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.
Listen to this
Spy on me baby, use satellite
Infrared to see me move through the night
Aim, gonna fire shoot me right
I'm gonna like the way you fight
And I love the way you fight
Now you found the secret code I use
To wash away my lonely blues
(Well) so I can't deny or lie
'Cause you're the only one to make me fly
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're a sex bomb uh, huh
You can give it to me when I need to come along (give it to me)
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb
And baby you can turn me on (baby you can turn me on)
(You know what you're doing to me don't you, I know you do)
No, don't get me wrong ain't gonna do you no harm, no
This bomb's made for lovin' and you can shoot it far
I'm your main target come and help me ignite
Love struck holding you tight (hold me tight darlin')
Make me explode although you know
The route to go to sex me slow (slow baby)
And yes, I must react to claims of those
Who say that you are not all that
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb uh, huh
You can give it to me when I need to come along
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb
And baby you can turn me on (turn me on)
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb (sex bomb)
You can give it to me when I need to come along
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb
And baby you can turn me on
You can give me more and more counting up the score, yeah
You can turn me upside down inside out
You can make me feel the real deal
I can give it to you any time because you're mine
Sex bomb
Oh, baby, sex bomb sex bomb you're my sex bomb
And you can give it to me when I need to be turned on (no, no)
Sex bomb sex bomb you're my sex bomb

I don't think everyone's idea of a "sexbomb" is the same...
No, some like adult women and appreciate the beauty within...they pick intelligence and wit over outward beauty. They pick humor and compatibility over...once again, outward beauty. They pick the heart and soul and spunk over....oh, outward beauty. Most do anyway...the men of quality anyway.
