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.
Oh shit!
I walk around town with my fanny pack (cool),
You know I've got it on, when you hear the snap of the buckle,
Around my waist (click),
And now my fanny pack is in your face!
And it's stretchy (ooh!)
It's made of elastic,
My fanny pack, is fanny pack-tastic!
My fanny pack is cool (cool),
Everybody tells me that my fanny pack rules!
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack is cool)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack rules!)
My fanny pack is on, my pants are saggin',
Let's hop on the fanny pack bandwagon (ooh).
That's what all the good rappers do,
I wear my fanny pack to the side, 'cuz it's cool.
And I get a lot of girls with my fanny pack on.
(Let's have sex, all day long)
Okay, if you insist.
My fanny pack is priceless.
(Hump me in the butthole, all day long.)
(Take your pants off, and leave your fanny pack on.)
And this happens every day,
Oh magic fanny pack! Show me the way!
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack rules!)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack is cool!)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack is cool!)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack rules!)
Some not cool people hate my fanny pack (yeah, tell me man),
And they need to relax!
What's this? (What's this?)
You want to get in a duel?
Because my fanny pack rules the school?
Because my fanny pack is really cool?
Or just because, you're a fanny pack fool?
(Time for a fanny pack inspection)
Don't mess around with my stamp collection!
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack is cool!)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack rules!)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack is cool!)
My fanny pack,
My fanny pack!
(My fanny pack rules!)
(My fanny pack rules!)
I walk around town with my fanny pack (cool),
You know I've got it on, when you hear the snap of the buckle,

These are the correct lyrics, and Josh Katz AKA Rappy McRapperson personally thanked me for typing them. He even called me "Dan the Man."
Enjoy.
