUnderstand that not all songs are about the writer. Just like all books aren’t about the author. Some are just created out of thin air. In Nikki’s case he writes about a lot of things including book titles, characters that he created out of nothing, other people, politics, etc. He has a very unique writing style when he is creating. That includes lots of emails he sends himself to remember something that came to him in a moment. A stack or circle of random books and magazines. Diaries, journals, etc. He can even pull unused lyrics written decades ago to possibly fit into something he’s working on in present time. \r\n\r\nI hope this helps people understand that just because something seems likely it probably isn’t or couldn’t be.\r\n\r\n
