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 ball on these hoes and I flex, did it on my own
I'm in the cut with a TEC, this ain't what he want
She just want the diamonds on my neck, she gon' catch a cold
I just fell in love with her neck, I can't let her go
I can't let her go
'Member when I met her in the trap, she was scraping bowls
Whipping work, running from the cops, she was hitting curbs
In the car, singing all my songs, she knew all the words
Then I lost her
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her
Even tho I got all of these hoes on my roster
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her, just lost her
Yeah, I just lost her
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her
Even tho I got all of these hoes on my roster
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her, just lost her
Yeah, I just lost her
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her
Even tho I got all of these hoes on my roster
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her
Give me head in my joggers
You thought these were Nikes? Sorry these Balenciagas
They thought I was the devil because I had all the Prada
Keep the heavy metal in my skin, these like a rocker
9 9 9, fuck 'em all, that's the motto (hey)
If you end up power, fill 'em up with hollows
I sip Hennessy, won't catch me popping bottles (ayy)
Up in VIP seducing all the models, ayy
Don't blink, put the Raf Simons on to complement the mink
There's a room full of hoes getting wet for me
But they only wanna fuck me for my Louis V (yeah, ayy)
Told her don't blink, got the Raf Simon pants complement the mink
There's a room full of hoes getting wet for me
But they only wanna fuck me for my Louis V
So I lost her
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her
Even tho I got all of these hoes on my roster
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her, just lost her
Yeah, I just lost her
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her
Even tho I got all of these hoes on my roster
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I just lost her, just lost her
I just lost her
Fucked her for the minute even tho I didn't want her
I grew up with them niggas that was serving on the corner
I was on my trap phone taking all the orders
When I lost her (when I lost her)
Whoa, I just lost her
Whoa, I just lost her
I'm in the cut with a TEC, this ain't what he want
She just want the diamonds on my neck, she gon' catch a cold
I just fell in love with her neck, I can't let her go
I can't let her go
'Member when I met her in the trap, she was scraping bowls

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.

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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

@[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.
