Noose and Nail Lyrics
Your God is a fossil
abandoned aposotles
stand and join hands to behold
your godless disciples
abandon your idols
stand and join hands to behold
Champagne
Cocaine
vicoten
adderol
nicotine
caffine
percosets
tyladol
Jesus needs his prescriptions filled
buddahs usin'
too many pills
allah promises endless thrills
in volatile bottles marked
RELIGION KILLS!!!!
this is the ache
we can't escape.
betrayed!
one day this could be you
were just another
nail in the coffin
another
knot in the noose
it's just another squeeze of the trigger
one more hue
in the bruise
champagne
cocaine
vicoden
adderol
nicotine
caffiene
percosets
tyladol
christians rollin' on ecstasy
jehovas smokin' too much PCP
mother mary carries a junkie messiah
shooting smack & smokin' crack with the King of Liars!
this is the ache
we can't escape.
betrayed!
one day this could be you
were just another
nail in the coffin
another
knot in the noose
it's just another squeeze of the trigger
one more hue
in the bruise
this is for a lifetime.. OF SHIT!
Get down and crawl,crawl
you fucking insect
Get down and crawl,crawl
you fucking insect
Get down and crawl
Get down and crawl
Get down and crawl
The remedy is worse than the disease
The remedy is worse than the disease!!
My life spills out just like dead flies
Your god is a fossil abandon the appsosals get down and join hands to explode
your godless desciples abandon the rifles get down and join hands to explode to explode to explode to explode
My life spills out just like dead flies
abandoned aposotles
stand and join hands to behold
abandon your idols
stand and join hands to behold

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this song is awesome. its comparing drug insanity with religion. people like religion because it tells people what to do, and how to do it, so they don't have to think or feel. different name, same effects - numbness mindlessness and insanity. i think its against organized religion. the last verse or so, "join hands to explode" is like "dying for god" really, there are a lot of interpretations.
another part of this song that can be interperated is abandon your rifles, this can be saying that in society today religions are starting to provoke less violence despite their violent past(puritans at the salem witch trials, cathlics with the holocaust, etc) and that many religious lobbiest and religious politicians are pushing for anti-gun laws despite the constitution. but as living shadow said this can be viewed in many diffrent ways so all dependxs on your mind set or how otep wanted to write it.
BAD ASS SONG!!!!
Buddha's*
Champagne cocaine vicodin atarol nicotine caffeine percosets halodol

Just stuff I noticed. Anyway...I pretty much agree with the first two interpretations. But beside the point, my favorite song by Otep is this one. I love it.
otep 4life!!!!!1
i find otep's way of expressing her protest against the religious society totally fine. I am a catholic and many Jesus freaks tell me that this music is corrupting our lives....ha. The words of otep have taught me a lot about the freedom of expression and the women's ideals based on beauty and thought.

This song itself talks about how religion consumes your life like a drug. you will do anything for it and it becomes your whole life.

Im saying that there is a way to balance religion and personal life. Dont let it consume you because all voices in different religions have an opinion. We all sin and are not perfect beings! Yes i believe in GOD and pray every night, but im not preaching to the world what is right and wrong!
I feel like in this song she is proclaiming her atheism, and she is putting down religions. She is also claiming that religious nuts also act as if they were on drugs.
