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.
Hey girl
I'm sad, I heard that you were leavin'
You can't go
You're my best friend
I'm sure gonna miss you
I always think about you
All the time you're on my mind
We play together you and I
I can't believe that it's true
Now I have to see you leave
You're the only one for me
My girlfriend, my best friend
I don't wanna see you go
I just wanna let you know
That I have a crush on you
I can wait no longer, girl
To say what I feel
I'm gonna miss you forever

The first time that I saw you
I knew it from the very start
You had a place deep in my heart

I don't really like Aaron Carter all too much, but I love this song! If Aaron would have a little more mature voice I'm sure this would be one of my favourite love songs..
