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.
it was a california august in 82
when my mother gave birth to the spamtec crew
13 years later had me looking at linux
programming made me stronger like popeye to spinach
now - people know that a dg carry weapons
but if that weapon is a NES, you stepping?
we finished contra with only one life
finished metal gear 2 using only a knife
right - people might think that were frontin
then they see all the noobs online that im puntin
my rhymes flow just like my code
even though my source is owned by SCO
what about my endian? i keep it low
see me on gunbound? call me pro
ima certified legend but im still your bro
this is a psa boy the more you know
im a legend everywhere that i go every distro
every craigs list ho pumping they fist yo
cant get enough of ytcrackers jams and they
cant get enough of ytcrackers spam
x2
my hearts wide open goatse
and my windows min(h) like ho chi
im just another nerd but i rap about it
shit talk on the net then i laugh about it
ive been caught slipping like the star wars kid
when im on ebay sniping a bid
catch me on a webcam like numa numa
see me at the club and im rocking puma
another net legend if ya see me yodel
spit a little something thats anecdotal
tell me bout the time that ebaumsworld
stole your chop like i stole your girl
catch me on genmay not something awful
lowtax would ban me rofl rofl
ima certified legend but im still your bro
this is a psa boy the more you know
im a legend everywhere that i go every distro
every craigs list ho pumping they fist yo
cant get enough of ytcrackers jams and they
cant get enough of ytcrackers spam
