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.
I got the talk when I was younger
And understood as I recall
They hadn't mentioned this at all
My heart was racing like a sprinter
That tripped and fell
In love with a girl just for tonight and that's all
I've got big, big plans
And they've got to mean something more
Than just once
But I just don't know what I want
I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe for just tonight
I got the call when I was older
Yeah and I understood
If it happens then it happens and that's all
My arms the hose and you're the fire
Out of control and I've got put you out
Before there's nothing left at all
I've got big, big plans
And they've got to mean something more than just once
But I just don't know what I want
I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe for just mine
Get your ass up 'cause you're in no hurry
Like I am now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Or maybe for just tonight
And the next part is the hardest
To admit and explain but I've got to get it right
She said, "I'll chew you up and spit you out like all them
I'm gonna put you right back in my mouth
You know that I will always love you"
I tore your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
'Cause tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe its just
You've gotta get your ass up 'cause you're in no hurry
Like I am now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Oh, baby, one more time
I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Or maybe it's just mine
Over tonight
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), ooh, yeah
And understood as I recall
They hadn't mentioned this at all
My heart was racing like a sprinter
That tripped and fell
In love with a girl just for tonight and that's all
I've got big, big plans
And they've got to mean something more
Than just once
But I just don't know what I want
I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe for just tonight
I got the call when I was older
Yeah and I understood
If it happens then it happens and that's all
My arms the hose and you're the fire
Out of control and I've got put you out
Before there's nothing left at all
I've got big, big plans
And they've got to mean something more than just once
But I just don't know what I want
I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe for just mine
Get your ass up 'cause you're in no hurry
Like I am now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Or maybe for just tonight
And the next part is the hardest
To admit and explain but I've got to get it right
She said, "I'll chew you up and spit you out like all them
I'm gonna put you right back in my mouth
You know that I will always love you"
I tore your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
'Cause tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe its just
You've gotta get your ass up 'cause you're in no hurry
Like I am now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Oh, baby, one more time
I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Or maybe it's just mine
Over tonight
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), ooh, yeah
