voor ik vergeet dat hier een kerk heeft gestaan
voor ik vergeet dat ik jarig was
en een tic-tac in mijn neusgat had toen we naar zeeland zijn gegaan
voor ik vergeet koninginnedag
en wie toen mijn vrienden zijn geweest
en ik niets meer weet van straten en examens en vacanties en ruzie
op een feest ergens in de Biltstraat waar ik toch niemand kende
voor ik vergeet en later alles anders heet
voor ik vergeet en ik de feiten en de cijfers en de namen van de schrijvers niet meer weet
de hele dag en alle woorden en elk uur de hele dag
en ook de nacht en de zomers en de handen van mijn vader vergeet ik op den duur
voor ik vergeet vergeten ben van die hersenscan en van die toestand met dat huis
en dat ik zo iemand was die van alles wou
en niets begreep van de film waarin hij speelde
en de lafbek die hij was
ik hou van jou
ik hou zoveel van jou
tot ik vergeet
ik jou vergeet
jou vergeet
en nog alleen maar lijk te dromen

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.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
