You talk too much, never saying what's on your mind,
It's written on your face, I lead the world you hide behind.
I know what you want, I can see what you're looking for,
I know what you want from me,
An' I'm gonna give you more.

I'm gonna slide it in right to the top,
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in, right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it, in baby.

Sometimes you seem just like a stranger to me,
But, all the games you play make it so easy to see.
You're looking for love, tho' you try to deny,
The things you put me through
Tell me what I've got to do to you.
I'm gonna slide it in, right to the top,
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in, right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in.

You talk too much, always treating me so unkind,
I know what I've got to do, to get me some peace of mind.

I'm gonna slide it in, right to the top,
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in, right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it in, right to the top.
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in, right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it, slide it in, slide it in, right to the top, baby.

    A profound treatise on the inevitable interplay between romance and lust. Philosophical ground is certainly broken here, as the verse brings us to exalted highs, and chorus brings it home with a euphoric resolution.

Ave Grave
Thee More Shallows
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.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
