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.
I know you're rich in
Good clothes and little things
Your mind is fancy
(And your car is [Incomprehensible])
Is she weird?
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
And her head has no room
Your heart is rip-shit
Your mouth is everywhere
I'm lyin' in it
Is she weird, is she over me?
Like the stars and the sun
Like the stars and the sun
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
And her head has no room
No more of this, girl, cryin'
I'm here, your big man
You're mine
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Head has no room
Good clothes and little things
Your mind is fancy
(And your car is [Incomprehensible])
Is she weird?
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
And her head has no room
Your heart is rip-shit
Your mouth is everywhere
I'm lyin' in it
Is she weird, is she over me?
Like the stars and the sun
Like the stars and the sun
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
And her head has no room
No more of this, girl, cryin'
I'm here, your big man
You're mine
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Is she weird, is she white?
Is she promised to the night?
And her head has no room
Head has no room

This song is obviously about the Bride of Frankenstein.. Google for her picture..
She is weird, she is white, she is promised to the night.
She has a huge head of hair = "And her head has no room"
"I'm here, your big man" = Frankenstein's monster
