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.
Look, baby I see you and I'm noticing you notice me
We at the same spot so this is the place to be
I'm feeling you baby so lets see bout our chemistry
You got a look on your face like baby come to me
You vibrant and you smiling so nigga don't want to leave
'cause I'm in a position that every bra want to be
If you bought it at the end of the night come with me
Ain't trying to get in your pants, we gone get something to eat
Look lil' mama, your mind is what I'm after
So I gotta ask ya
Whacha love, whacha hate
Ooh I gotta have ya
'cause you speaking the right words that I want to hear
Get a lil closer, let me whisper in your ear
I got a love jone
For your body and your skin tone
Got what it takes to make grown men moan
We almost to the end zone
You grab me and gladly, I'm Lil' Daddy and we can get it on
[Chorus]
As soon as I get home she like
And when I whisper in her ear she like
And when I lay her on the bed she like
And when I hit it all night she like
Look here love, come holla at a playa
And don't be scared 'cause your girl say I'm a trouble maker
She said I don't know y'all niggas in the back trippin'
Well if it's alright with you, we can get the dippin'
Not to be rude and don't get it twisted
'Cause I ain't noting like the other dudes in here
I just want to stop screaming stuff in your ear
Love, come and talk with me
Tell me what you bout
Enough of that small talk
'cause baby we can ooowy
[Chorus]
Now I can see me and you up in a hot tub
Makin' hot love
Til the morning, can't nobody stop us
Bay we'd be locked up, just like some pitbulls
Satisfaction guaranteed 'cause I'm this good
I just want to please you
Hug and squeeze you
Don't move for nothing, I got everything you need boo
Keep it on the B2, Blade switching
If you got a head wicha
Kick it all day wicha
[Chorus: x2]
Uh yeah
One love to my nigga Jay Brown
Know what I'm saying good looking, and all my peoples
See Boogie, My nigga K.B.,
Know what I'm saying, Jay and all my peoples
Dame we in this motherfucker, know what I'm saying
It's big pimpin' goin' down
We at the same spot so this is the place to be
I'm feeling you baby so lets see bout our chemistry
You got a look on your face like baby come to me
You vibrant and you smiling so nigga don't want to leave
'cause I'm in a position that every bra want to be
If you bought it at the end of the night come with me
Ain't trying to get in your pants, we gone get something to eat
