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.
A constant red on for days and days
I see those lights reflected on your face
Everything can change the the moment that you blink,
But I don't mind
So if you wanna come in then come in
Disintegrate into me tonight
And if you wanna give in then give in
Anything that you feel is right
Even if this chemistry's catastrophe
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna taste then take a bite right out of me
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
Freezing time like a strobe on you
Breathing in electronic fumes
We've made our minds and we've made our bed,
So lets sink in
So if you wanna come in then come in
Disappear into me tonight
And if you wanna give in then give in
Anything that you feel is right
Even if this chemistry's catastrophe
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna taste then take a bite right out of me
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna come in, then come in
Disappear into me tonight
If you wanna give in, then give in
Even if this chemistry's a catastrophe
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna taste then take a bite right out of me
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
We're not built to last, shatter like glass,
so come on, come on
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
I can't remember anything, like what's your name?
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
I see those lights reflected on your face
Everything can change the the moment that you blink,
But I don't mind
So if you wanna come in then come in
Disintegrate into me tonight
And if you wanna give in then give in
Anything that you feel is right
Even if this chemistry's catastrophe
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna taste then take a bite right out of me
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
Freezing time like a strobe on you
Breathing in electronic fumes
We've made our minds and we've made our bed,
So lets sink in
So if you wanna come in then come in
Disappear into me tonight
And if you wanna give in then give in
Anything that you feel is right
Even if this chemistry's catastrophe
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna taste then take a bite right out of me
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna come in, then come in
Disappear into me tonight
If you wanna give in, then give in
Even if this chemistry's a catastrophe
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
If you wanna taste then take a bite right out of me
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
We're not built to last, shatter like glass,
so come on, come on
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
I can't remember anything, like what's your name?
I don't give a fuck (I.D.G.A.F.)
