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.
One life, one love
Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull
Y'all know what time it is
(Go, go, go, deejay)
We go set it off tonight, just go
(Go, go, go, deejay)
Set the club on fire, just go
(Go, go, go, deejay, the club is on fire)
Enrique, holler at them like
Girl, please, excuse me if I'm coming too strong
But tonight is the night we can really let go
My girlfriend's out of town and I'm all alone
Your boyfriend's on vacation and he doesn't have to know
No, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one can do the things I'm gonna wanna do to you
No, oh, oh, oh, oh
Shout out loud, scream out loud, let me hear you go
Baby, I like it
The way you move on the floor
Baby, I like it
Come on and give me some more
Oh, yes, I like it
Screaming like never before
Baby, I like it
I, I, I like it
Party
Caramba
Fiesta
Forever
Girl, please, excuse me if I'm misbehaving, oh
I'm trying to keep my hands off, but you're begging me for more
Round, round, round, give a low, low, low
Let the time, time pass 'cause we're never getting old
No, oh, oh, oh, oh
No one can do it better, turn around, I'll give you more
No, oh, oh, oh, oh
Shout out loud, scream out loud, let me hear you go
Baby, I like it
The way you move on the floor
Baby, I like it
Come on and give me some more
Oh, yes, I like it
Screaming like never before
Baby, I like it
I, I, I like it
Come, deejay
That's my deejay
I'm a Miami boy, you know how we play
I ain't playing with you, but I want to play with you
Get me? Got me? Good
Now watch me
It's a different species, meet me in DC
Let's party on the White House lawn
Tiger woods times Jesse James
Equals Pitbull all night long
Wake up Barack and Michelle, let 'em know that it's on
Pa' fuera! pa' la calle!
Dale mamita tirame ese baile!
Dale mamita tirame ese baile!
I see you watchin' me, you see me watchin' you
I love the way you move, I like them things you do like
Don't stop, baby, don't stop, baby
Just keep on shaking along
I won't stop, baby, won't stop, baby
Until you get enough
Party
Caramba
Fiesta
Forever
Baby, I like it
The way you move on the floor
Baby, I like it
Come on and give me some more
Oh, yes, I like it
Screaming like never before
Baby, I like it
I, I, I like it
Baby, I like it
The way you move on the floor
Baby, I like it

proof of the effect that overexposure to pitbull can have on you (i mean it's still a great song, but nothing like the rest of enrique's stuff)
