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.
Last week I flew to san diego to see my antie
On day 1 I met her hot step daughter
She's a cheerleader, she is a virgin and she is really tan
As she stepped out of her massive car
I could only notice she was more than fuckable
I think she was coming back from the game or something
Cause she was holding those silly pompoms
On day 2 I fucked her and it was wild
She is such a slut
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was dirty a dream came true
Just like I like it she's got nice tits
It was perfect a dream came true
Just like a song by blink182
ok listen girls
I met the hottest guy ever
Basically as I was stepping out of my s.u.v.
I came face to face with my step cousin or whatever
Who cares
Anyway he was wearing skinny jeans had funky hair
And the cutest british accent ever
Straight away I could tell he was a rocker
With his sexy attitude and the way he looked at me
Mmm he is totally awesome
Oh my god I think I'm in love
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was dirty a dream came true
Just like I like it she's got nice tits
It was perfect a dream came true
Just like a song by blink182
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was so nice to meet you
Pleasure is mine I do like you
Come to cancun for springbreak

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
i love this song! it's obvious what it's talkin about but yeah..
