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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh, baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways?
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh, baby, oh
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All aboard
Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have
Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this?
Yeah, yes it is
But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end
Well, baby, I went down and got it for ya
Aw, you shouldn't have
Oops, I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh, baby
Oops, you (oops, you) think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love

I'm not that innocent
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby

You guys are complete idiots. If you hate Britney so much, then why do you spend so much time looking her up on this site? ..This makes me think that all of you are just afraid to admit that Britney is one of your guilty pleasures, someone who isn't a fan doesn't spend so much time talking about her.
I literally listen to every genre of music. I love it all, and that includes Britney. I admit, that she isn't the most talented artist out there, but her music is fun to listen to. So what if she doesn't write her own lyrics? She has her own style and she's talented in her own way, and thats what counts. I don't understand why people hate her so much, she seems like such a nice person, she's not even snobby. You guys are just jealous because Britney made it big and you didn't. Get a life!

The first time I heard the refrain I swore it was a cheap imitation of The Beatles' "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill". I now shudder at the comparison.
