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.
Baby you my everything, you all I ever wanted
we can do it real big, bigger then you ever done it
you be up on everything, other hoes aint ever on it
I want this forever, i swear i can spend watever on it
cuz she hold me down everytime i hit her up
when i get right i promise that we gon live it up
she make me beg for it till she give it up
and i say the same thing every single time
I say you the you the best
you the you the best
you the you the best
you the fucking best best i ever had
best i ever had
best i ever had

I say your the fucking best

call me when theirs no one there
put the key under the mat and you know i'll be over there
yeah... I'll be over there, shawty i'll be over there
i'll be hittin all the spots that you aint even know was there
And you aint even have to ask twice
you can have ma heart or
we can share it like the last slice
always felt like you waz so accustom to the fast life
have a playa thinkin that he met you in a past life
sweat pants hair tied chilin with no make up on
thats when your the prettiest
i hope that you don take it wrong
you dont even trip when friends say you aint bringing Dan along
you know that i'm working
i'll be there soon as i make it homeee
and she a patient in ma waitin room
never pay attention to them rumors ann wat they assume
and until them girlz prove it
i'm the one to neva get confused with cause..
Baby you my everything, you all I ever wanted

magazine paper girl
but money aint the issue
they bring dinner to ma room and ask me to initial
she call me the referie
cuz i be so official
ma shirt aint got no stripes but i can make ya kitty whistlee (meow)
like the Andy Grifith theme song,
and who told you to put them jeans on
double cup love
you the one i lean on,
feelin for a fix then you should really get ya fiend on
yea..juz kno ma condo iz the hot spot
every single show she out there reppin like a mascot
get it from the front
get it from the back
all up in ya slot until the player hit the jackpot
Baby you my everything, you all I ever wanted
