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 are more beautiful
Then anyone ever
Everyday you are the same
You never change no never
You are more beautiful
Then anyone ever
Everyday you are the same
You never change no never
And how can I ever deny
The love of my savior
You are to me everything
All I need forever
How could you be so good?
There is no on like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
Everywhere you were there
Earth or air surrounding
Im not alone the heavens sing along
My god youre so astounding
How could you be so good to me
Eternally I believe that
There is no on like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
How could you be so good to me
Were not alone so sing along
Sing along. Sing along
Then anyone ever
Everyday you are the same
You never change no never
You are more beautiful
Then anyone ever
Everyday you are the same
You never change no never
And how can I ever deny
The love of my savior
You are to me everything
All I need forever
How could you be so good?
There is no on like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
Everywhere you were there
Earth or air surrounding
Im not alone the heavens sing along
My god youre so astounding
How could you be so good to me
Eternally I believe that
There is no on like you
There has never ever been anyone like you
How could you be so good to me
Were not alone so sing along
Sing along. Sing along
