Autopsy Song Lyrics
Open wide, look inside [x2]
At my autopsy
I feel like
A woman
I feel like
I care
I feel like
I shouldn't
I feel like a child
Of despair
I feel like
It's over
I feel like it's coming
After me
I feel like
It's closer
I feel like this is all I'll ever be
I feel like
A failure
I feel like a hungry
Parasite
I feel like
A razor
I feel like a prayer
Lost in flight
I feel like
I'm hopeless
I'm afraid I'm a slave, I'm weak and average [x2]
I feel like
A hammer
I feel like
A nail
I feel like
I'm guilty
I feel like the wrist that it impales
I feel like
A butcher
I feel like
I'm being decieved
I feel like a beautiful loser
I feel like all you sheep
Are laughing at me
Open wide, look inside, at my autopsy
My autopsy
I feel like a complete waste of time
I feel I'm
Transparent
I feel like I can't
Escape my mind
At my autopsy
A woman
I feel like
I care
I feel like
I shouldn't
I feel like a child
Of despair
I feel like
It's over
I feel like it's coming
After me
I feel like
It's closer
I feel like this is all I'll ever be
I feel like
A failure
I feel like a hungry
Parasite
I feel like
A razor
I feel like a prayer
Lost in flight
I feel like
I'm hopeless
A hammer
I feel like
A nail
I feel like
I'm guilty
I feel like the wrist that it impales
I feel like
A butcher
I feel like
I'm being decieved
I feel like a beautiful loser
I feel like all you sheep
Are laughing at me
My autopsy
I feel I'm
Transparent
I feel like I can't
Escape my mind

It's a personal look into Otep's feelings fears and emotions. I say its her most personal song every.
I agree with BattleReadyHarlot. This song is about Oteps emotions etc. Its her autopsy song. so open wide and look inside.
i fucking love this song.. holy shit, no other words can explain how i feel about her.... But most of all, i love how she screams the word 'ME' for 13 seconds... i was like: "holy mother fucking shit, she fucking kicks ass!"
She's doing what all brilliant musicians do...she's opening up her heart and emotions and writing/singing/screaming them through her music. Yes, Otep is a goddess.
I feel like this is Otep expressing feelings of betrayal and resentment of the "sheep" that she is forced to be around everyday. The "sheep" mock her simply because she's different. She also has feelings of being persecuted and wanting power. These depressing feelings keep building and building until she starts to lose grip on her sanity. By writing this song she is showing people her "autopsy" or all of her inside emotions that she couldn't express before.
I think this is about those periods of self-doubt, paranoia and insecurity that we all go through at some point.
She's dissecting herself, looking into her deepest feelings about the world around her. It's quiet at first, and eventually the tension builds and explodes. Her inner world an inner spasm of sadness, then anger over everything.
