They released two albums: an EP (titled 5ep) in 2000, and a full-length release, Throwing Myself on March 13, 2001. After the release of Throwing Myself, the band changed their name to Norma Jean to avoid confusion with rapper Ludacris.
Their original vocalist, Josh Scogin, left the band right after the release of Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child and went on to start The Chariot. He was temporarily replaced by Brad Norris, who was then replaced by Cory Brandan, formerly of Eso-Charis, Living Sacrifice, Uses Fire, and The Handshake Murders.

Amnesty Please
Norma Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A string of events and I tied the first knot
You're an anchor and I won't be drug down
Because no matter what
Burn this to ashes
Ashes and framework
And there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist
Burn this to ashes
Ashes and framework
You are forgiven
But this just does not mean that what was done is okay
Trust is destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right
The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever
You can be free to turn your back
I'm not holding a gun
Trust has been destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right
The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever
Burn this to ashes
Ashes and framework
Trust has been destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right
The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever
And I've been so bitter towards you
And I've been so bitter
I've been so bitter towards you
The lyrics of Norma Jean's song "Amnesty Please" depict a relationship that has been damaged beyond repair due to past actions. The singer acknowledges that something was done wrong and forgiveness has been extended, but this doesn't mean what was done is okay. Trust has been destroyed and things can never go back to the way they once were. The title "Amnesty Please" can be interpreted as a plea for forgiveness, but the lyrics suggests that even forgiveness cannot erase the damage caused.
The use of imagery such as "burn this to ashes" and "ashes and framework" emphasizes the finality of the situation; something has been completely destroyed and cannot be revived. The singer also acknowledges their own bitterness towards the other person, suggesting that healing and moving on may be difficult. The repetition of "the sun has gone dry, so we can sleep forever" could suggest that the relationship has died and there is a sense of finality or closure.
Overall, the lyrics of "Amnesty Please" explore themes of forgiveness, trust, and the damaging effects of past actions in a relationship. The use of vivid imagery adds to the melancholic and haunting tone of the song.

Astounding! Let us consider our current state

Ashes and framework
Everything that once held this situation together must go.
A dying man just needs to die, as a tired man just needs to sleep
Sometimes things just need to end, whether we like it or not.

If we fight against something that needs to end, it will just prolong the pain and suffering.

Just because I forgive you doesn't mean what you did was right.

We can never fully trust each other again after what's happened.
What's done is done and this will never be right
