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 see right through to you
See right through to you
See right through to you
I see right through to you
It's not like I don't feel your mood
What you have for me is different
Then the rest that moves
I'll be positive I know that I could be there to
'Cause you have it all, have it all
I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move
I know you now
I reach your mind
You've shown some how
What I could find
On the inside
There you will see
We're all alike you and me
I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See right through to you
I see right through to you
It's not like I don't feel your mood
What you have for me is different
Then the rest that moves
I'll be positive I know that I could be there to
'Cause you have it all, have it all
I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move
I know you now
I reach your mind
You've shown some how
What I could find
On the inside
There you will see
We're all alike you and me
I see right through to you
See your every move
See right through to you
See your every move

OK, she knows that he's in love with her even though she won't admit it. Loved this song when it came out. It described the situation with me and my then-boyfriend right before we started dating. I could sense his interest in me, like an aura. We're no longer together, but that excitement, the uncertainty of knowing, never really went away.
