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.
There's something about you
Tears me inside and out whenever you're around
There's something about you
Speeding through my veins until we hit the ground
And there's something about the rush
Take it away
It made me feel so good
I get a feeling you get a feeling we got a feeling
Like we could die
And guess what mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up
There's something about you
Tears me inside and out whenever you're around
And there's something about you
That makes me fly
You're a heart attack just the kind I like
And there's something about your kiss
Haunting and strange
That makes me feel so good
I get a feeling you get a feeling we got a feeling
Like we're alive
And mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up
This world may not have too much time
But baby I'm fine because maybe you're mine
We just can't get enough
You better give up
Come on and give up
Better get ready to give up your life
Give up your life
It's you for me and me for you
You make my dreams come true
Off the wall coming from me
But I wanna see this through, my baby
You're on my mind all the time
I found a billion dime
You rolled the dice, and lost them all
And baby I just don't mind
And accidentally mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
We just gotta get it up
This world may not have too much time
But baby I'm fine because maybe you're mine
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
And I don't want none
If I can't have you
A world of illusion
But baby you're true
I know I deceived you
I once told you lies
If you don't believe me
Just look in my eyes

Tears me inside and out whenever you're around

Speeding through my veins until we hit the ground
And there's something about the rush
Take it away
It made me feel so good

Like we could die
And guess what mother
We just can't get enough
We just can't get enough
Lover
We just gotta get it up
