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.
My state of mind
Has kind of got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'm trying to find
A way that I could get to you
I just wanna get to you
The world I see is perfect now
You're all around
With you I can breath
[Chorus]
Until you're mine
I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
Without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine
All lonely inside
I can only hear your voice
Ringing threw the noise
I can find my mind
Keeps on coming back to you
Yeah always back to you
Wanting something out of reach
It's killing me
And you're all I see yeah
[Chorus]
Yes I'm wondering
If we were meant to be
Forget about wanting to soar
I'm ready to begin
Our waiting has to end
Right now
Too late
I've got to find a way yeah yeah
Mine
Until you're mine
Until you're mine
Without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I wont rest until you're mine
My state of mind
Is finding all the best from me
I need you next to me
Has kind of got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'm trying to find
A way that I could get to you
I just wanna get to you
The world I see is perfect now
You're all around
With you I can breath
[Chorus]
Until you're mine
I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
Without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine
All lonely inside
I can only hear your voice
Ringing threw the noise
I can find my mind
Keeps on coming back to you
Yeah always back to you
Wanting something out of reach
It's killing me
And you're all I see yeah
[Chorus]
Yes I'm wondering
If we were meant to be
Forget about wanting to soar
I'm ready to begin
Our waiting has to end
Right now
Too late
I've got to find a way yeah yeah
Mine
Until you're mine
Until you're mine
Without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I wont rest until you're mine
My state of mind
Is finding all the best from me
I need you next to me

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
it's basicly saying that she's in love with a guy & he can't see it but she loves him anyway. She's hurting inside and just lkoke it says "I won't rest until you're mine"
