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.
Are you who I be in this weekend
If so, let's get lost in the deep end
Exhale my name, then you absorb my soul every time that you breathe in
Take off that dress, lay your heart on my chest
I think I wanna keep it
You fall asleep, no worries, I be right here when you finish dreaming
I see something in you, I know that it's crazy 'cause girl I just met you
But we joining forces 'cause that would be gorgeous
No girl, I won't let up
I just rolled the dice so no more thinkin' twice that's the issue with fellas
If you feel what I feel can you just keep it real
Baby, it ain't no pressure
No need to state the obvi', I be close to your heart
I know you looking for real love
I got my hand on my Glock, posted on the block
I might just let off a shot, at anyone tryin' to kill love
If we do this right, we'll be Bonnie and Clyde for the rest of our lives
Hit up a bank, then hide out in the woods for the rest of the night
Make love on the cash that we took from the vault just a while ago
Said you can't describe this, no feeling, you feeling, well I'll move slow
I saw something in you that you didn't see, I made you a believer
I taught you the ropes, now you good at the game
Baby, I was your teacher
Yeah, you made me fall like the autumn, but chin up 'cause I'll never leave ya
I no longer front, girl, your more than a one night
I know that I need you
No need to state the obvi', I be close to your heart
I know you looking for real love
I got my hand on my Glock, posted on the block
I might just let off a shot, at anyone tryin' to kill love
No need to state the obvi', I be close to your heart
I know you looking for real love
I got my hand on my Glock, posted on the block
I might just let off a, kill love
If so, let's get lost in the deep end
Exhale my name, then you absorb my soul every time that you breathe in
Take off that dress, lay your heart on my chest
I think I wanna keep it
You fall asleep, no worries, I be right here when you finish dreaming
I see something in you, I know that it's crazy 'cause girl I just met you
But we joining forces 'cause that would be gorgeous
No girl, I won't let up
I just rolled the dice so no more thinkin' twice that's the issue with fellas
If you feel what I feel can you just keep it real
Baby, it ain't no pressure
No need to state the obvi', I be close to your heart
I know you looking for real love
I got my hand on my Glock, posted on the block
I might just let off a shot, at anyone tryin' to kill love
If we do this right, we'll be Bonnie and Clyde for the rest of our lives
Hit up a bank, then hide out in the woods for the rest of the night

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.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
