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.
Well woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again
Do you, you, feel like I do? (how'd ya feel?)
Do you, you, feel like I do?
My friend got busted, just the other day
They said, "don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away"
Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag
Had to play some music, otherwise he'd just crash
Do you, you, feel like I do? (how'd ya feel?)
Do you, you, feel like I
Do you, you, feel like I do?
Yes ya do
Do you, you, feel like I
Do you feel like we do?
Do you feel like we do?
Oh, that's true
Do you feel
Do you feel
Like we do?
I wanna thank you
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again
Do you, you, feel like I do? (how'd ya feel?)
Do you, you, feel like I do?
My friend got busted, just the other day
They said, "don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away"
Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag
Had to play some music, otherwise he'd just crash
Do you, you, feel like I do? (how'd ya feel?)
Do you, you, feel like I
Do you, you, feel like I do?
Yes ya do
Do you, you, feel like I
Do you feel like we do?
Do you feel like we do?
Oh, that's true
Do you feel
Do you feel
Like we do?
I wanna thank you

on the live version in the voice box section about 10 minutes into the song i hear - "do you feel like we do? Fat rolled joint! Fat rolled joint, heres your joint, heres your joint, whose joint? Woooo Whose joint, Whose joint? (repeated)" Anyone else hear this????
in the part of the song you are referring to, at no point does he say anything even remotely close to what you're (mis)interpreting....that whole riff is based on him saying "goodnight"
No. He's saying "Good night"
