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.
One look and I'm done
One glance from your eyes and I'm captivated
The taste of your skin
The warmth of your hungry lips
Has me so taken and I
Love the way you can make me dance
From miles away
When I'm with you
I'm so
sedated
I'm captivated by you
You're just like the wind 'cause
Everything moves when you're around it
The sun is just like the sound of
Your voice in the morning when you
Light my world up
And I
Love the way you can make me dance
From miles away
When I'm with you I'm never jaded
I'm captivated
Oh
Start believin' in this crazy love we're leadin'
Oh
Sugar
Hold me closely
Make me sweeter
I need ya
I love you
So please
Show me that smile
Make me laugh for just a little while
And breathe in your one breath I
Only need one to fill
The emptiness
And I
love the way you can make me dance
from miles away
It's been so long but now
I've waited and I'm captivated
One glance from your eyes and I'm captivated
The taste of your skin
The warmth of your hungry lips
Has me so taken and I
Love the way you can make me dance
From miles away
When I'm with you
I'm so
sedated
I'm captivated by you
You're just like the wind 'cause
Everything moves when you're around it
The sun is just like the sound of
Your voice in the morning when you
Light my world up
And I
Love the way you can make me dance
From miles away
When I'm with you I'm never jaded
I'm captivated
Oh
Start believin' in this crazy love we're leadin'
Oh
Sugar
Hold me closely
Make me sweeter
I need ya
I love you
So please
Show me that smile
Make me laugh for just a little while
And breathe in your one breath I
Only need one to fill
The emptiness
And I
love the way you can make me dance
from miles away
It's been so long but now
I've waited and I'm captivated
