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.
One last thing
Before you go, one last kiss of my soul
Would it matter if i held you and told you that it was alright?
One last time..
I wanted to be your first love,
I would have settled for your last romance
But as you walk into his arms
Will we ever have our last dance?
Forever ends within this minute
Why did you choose to end it like this?
When there was so much left to say
We were soft spoken in the hardest way
Endless waiting for those things you could never say
DONT KNOW THIS LINE!.
Forever ends within this minute
I dont want this to end tonight, its not right
Infinatly was written trying not to fold for you
this one last time, before you go him!
WHOEVER SAID TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST IS BETTER THAN NEVER LOVED.....
NEVER FELT LIKE THIS!!
The times of our lives were not spent well and so i pray
Harder than ever, and so i fell harder than ever
And to keep reminding myself
To regret.......
Before you go, one last kiss of my soul
Would it matter if i held you and told you that it was alright?
One last time..
I wanted to be your first love,
I would have settled for your last romance
But as you walk into his arms
Will we ever have our last dance?
Forever ends within this minute
Why did you choose to end it like this?
When there was so much left to say
We were soft spoken in the hardest way
Endless waiting for those things you could never say
DONT KNOW THIS LINE!.
Forever ends within this minute
I dont want this to end tonight, its not right
Infinatly was written trying not to fold for you
this one last time, before you go him!
WHOEVER SAID TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST IS BETTER THAN NEVER LOVED.....
NEVER FELT LIKE THIS!!
The times of our lives were not spent well and so i pray
Harder than ever, and so i fell harder than ever
And to keep reminding myself
To regret.......
