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.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Strange, how you stopped loving me (loving me)
How you stopped needing me (needing me)
When she came along (oh,oh,oh,oh)
Strange, you changed like night and day (night and day)
Just up and walked away (walked away)
When she came along (oh,oh,oh,oh)
Hey,uh,uh,oh baby baby
I was upset and you know you shady
Blame it on me like I'm fugazy
I put in work and you got lazy
Now you sayin' it's shame on me
You left with a chick with a set of double d's
Why should we separate like Siamese
Didn't anybody tell you sex better in threes
I can be the reason that you both knock kneed
If I tell my homie zulee he wouldn't knock me
Try to tell me lies, but you're so sloppy
When you leave with your friends, they all jock me
I understand if she know how to please you
I understand if she lovin' and tease you
In my right mind I should probably leave you
Why can't all three of us be peoples
Strange, how you stopped loving me (loving me)
How you stopped needing me (needing me)
When she came along (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Strange, you changed like night and day (night and day)
Just up and walked away (walked away)
When she came along (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yo, please listen
Uh, uh, don't dip out baby
I can live life fine with two ladies
Two heads are better than the one god gave me
And I'm messed up, been stressin' lately
Please tell me, know you gotta feel how I feel
Imagine us lounging together and I feel you, while you feel her, and she feel me
Love triangle, love in all angles
If you spend more time, I won't trip or spazz out
'long as when we home we freak out
And let your friends know exactly what we 'bout
More heavy fam, we living our dreams out
Sexy, I know you probably think you can be stress-free
Without K.I.D. but you gon' see if you ever left, never get it better
You'll miss me
Ohh baby, ohh baby, just talk to me, just tell me let's work it out
Hey baby, I need you baby (both of y'all)
Baby, I need you baby (both of y'all)
I need you baby.oh,oh,oh,oh,na na oh,na na oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, na na oh, na na oh, na, oh
Take my hand, baby girl let's roll
I can make you feel okay, just take my hand, both of you
I can make you feel okay, okay
Ohh baby, ohh baby, just talk to me, just tell me let's work it out
Hey baby, I need you baby (both of y'all)

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.

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.
Pretty much what Tastycakes said.. Except from what the chorus says (kinda weird because of the order it happens) that when she agreed to it he ditched her to be with her girlfriend even though he was trying super hard to convince her to the 3 way thing
