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.
Ah come on
Yeah
Your lips
Your hips
When you touch em to mine each and every time
I'm hypnotized, I'll admit it
Your moves
Your grooves
It's some heavy stuff, I can't get enough
Girl your love's a drug, I can't quit it
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat
From the needle through my ahead, hit repeat
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You're a song I gotta sing along with the men
When it gets to the end I gotta play it again and again
My friends, are wearing thin
They're tired of hearing your name
It ain't a healthy thing, this obsession that I'm living
So baby please
Rescue me
I ain't never had nothing stuck in my head
I guess a melody I keep on hearing
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat
From the needle through my ahead, hit repeat
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You're a song I gotta sing along with the men
When it gets to the end I gotta play it again and again
Like a yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo babe is what I feel like
Up and down, driving me crazy
Keep yank-yank-yanking my string-string baby baby
Don't stop, don't stop
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat
From the needle through my ahead, hit repeat
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You're a song I gotta sing along with the men
When it gets to the end I gotta play it again and again
Again, again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
And again, and again
Yeah
Your lips
Your hips
When you touch em to mine each and every time
I'm hypnotized, I'll admit it
Your moves
Your grooves
It's some heavy stuff, I can't get enough
Girl your love's a drug, I can't quit it
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat
From the needle through my ahead, hit repeat
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You're a song I gotta sing along with the men
When it gets to the end I gotta play it again and again
My friends, are wearing thin
They're tired of hearing your name
It ain't a healthy thing, this obsession that I'm living
So baby please
Rescue me
I ain't never had nothing stuck in my head
I guess a melody I keep on hearing
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat
From the needle through my ahead, hit repeat
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You're a song I gotta sing along with the men
When it gets to the end I gotta play it again and again
Like a yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo babe is what I feel like
Up and down, driving me crazy
Keep yank-yank-yanking my string-string baby baby
Don't stop, don't stop
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat
From the needle through my ahead, hit repeat
I'm a broke record, a broke record.
You're a song I gotta sing along with the men
When it gets to the end I gotta play it again and again
Again, again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
And again, and again
