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.
When I see you baby
I wanna take off your clothes
Just rip off your clothes
Just take off your clothes
When I see you I want you to
Take of my clothes
Just rip off my clothes
Just take off my clothes
Well make yourself at home and take off your clothes
We'll get naked and we'll see how it goes
I know baby you're frustrated
But I'd like it if we waited
Get a little more acquainted,
It's better when anticipated
(Just take off your clothes)
I wanna touch your little hip bones
Your collar bones
And all your other bones
And your happy trail
It's my happy trail
You're treasure trail,
Let's see what goes down
Come on baby you're fixated,
I think I'd like it if we waited
Get a little more acquainted,
It's better when anticipated
(Just take off your clothes)
Just take off your clothes!
So come on baby don't be shy,
And let's begin
And I'll take off your clothes
Cause everyone knows
You like me it shows
And you know how it goes
If you take off your clothes
We'll see how it grows
I just wanna know
If you take off your clothes
(You take off your clothes)
And if you take off your clothes
(I'll take off my clothes)
And I take off my clothes
(I'll rip off your clothes)
Rip off my clothes
(I'll rip off my clothes)
Rip off your clothes
(I'll take off your clothes)
Take off your clothes
(I'll rip off my clothes)
Rip off your clothes
(I'll take off your clothes)
Come on just take off my clothes
I know baby you're frustrated,
But I'd like it if we waited
Get a little more acquainted,
It's better when anticipated
Just take off your clothes!
Please.
I wanna take off your clothes
Just rip off your clothes
Just take off your clothes
When I see you I want you to
Take of my clothes
Just rip off my clothes
Just take off my clothes
Well make yourself at home and take off your clothes
We'll get naked and we'll see how it goes
I know baby you're frustrated
But I'd like it if we waited
Get a little more acquainted,
It's better when anticipated
(Just take off your clothes)
I wanna touch your little hip bones
Your collar bones
And all your other bones
And your happy trail
It's my happy trail
You're treasure trail,
Let's see what goes down
Come on baby you're fixated,
I think I'd like it if we waited
Get a little more acquainted,
It's better when anticipated
(Just take off your clothes)
Just take off your clothes!
So come on baby don't be shy,
And let's begin
And I'll take off your clothes
Cause everyone knows
You like me it shows
And you know how it goes
If you take off your clothes
We'll see how it grows
I just wanna know
If you take off your clothes
(You take off your clothes)
And if you take off your clothes
(I'll take off my clothes)
And I take off my clothes
(I'll rip off your clothes)
Rip off my clothes
(I'll rip off my clothes)
Rip off your clothes
(I'll take off your clothes)
Take off your clothes
(I'll rip off my clothes)
Rip off your clothes
(I'll take off your clothes)
Come on just take off my clothes
I know baby you're frustrated,
But I'd like it if we waited
Get a little more acquainted,
It's better when anticipated
Just take off your clothes!
Please.
