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.
Boy walk in the spot, he so fresh n', uh, huh
He got what he needs, impressin'
Just look at the way that he dressin'
Ain't no question, chicks like, 'oh'
Girl walk in the spot, she stops traffic
She's got everything, like her asset
So Jessica Alba fantastic
Instant classic, boys like, 'whoa'
Baby, I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more than he said, she said
Baby, I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more than he said, she said
He said, "Girl, you winnin'"
She said, "Boy, where you been?"
Stop talkin', let's get with it
Just like that they
He said, "Girl, you're amazing"
She said, "Then why you waitin'?"
No more deliberatin'
Watcha doin'? Let's get to it
Boy, actin' as if there's no pressure
He'd do anything to get with her
He'd say anything to convince her
Money spent, two diamond spent her
Girl, playin' it cool, but she's with it
She's lovin' the fact that she's gifted
Everything that he do, she gets lifted
Feels so wicked, lovin' like, 'whoa'
Baby, I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more than he said, she said
Baby, I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more than he said, she said
He said, "Girl, you winnin'"
She said "Boy, where you been?"
Stop talkin', let's get with it
Just like that they
He said, "Girl, you're amazing"
She said, "Then why you waitin'?"
No more deliberatin'
Watcha doin'? Let's get to it
One day with you, boy, just one day with you
Everything's so brand new
Every day I think of being with you
No one else but us two
All our dreams would come true
If we just got together
Baby, I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us kissin' like that (like that)
We don't need no more than he said, she said
Baby, I can see us movin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us touchin' like that (like that)
Baby, I can see us kissin' like that (like that)

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
For those that are confused about the chorus. They had to make a nice and naughty version. Cause this song is played on radio disney. They couldn't make it too sexy for the little 7 year olds listening. That's why there was 2 versions I guess.
