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.
I said "he so sweet make me wanna lick the wrapper..."
(Remix, baby)
Lollipop, lollipop breastses just like Dolly Parton
She ride my spaceship til he hit the top
That hit the spot
Till she ask how many li-li-licks do it take till she get to shop
Don't worry why my wrist got so freeze
Tell ya girl like Doritos thats Not-cho Cheese
Tell her friends like Fritos I'm trying to Lay
I can only have one and I ain't tryin' to wait
This a song with Wayne so you know its gon' melt
But you ain't finna murder me like everybody else
I'mma rap like I got some type (of) respect for myself
I don't do it for my health, man
I do it for the belt
Man, I do it to the death
Till the roof get melt
100 degrees, drop the roof so the coupe don't melt
Man, the flow so cold chicken soup won't help
We need four mo' hos
We need oh, oh, oh, oh!
You know what it is when we out of town
We ballin' too serious and you outta bounds
So come here, baby girl
You're now fuckin' with the best in the world
Lollipop (The best in the world, world)
Shorty want a thug
Bottles in the club
Shorty wanna hump you know I like to touch your lovely lady lumps
Shorty say she wanna lick the wrapper
And she gonna lick the rapper
And I just wanna act like a porno flicking actor
I Anita Bake her now she caught up in that rapture
I got so much chips
I swear they call me Hewlett Packard
I got so much chips
you can have a bag if you're a snacker
Greedy mother fudge cake
Now tell me how that fudge taste
I do it for Bloods sake
Sulu, thinks its voodoo
How the roof do do dissipate
Your girl want to participate
She so so so-phisticate
Cuz her brains is off the chain
And then my diamonds are in choir
Because they sangin from off my chain
And my Nina just joined the gang because
All she do is bang
Like Ricky Martin
Wayne and Kanye pick your poison
If that woman wanna cut
Then tell her I am Mr. Ointment
Tell her make an appointment with
Mr. I can't make an appointment
Take my lollipop and enjoy it
Remix!
Shorty want a thug
Bottles in the club
Shorty wanna hump you know I like to touch your lovely lady lumps
Why would she
She probably be the odd cookie
In the plastic bag bout to get crushed by a buildin'
I've flushed out the feeling of
Me being the shit
Cuz I was leaving skid marks on everywhere I sit
And I am everywhere
I'm it like hide-n-go and I can go
Anywhere, innie minnie mynie mo
Im in yo
Neighborhood, area, cd thing tape deck
iPod, your girlfriend and she say I got great sex
Safe sex is great sex
Better wear a latex
Cuz you dont want that late text
That "I think I'm late" text
So wrap it up
But he so sweet, she wanna lick the wrapper

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

"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.
Kanye is getting a lot better lyrically. He's always been a good producer and performer but it always seemed as if he tried too hard to come up with lyrics that were thought-provoking. I like this. It's playful and it has a lot of metaphors and wordplay. Lil Wayne is on point as usual. Can someone please explain to me what he means in his third stanza "This a song wit Wayne, so you know it's 'gon melt /But you ain't finna murder me like errbody else". Who's he talking bout?
"This a song wit Wayne, so you know it's 'gon melt" I think refers to how Lil' Wayne and Kanye are rated by many to be the two best rappers at the moment and Kanye is saying that with the two together you know it's going to be good.
"But you ain't finna murder me like errbody else" I think Kanye's saying Lil' Wayne isn't going to out do him lyrically like he does to everyone else he raps with.
