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.
Sometimes
Something beautiful happens
In this world
Oh
Akon
And Lonely Island
You don't know how to express yourself so
You just gotta sing
I just had sex
And it felt so good (felt so good)
A woman let me put my penis inside her (her)
I just had sex (Hey!)
And I'll never go back (never go back)
To the not having sex
Ways of the past
Have you ever had sex?
I have, it felt great
It felt so good when I did it with my penis
A girl let me do it
It literally just happened
Having sex could make a nice man out' the meanest
You'll never guess where I just came from
I had sex
If I had to describe the feeling it was the best
When I had the sex
Man my penis felt great
And I called my parents right after I was done
Oh hey, didn't see you there
Guess what I just did
Had sex, undressed, saw her boobies and the rest
Well sure
Nice of her to let you do that thing
Nice of any girl ever
Now sing
I just had sex
And it felt so good (felt so good)
A woman let me put my penis inside her (her)
I Wanna tell the world
To be honest
I'm surprised she even wanted me to do it
Doesn't really make sense
But man, screw it
I ain't one to argue with a good thing
She could be my wife
That good?
The best 30 seconds of my life
My life!
I'm so humbled by a girls ability to let me do her
'Cause honestly I'd have sex with a pile of manure
With that in mind the soft, nice smellin' girl's better
She let me wear my chain and my turtle neck sweater
So this one's dedicated to them girls
That let us flop around on top of them
If you're near or far, whether short or tall
We wanna thank you all for lettin' us fuck you
She kept looking at her watch
Doesn't matter, had sex
But I cried the whole time
Doesn't matter, had sex
I think she might have been a racist
Doesn't matter, had sex
She put a bag on my head
Still counts
I just had sex
And my dreams came true (dreams came true)
So if you had sex in the last 30 minutes
Then you're qualified to sing with me
I just had sex (everybody sing!)
And it felt so good (we all had sex!)
A woman let me put my penis inside her
(I wanna tell the whole world!)
I just had sex (I just had sex!)
And I'll never go back (no, no, no!)
To the not having sex
Ways of the past
(And it felt so great)

Clearly, this song is an expression of the phenomenon of intellectual enlightenment, by way of metaphorical comparison to the well-known experience of sexual intercourse. The song portrays enlightenment as overwhelmingly positive, with an almost childish underlying simplicity to it.
One should make note of several subtle tendencies that are alluded to in the song. For example, the fact that enlightened thought is facilitated by objectivity, and thus the bias in intellectual circles towards objective expression, is shown through the very particular ("It felt so good when I did it with my penis"). The notion that institutional reception credits pure understanding over flair and subjective profoundness is expressed through the section that reviews the circumstances of the sexual accomplishment ("doesn't matter, had sex... still counts"). The song refers to the phenomenon of emergence from ignorance and the simultaneously trivial and profound preference for enlightened existence ("and I'll never go back"). The female body as a facilitating entity is also used to extend the point about the almost paradoxical dichotomy of understanding as both extremely simple yet profound ("I'm so humbled by a girls ability to let me do her"). The song also suggests by example the importance of verification and information sharing towards advancing thought ("I called my parents right after I was done").
The video shows the process of transcendence from skepticism to popular acceptance, as the singers first are greeted by the disgust of their partners and the bewildered shock of onlookers, before graduating to an extatic chorus of acceptence by the end of the clip. The firework homage to Katy Perry demonstrates the process of generalization of understanding and applying it in ways that are personally meaningful. The choice of characters in the film, both the world-wise master rapper and the pair of eager novices, show that through the eyes of wisdom, all people have equal standing.
@vlaeriya Brilliant analysis! Cracking up here...
@vlaeriya What the fuck
Having trouble figuring out what this on was about.
Somebody just had sex :D
She kept lookin' at her watch<br />
yeah... and it wasn't you zydrate :)
yeah or you flapperjacks....what a dumb screen name right?
Flapjack dont be hatin on my screenname and life just because you cant get none.. gosh, kids these days... crazy right?
Actually sooooo funny!
saw the video last christmas eve and i laughed my ass off! very funny and very entertaining, plus blake lively is hoooooottttt in the music video!
Hmm i think they just had sex, but i could be wrong. X) i might have to double check
ah. so thats why a guy asked me if he could wear chain a turtle neck sweater before. that makes LOTS of sense.
I think its about ponies :)
Very small ponies ;)
someone I know convinced his girlfriend to watch this right after they had sex
Ok, gotta admit those who listen to this song repeatedly probably have larger egos than they do wee-wees. He sounds as though he's 12 and having sex for the first time. And he's not going back to going without sex. I'm thinking this song was written for a young boy (ie. immature man). Wonder if the sequel will be about unprotected sex; unwanted pregnancy; and STD's. I just luv raining on the male parade;) Interesting song, though. Very campy.
I just ignore the braggers since they don't care about anyone's feelings but their own. I like Depeche Mode for relaxation :D
I think it's sort of a satire of people who have that mindset when they lose their virginity. Kind of like "Jizzed In My Pants" was a satire of people saying x, y, z made them "jizz in their pants"<br /> <br /> Either way, I don't think this song is meant to be taken too seriously...
I don't even know what "jizzed in my pants" means. Let's leave it at that, thank you very much.
I actually learned how to spell it in a post graduate class. I learned that the word existed decades ago....a long long time ago. I didn't believe my instructor so I looked it up. It's actually a 'c' word I cannot utter. There's another "c" word I also cannot say. I seriously cannot utter the two words; they turn my stomach. Writing them to peeve off someone is another story, apparently:)
Jizzing sounds like raining. I'm going with that:)
