Take this bad attention
Eliminate, broken thoughts and crossed
intentions
Eliminate negativity.
This audition,
Will sever the ties between the strong and the weak.
Make the right choice and your failures oblique.
Loss-less, faultless,
Perfection is what, we'll achieve
Its not too late to find safety,
All we gotta do is focus on our dreams.
Run from your last, broken shield,
Seize this chance, for rapture.
Taste your breath, smoke filled lungs
Burning rooms with your body.
These roads will last a lifetime,
With your hopes in ruins,
Its not too late to find yourself,
New life intention.
The pulse of life is fading,
Smoke filled and hazy,
We will strive on,
Forwards in motion.
We wont die,
Without fighting for life,
Lost life, found fear,
Your intentions will surface and ruin.
Prepare yourself, next step…
You've outdone yourself again,
Disolusion grows bigger with every step,
Understand that the path-is-yours,
Don't accept this if the flaws are your-own-mistakes
Take it back all again its not the way we want to be,
Its about making the most of what we have
Its not the way we like to do things here,
Taking back what we said in the past is part of life,
Its about finding fault in ourselves, and fixing them.
Because these are our problems,
Over and over and over and over and over,
Standards drop while, your plans fail,
We're goin down, theres no hope, For us now so,
SAVE US.
With the hands of god wrapped round your neck,
You will drop down to your knees,
Just because,
I've become the sun,
Blinded by my light
Now I'm fucking sick
Cast it away then invite your final pawns of
revolt
Open lies that erupt fake smiles
You're blinded by my light
These roads will last a lifetime,
With your hopes in ruins,
Its not too late to find yourself,
New life intention.
The pulse of life is fading,
Smoke filled and hazy,
We will strive on,
Forwards in motion.
Take this bad attention
Eliminate, broken thoughts and crossed intentions
Eliminate negativity.
This audition,
Will sever the ties between the strong and the weak.
Make the right choice and your failures oblique.
As I fall into the centre,
Dodging crossfire, I remember why I'm here
visions vague and faded,
Fallen host to us, the simple minded.
Weaken your hold, Disguard your soul! Take heed, control.
Fear nothing but your hatred,
Cast it all away. Left open minded,
Weaken your hold, Disguard your soul! Take heed, control

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
