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.
This happiness surpasses me.
Just running up and down my spine
Whenever I'm around you
My smile beings to shine.
The love I feel for you
is quite hard for anyone to find.
You're the one that I want to
wake up next to,
and just give us
Your beautiful blue eyes.
Please never, ever leave me.
Just stay right here,
Always by my side.
Your beauty radiates
just like the sun.
When I'm around you,
I tend to lose my breath.
There's no doubt
that you're the one.
Your great smile makes me feel alive.
Your flawless personality,
combined with your godly looks,
makes you more than perfect.
Please never, ever leave me.
Just stay right here,
Always by my side.
Please never, ever leave me.
Just stay right here,
Always by my side.
Just running up and down my spine
Whenever I'm around you
My smile beings to shine.
The love I feel for you
is quite hard for anyone to find.
You're the one that I want to
wake up next to,
and just give us
Your beautiful blue eyes.
Please never, ever leave me.
Just stay right here,
Always by my side.
Your beauty radiates
just like the sun.
When I'm around you,
I tend to lose my breath.
There's no doubt
that you're the one.
Your great smile makes me feel alive.
Your flawless personality,
combined with your godly looks,
makes you more than perfect.
Please never, ever leave me.
Just stay right here,
Always by my side.
Please never, ever leave me.
Just stay right here,
Always by my side.

Well, it lays it's self out as a love song.
That's exactly what it is. He's so in love with this girl that he never wants it to end.
Sadly, I do't think craig owens is fit to sing this. His voice is too high for it, beautful lyrics though.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwh loveee

Actually, you should care about the title of the song. If you downloaded it, then it could be...well, wrong. And google can be wrong as well.
The title of a song is almost as important as the song itself.
Just sayin' haha
