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.
Winter garage sale, What did I see?
My dream come true, In front of me
Three dollar special, (three dollar) It's my bike now(it's my bike)And he's my best friend, And I don't know why (don't know why) Don't know why
*CHORUS*
We cut cheese together, We pick up chicks,
Best friends forever, I gotta blow my nose
We had some good times but (good times), I can't remember (can't remember)
Alot of bad times (bad times) like when we squished my dog (squished my dog) I can remember when the seat smelled like a block of cheese (big old block of cheese)
I tried to eat it (oh no) then I threw up in my shoe (then I puked) In my shoe (and then I puked)
We cut cheese together, We pick up chicks, Best friends forever, I gotta blow my nose
Blow my nose, blow my nose, blow my nose, blow my nose,
Blow my nose, Blow my nose
We cut cheese together, We pick up chicks, Best friends forever, I gotta blow my nose
Blow my nose, blow my nose, Unfortunatley I gotta blow my nose
My dream come true, In front of me
Three dollar special, (three dollar) It's my bike now(it's my bike)And he's my best friend, And I don't know why (don't know why) Don't know why
*CHORUS*
We cut cheese together, We pick up chicks,
Best friends forever, I gotta blow my nose
We had some good times but (good times), I can't remember (can't remember)
Alot of bad times (bad times) like when we squished my dog (squished my dog) I can remember when the seat smelled like a block of cheese (big old block of cheese)
I tried to eat it (oh no) then I threw up in my shoe (then I puked) In my shoe (and then I puked)
We cut cheese together, We pick up chicks, Best friends forever, I gotta blow my nose
Blow my nose, blow my nose, blow my nose, blow my nose,
Blow my nose, Blow my nose
We cut cheese together, We pick up chicks, Best friends forever, I gotta blow my nose
Blow my nose, blow my nose, Unfortunatley I gotta blow my nose
