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.
Get krunk, get drunk, get fucked up. Throw your hands in the air, that's whats up. Now pass me the forty girl. I need to get drunk before it's over girl! So don't you take this drink from me. I will knock you down on your knees. And make you lick my penis up and down, up and down...

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
When I see that a pack of miscreants has the audacity to create "music" like this, and IT ACTUALLY BECOMES POPULAR, I honestly worry about the generation of kids who listen to it. And I cringe. Not only does this stuff sound absolutely horrible, but these lyrics are so incredibly stupid and mindless, and not only that, but extremely offensive. If these lowlifes actually treated women like this, they should be put in jail. I cannot possibly fathom anyone listening to such garbage. It makes me sad to think that this crap can become popular, when bands who are actually talented, who play their own instruments, and write meaningful lyrics are put on the back burner.
For anyone who listens to this, please think about how you will feel in ten years. Or twenty. Will you even ADMIT that you listened to this or play it for your kids? Or, if you take the advice of the whores that are in this band, you may get knocked up sooner than that, and force your three-year old to listen to this in the car when you go for your driving test. Good lord. It boggles my mind that people listen to this stuff.
PLEASE - can someone explain WHAT exactly it is that is appealing about this band?
Lols jpgretzky15, this band is appealing cause they're fun to listen to and make great music to dance to. Us fans (or maybe it's just me) realize that they aren't "good" lyrics. Do you honestly think this is the ONLY stuff we listen to? I'm sure I can name a few bands and artists that you might consider "good" that I listen to as well. So please, don't waste your time bashing a band and their fans just cause they don't have talented lyrics. Although they're important, some bands aren't there for their lyrics. As for playing their own instruments, they're talented in their screaming/singing/rapping and they do their own mixing, so it might be okay that they don't play instruments.<br /> <br /> Honestly I can say that I probably will play this for my kids sometime in the future too. Maybe it'll be considered a classic oldie or something. ^_^<br /> <br /> So there you go. That's exactly what is appealing about this band and why we listen to them.
I agree with both of you. jpgretzky15, you are right in the sense that lyrics can be bad and stupid, but the guy is drunk and horny. Lots of guys want a BJ. This really isn't treating women that badly..."bitch" can be a term of endearment.<br /> PhunkayWeezall, you are right too. Rap has even worse lyrics and those go platinum almost every time.<br /> Just my two cents.<br /> /Jack
I don't listen to the song and beleive that what they are saying is good. I listen and laugh at how funny it is.<br /> And they are fun to dance aorund to, and sing with. But I don't think anyone puts all their faith into this band, and how 'amazing' they are.<br /> <br /> And I do listen to normal music, and bands that actually make thier own music and lyrics. :]
dude calm the fuck down. do you honestly think that they're serious about this? sure every guy likes to get this is true but all they are doing is playing on the misoginistic stereotype that many rappers have used in their lyrics. it's all jokes. try listening to different songs before you decide to assume that they can't write real lyrics. listen to Dead B4 I Died, Schizo, Taking Lyfe From Me, Broken Mikrofonez, Jealousy, I'm sorry, Lacuna, So Hard 2 Take, Disappearing Hearts, Take Me Away, Drop Dead, Monster Inside Me, I Think I'm Going Insane, Till Death Do Us Part, On My Own, or Alone In The Dark. yeah they're messed up but they still have meaning<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
yea i really like this band cuz i like to listen to them when im in a happy mood. but i doo listen to serious bands like slipknot,alesana, and black veil brides. they are really good bands
Yeah, there's no way this is going to be classic. I give it less than one more year, and this shit music and you people who like it will wind up even more looked down upon than the juggalos.
This is shit.
This is just terrible
Isn't this called 2 Drunk 2 Drive? Not just 2 drunk?
hmmm its about being drunk and getting head?! :O haa
ii looovveeee this song and the band:]] hehe idc what otha ppl say its kick ass:P
this song is about him getting really drunk, then going home with some guys girlfriend and getting a lot of head from her. simple as that (:
pretty top sure this song is called 2 drunk 2 drive but oh well whatever floats your boat..ahh this song is good but still the meanig is the same..he gets drunk then gets some guys girlfriend to take him home and gets laid and head when they wake up in the morn..

yays i love brokencyde there so awesome and i love this song
"Honestly I can say that I probably will play this for my kids sometime in the future too. Maybe it'll be considered a classic oldie or something. ^_^"
Your going to let your kids listen to:
"And make you lick my penis up and down, up and down..."?
If so, you need to be arrested. No one should EVER expose their children to such offensive, sexual lyricism, unless you want to watch your child to suffer losing their virginity and getting pregnant at 12 years old, due to the lyrics inspiration. You, sir or madam, will be commiting a form of child-abuse.
If your going to smudge your ears with this trash, it's away from your children. Heck, your children could become SEX ADDICTS from listening to this.
