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.
(Four, tres, two, uno)
Listen up, y'all, 'cause this is it
The beat that I'm bangin' is delicious
Fergalicious, definition make them boys go loco
They want my treasure, so they get their pleasures from my photo
You could see me, you can't squeeze me
I ain't easy, I ain't sleazy
I got reasons why I tease 'em
Boys just come and go like seasons
Fergalicious (so delicious)
But I ain't promiscuous
And if you was suspicious
All that shit is fictitious
I blow kisses (mwah)
That puts them boys on rock, rock
And they be lining down the block
Just to watch what I got (four, tres, two, uno)

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.

Life in Your Way

High life
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
pretty sure i wouldn't mind if fergies voice box turned black and fell out her ass.
video makes me sick. song makes me wana rip my ears off and set them on fire.
what the fuck is, putting them boys on rock rock? crack, rock?
also would like to cause harm to whatever asshole gave a meth addict a record contract. meth.. now, that's tastey.
wtf is this shit???
sigh
So many things bother me about this song. First of all, the fact that she sampled so many other songs, including JJ Fad's "Supersonic". The line "hit it fer-gie" annoys me qite a bit, because it's so close to the original song. She could've at least given initial credit for sampling, since HER song is such a big hit. She didn't make it that far by being original, and no one is aware of that. That's just disturbing to me. Second, I know that the mispelling of "tastey" was for rythmn's sake, But it's so annoying! Couldn't she just pick a different word? I'm sure she could've found a six-letter word that gives the same effect. Someone needs to get Fergie a thesarus. Third, the word "rock". I don't think she's talking about dancing or a genre of music in this context, so "on rock" can only mean one thing. Isn't she such a good influence? In conclusion, I bet this song won't last. I hope it dosn't. Just wanted to put my opinion out there.
Ok folks! There's been lots of talk about "TASTY" being misspelled in Fergalicious and let me just lay this topic to rest (atleast on this forum). What everyone thinks is an "E" thrown in there is not actually what you are hearing. What you are hearing is actually a "broken" pronunciation of the "T". So if you had to actually spell it out the way you're hearing it (or how will.i.am. saying it) would be "tee-ee", not "T-E". You hear this kind of thing all the time in pop/hip-hop music. Breaking a word's or letter's pronunciation is common to fit the structure of the verse or rhyme. And also if you look at the actual lyric book that comes with the CD, it's plainly printed "T to the A to the S-T-Y girl you tasty". So, he is actually saying "TASTY" with a broken pronunciation of the "T". Hope this helps
This song sucks dick
wow. this song...these songs...being played on the radio?!! what has happened to this generation? it's embarrassing that people actually call someone like Fergie an ARTIST.
It takes true talent to write lyrics as horrible as these. I really can't put it into words how much I hate this song. It's a perfect example of how mainstream pop music is so shallow.
in the beginning verses when it says "they gets their pleasures from my bozo" its supposed to be photo. yea i didnt ever kno wat she cleary said at first but i juss heard it again and it juss came in my head..hehe..ne ways it makes sense too cuz she says before that "they want my treasures..." meaning i guess by looking at her picture and get off on that. it might not sound like it but sum songs r like that when artist say stuff sloppy or fast on purpose. juss thought i would let ne1 who reads the lyrics kno.
thankies, aeris1213! edits yeah sorry about that, i couldnt figure out what she was saying... makes a lot more sense now, lol.
hehe wat a funky beat. fergie's awesome. recommend anyone to get the album. heapsa party songs.
