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.
"At this moment, you should be with us
Feeling like we do
Like you love to
But never will again
I miss you my dear, Ziola
I prepared the room tonight
With Christmas lights
A city of candles
Fresh"
Three days was the morning
My focus three days old
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows
I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
Three ways was the morning
Three lovers, in three ways
We knew when she landed
Three days she'd stay
I am a proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
Shadows of the morning light
Shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
True hunting is over
No herd to follow
Without game, men prey on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow, oh
True leaders gone
Of land and people
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
The family weakens by the length we travel, oj
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
Erotic Jesus lays with his Mary's
Loves his Mary's
Bits of puzzle
Fitting each other
All now with wings
Oh my Mary's
Never wonder
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver
All now with wings
Feeling like we do
Like you love to
But never will again
I miss you my dear, Ziola
I prepared the room tonight
With Christmas lights
A city of candles
Fresh"
Three days was the morning
My focus three days old
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows
I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
Three ways was the morning
Three lovers, in three ways
We knew when she landed
Three days she'd stay
I am a proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
Shadows of the morning light
Shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
True hunting is over
No herd to follow
Without game, men prey on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow, oh
True leaders gone
Of land and people
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
The family weakens by the length we travel, oj
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
Erotic Jesus lays with his Mary's
Loves his Mary's
Bits of puzzle
Fitting each other
All now with wings
Oh my Mary's
Never wonder
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver
All now with wings
