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.
You're always saying, it's so easy.
Any man I want I'll take him
Make him mine mine mine(repeat)
Less talking, let's see action
There's no time to waste it's time to make me your man
(repeat)
Do do do doo it's so easy
I hear you praying, it's not easy
You're the man I want but I can't make you mine mine mine
(repeat)
Less talking let's see action there's no time to waste
It's time to make you understand
Less talking let's see action there's no time to waste
It's all according to the plan...
Do do do doo dee dee, it's so easy...
Any man I want I'll take him
Make him mine mine mine(repeat)
Less talking, let's see action
There's no time to waste it's time to make me your man
(repeat)
Do do do doo it's so easy
I hear you praying, it's not easy
You're the man I want but I can't make you mine mine mine
(repeat)
Less talking let's see action there's no time to waste
It's time to make you understand
Less talking let's see action there's no time to waste
It's all according to the plan...
Do do do doo dee dee, it's so easy...

I hated this song at first, i thought it was boring... NOW I LOVE IT! it took a while to catch on, but the verse is great and the solos are fantastic.
