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.
Super human fly, super sensitized
Super this and that, super value pack
Super grass for gain, super power games
Super secret spy, under supervised
On a super stage, Super market chains
Super tanker spill, pinpoint super kill
Super info fact, super computer hack
Super master plan, cream of superman
Super deluxe fit, super shuttle trip
Super weekend break, super move to make
Sherlock super sleuth, super channel news
Future super race, super heavy weight
Super sexy stars, superficial farce
Superseding all, super 4 point 4
Super 2 point 2, super me and you
On a super charge, living super fast
Superintendent, common super sense
Super data stream, super squeaky clean
From the Super Bowl, what a supreme show
Super place to go, on board the super flow
Super highway bus, connecting them and us
Super tune it up, super fast enough
Super nova shine, super x-ray eyes
Looking deep inside, superstitious minds
Supertronic key, Super A.B.C.
Super title crown, into super sound
Super saver fare, weston super mare
Super do ray me, super duper wheeze
Supercilious, super stupid fuss
Super conducting thing, twenty super kings
Sure shot super sub, super unleaded plus
From the super loo, less than super cool
Super groupie tour, lake superior
Smoking super skunk, lost in super funk
Super structure flaw, discount super store
Super sonic boom, super rhythm groove
Super mario, super high and low
One off super smash, super black market clash
Soft and super strong, Super imposition
Super annuate, Super smashing great.
Super this and that, super value pack
Super grass for gain, super power games
Super secret spy, under supervised
On a super stage, Super market chains
Super tanker spill, pinpoint super kill
Super info fact, super computer hack
Super master plan, cream of superman

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

@[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.
