You can't abide my showing fatigue
When you come home just to relay
All the events that made your heart bleed
And the ones that ruined your day

We're not as close
As everybody thinks
In the eye of the storm
We keep each other warm

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

So many issues we should address
'cause our lives just don't correlate
All the emotions that we suppress
Bite our tongues until it's too late

We're not as close
As we always used to be - you and me
In the eye of the storm
We keep each other warm

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

    Wow... I never thought of that way... But I think that, in the verses he says we"Bite our tongues until it's too late" Meaning we ignore the problems that we there and now... look what's happened.. but he basically says that in the song... so... it's not really a scientific find or anything... :\

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.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
