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 met light was shed
Thoughts free flow, you said you've got something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sounds, sway of your hips round rings true
It goes deep inside of you
These secret garden beams
Changed my life so it seems
Fall breeze blows outside, I don't break stride
My thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
Oh, yeah, and I never felt alone
All right, oh, oh, 'til I met you
Friends say I've changed, I don't listen 'cause I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide of her dress, shouts in darkness, I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you
You said, boy make girl feel good
But still, deep inside, still
I've never felt alone
'Til I met you
I'm all right on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't wanna call you
But then I wanna call you 'cause I don't wanna crush you
But I feel like crushing you
And it's true, I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me (And we were broke and didn't know)
And we were broke and didn't know
And we were broke and didn't know
And we were broke and didn't know
Something's gone, you withdraw and I'm not strong like before
I was deep inside of you
I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare at a ghost
Deep inside of you
And some great need in me
Starts to bleed
I've lost myself there's nothing left, it's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
Thoughts free flow, you said you've got something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sounds, sway of your hips round rings true
It goes deep inside of you
These secret garden beams
Changed my life so it seems
Fall breeze blows outside, I don't break stride
My thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
Oh, yeah, and I never felt alone
All right, oh, oh, 'til I met you
Friends say I've changed, I don't listen 'cause I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide of her dress, shouts in darkness, I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you
You said, boy make girl feel good
But still, deep inside, still
I've never felt alone
'Til I met you
I'm all right on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't wanna call you
But then I wanna call you 'cause I don't wanna crush you
But I feel like crushing you
And it's true, I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me (And we were broke and didn't know)
And we were broke and didn't know
And we were broke and didn't know
And we were broke and didn't know
Something's gone, you withdraw and I'm not strong like before
I was deep inside of you
I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare at a ghost
Deep inside of you
And some great need in me
Starts to bleed
I've lost myself there's nothing left, it's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
