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.
Yeah
Yeah
When I walk on by
Girls be looking like, "Damn he fly"
I pimp to the beat
Walking down the street in my new LaFreak, yeah
This is how I roll
Animal print pants outta control
It's Redfoo with the big afro
And like Bruce Leroy I got the glow, yeah (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
I-I, I work out (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
I-I, I work out
When I walk in the spot (yeah) this is what I see (okay)
Everybody stops and they staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it
Show it, show it, show it
I'm sexy and I know it
I'm sexy and I know it
Yeah
When I'm at the mall security just can't fight 'em all
And when I'm at the beach, I'm in a speedo tryna tan my cheeks (what?)
This is how I roll, come on ladies it's time to go
We headed to the bar, baby don't be nervous
No shoes, no shirt, and I still get service, watch
Girl look at that body (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)
I-I, I work out (ah)
Girl look at that body (ah)

WTF would a straight man be doing at the beach wearing a speedo trying to tan his cheeks? Animal print pants??
This song is hella gay.
The point of the song is to make mockery of the no-brain meatheads who assume that just because they are well-built and spend time in the gym that they are "all that a girl wants". You know, those Jersey Shore types morons.
