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.
Relaxed and stand in the Warmth of the Sand
The day is long and here for us to take for granted
We find ourselves to our knees the water clear the tender breeze upon our faces as we bask in our good graces
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The sun is the set and the moon is high the night is long and here for you and I to capture
We Float ourselves to the coast with icy drinks that boast our wills
And we are braver for the moment
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The courtyard wear the garden stands beyond the beach the crystal sands
We shed our clothes and felt romantic
Tempted by the moon fantastic
Bright and Warm and ours alone
Absolve of us the sins we own
And from one year to another
I think of you when I feel summer
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
When all you hope for is another
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The day is long and here for us to take for granted
We find ourselves to our knees the water clear the tender breeze upon our faces as we bask in our good graces
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The sun is the set and the moon is high the night is long and here for you and I to capture
We Float ourselves to the coast with icy drinks that boast our wills
And we are braver for the moment
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The courtyard wear the garden stands beyond the beach the crystal sands
We shed our clothes and felt romantic
Tempted by the moon fantastic
Bright and Warm and ours alone
Absolve of us the sins we own
And from one year to another
I think of you when I feel summer
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
When all you hope for is another
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year

I hate how DC is popular now! It sucks becuase now all the girls who wear heels to school and guys who work at abercrombie think they are doing something innovative by listening to them, when DC has been happening and hanging for a while. But I do adore this song! And at the end in the background a female whispers what sounds like "Alicia" which is my name. Listen to it.
