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.
Hello and welcome to my room
There's no easy way out
We can sail on the rain on my yellow umbrella
Stay back
And hold your breath away, all the clouds are in bed
We can feed my guitars anytime in the morning
In the morning in the rainbow
Uh
Hello and welcome to my room, there's no easy way out
Would you show me the way into the master antenna?
In the mountains, in the rainbow
You are one of a kind
You are one of a kind
You are the one of mine
The only the one in my life
You are the one of a kind
You are the one of a kind the only one I want
Everyday of my life
Breathe out and take your helmet off
There's no war in my room
We can lay on the grass have a laugh every morning
In the morning, in the rainbow
You are the one of a kind
You are the one of a kind
You are one of mine
The only one in my life
You are the one of a kind
You are the one of a kind
You are the one I want
Everyday of my life
There's no easy way out
We can sail on the rain on my yellow umbrella
Stay back
And hold your breath away, all the clouds are in bed
We can feed my guitars anytime in the morning
In the morning in the rainbow
Uh
Hello and welcome to my room, there's no easy way out
Would you show me the way into the master antenna?
In the mountains, in the rainbow
You are one of a kind
You are one of a kind
You are the one of mine
The only the one in my life
You are the one of a kind
You are the one of a kind the only one I want
Everyday of my life
Breathe out and take your helmet off
There's no war in my room
We can lay on the grass have a laugh every morning
In the morning, in the rainbow
You are the one of a kind
You are the one of a kind
You are one of mine
The only one in my life
You are the one of a kind
You are the one of a kind
You are the one I want
Everyday of my life

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Fortnight

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
