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.
Make your way
Down the face
Of everything we know
And go so far
See other places
And other people
I won't know about
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear
It's all my fault again
I know why
No one else knows
Why I am
All alone again
Make it sound so good
That I won't be right
And I walk alone tonight
Outside my house
And outside my mind
No matter what I say,
I'm never right
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear
It's all my fault again
I know why
No one else knows
Why I am
All alone again
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear...
Go, go, go!
(2x)
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear me just go, go, go!
(Breathe in deep,)
(Let it out slow)
(Did you hear...)
(Go, go, go!)
Well I will wait for you for days
Well I will wait for you for days
Well I will wait for you forever
(2x)
Down the face
Of everything we know
And go so far
See other places
And other people
I won't know about
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear
It's all my fault again
I know why
No one else knows
Why I am
All alone again
Make it sound so good
That I won't be right
And I walk alone tonight
Outside my house
And outside my mind
No matter what I say,
I'm never right
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear
It's all my fault again
I know why
No one else knows
Why I am
All alone again
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear...
Go, go, go!
(2x)
Breathe in deep,
Let it out slow
Did you hear me just go, go, go!
(Breathe in deep,)
(Let it out slow)
(Did you hear...)
(Go, go, go!)
Well I will wait for you for days
Well I will wait for you for days
Well I will wait for you forever
(2x)
