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.
My vagina has two sets of lips, but I don't get
Monthly blood drips, my vagina hardly even used
My vagina's got lots of extra skin they took my
Outtie and made it an in turning Donnie into Marie Osmond
Operation successful, but now I gotta pee through a
Miniature hole gotta remember to put the seat
Down and when I wipe my ass I go from
Front to back cause I don't want a bladder infection
I never thought I'd miss my vas deferens
I trade it in for a pair of huge cans
Now I get to hang with lesbians
Operation paid up front now I show all
My friends my new designer cunt
They think I'm kinda weird, but that's
OK with me cause now I kick their ass
Playing from the ladie's tee there's
Nothing finer than having a vagina
Monthly blood drips, my vagina hardly even used
My vagina's got lots of extra skin they took my
Outtie and made it an in turning Donnie into Marie Osmond
Operation successful, but now I gotta pee through a
Miniature hole gotta remember to put the seat
Down and when I wipe my ass I go from
Front to back cause I don't want a bladder infection
I never thought I'd miss my vas deferens
I trade it in for a pair of huge cans
Now I get to hang with lesbians
Operation paid up front now I show all
My friends my new designer cunt
They think I'm kinda weird, but that's
OK with me cause now I kick their ass
Playing from the ladie's tee there's
Nothing finer than having a vagina

This song is about how NOFX hates trans women, because Fat Mike is a big smelly bag of dicks.
