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.
Mother, please forgive me. I just have to get out all my pain and suffering. Now
that I am done, remember I will always love you. . .
I'm your son.
Little child, looking so pretty. Come out and play, I'll be your Daddy. Innocent
child, looking so sweet. Rape your mind, dear god your flesh I reep
You raped. I feel dirty. It hurt. As a child. Tied down. "That's a good boy."
And fuck. Your own child. I scream. No-one hears me. It hurt. I'm not a liar. My
God. Saw you watch. Mommy, why? Your own child.
Little child, looking so pretty. Come out and play, I'll be your Daddy
You raped. I feel dirty. It hurt. As a child. Tied down. "That's a good boy."
And fuck. Your own child. I scream. No-one hears me. It hurt. Not a lot. My
God. Saw you watch.
Mommy, why?
It's alright
"I didn't touch you there." Mommy said she didn't care.
"I didn't touch you there." That's why Momma stopped and stared.
Innocent child, looking so sweet. Rape your mind, and now your flesh I reap.
