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.
Can you tell me what you're thinking?
I just melt inside your eyes
Kiss me like they do in movies
Modern child of the night
I was watching you for hours
Standing there beside the pool
When you wear those pretty dresses
I forget the girl in you
Run away
Run away
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Am I wrong for loving Lola?
Am I wrong for what I think?
She is such a wicked child
Painted lips
Dirty knees
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
I hear the devil calling
He's waiting for my move
I shall allow the beater
You are my heart and soul
My Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
My Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
My Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
I just melt inside your eyes
Kiss me like they do in movies
Modern child of the night
I was watching you for hours
Standing there beside the pool
When you wear those pretty dresses
I forget the girl in you
Run away
Run away
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Am I wrong for loving Lola?
Am I wrong for what I think?
She is such a wicked child
Painted lips
Dirty knees
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
I hear the devil calling
He's waiting for my move
I shall allow the beater
You are my heart and soul
My Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
My Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
My Lola is on the floor
She's wanting more, she's wanting more
