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.
Ooooooh
Whooooooa
Hmmmm yeah
Hey
[Verse 1: Lloyd]
Now girl I know you down to ride.
The places we can go to.
An my Cadillac's parked right outside.
You know that its old school.
Sitting low in my 64.
Hit the switch we can cruise babe.
Theres only one thing I want you to know.
And soon, yeah.
[Chorus: Lloyd]
Girl I love your body.
Hop in my big body.
And let me hit you off with some Cadillac love.
I love the way that you move.
Come on baby lets cruise.
Let me hit you off with some Cadillac love.

[Verse 2: T. Walters]
