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.
Baby sneeezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in.
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart (broken heart)
Pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host goodbye.
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflae
Scream the lullaby
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
I believe in love, But what else can I do, I'm so in love with you.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again, coming around again, coming around again...
I know nothing stays the same (I believe in love)
But if you're willing to play the game (I believe in love)
It's coming around again
I do believe, and I do believe in love.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
(I believe in love)
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in.
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart (broken heart)
Pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host goodbye.
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflae
Scream the lullaby
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
I believe in love, But what else can I do, I'm so in love with you.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again, coming around again, coming around again...
I know nothing stays the same (I believe in love)
But if you're willing to play the game (I believe in love)
It's coming around again
I do believe, and I do believe in love.
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again.
(I believe in love)
