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.
He's on the level
If he's inclined
A son of a devil
He want's mine and more
Oh, he's a high, high climber
Not just a clinging vine
He made the grade
He made his marks-a-senior
Guess who's keeping score
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Buzz, buzz, give me Yayo
Rush, rush gotta Yayo
No, no, no, no Yayo
He's real speed demon
He's one of a kind
What and wait winking over his shoulder
He's running out of time
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Buzz, buzz give me Yayo
Yoyo no, no Yayo
Go, go, no, no Yayo
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Never, never take a chance before
But now he's in a hurry
Better, better make your mind up boy
He's faster
Rush, rush give me Yayo
Buzz, buzz, buzz give me Yayo
Oh, oh
No, no, give me Yoyo
Yoyo, come on Yayo
Rush, rush give me Yayo
Buzz, buzz, buzz give me Yayo
Oh, oh
No, no, give me Yoyo
Yoyo, come on Yayo
Rush, rush
Rush, rush
Rush, rush
He's a real speed daemon
He's one of a kind
What him wait
Winking over his shoulder
He's running out of time
Rush, rush
Buzz, buzz
Rush, rush
Buzz, buzz
Rush, rush
Buzz, buzz
Oh, oh
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Buss, buzz, give me Yayo
Rush, rush, rush to me Yayo
Buzz, buzz give me Yayo

Buzz, buzz to me Yayo
Rush, rush Yayo
If he's inclined
A son of a devil
He want's mine and more
Oh, he's a high, high climber
Not just a clinging vine
He made the grade
He made his marks-a-senior
Guess who's keeping score
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Buzz, buzz, give me Yayo
Rush, rush gotta Yayo
No, no, no, no Yayo
He's real speed demon
He's one of a kind
What and wait winking over his shoulder
He's running out of time
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Buzz, buzz give me Yayo
Yoyo no, no Yayo
Go, go, no, no Yayo
Rush, rush to me Yayo
Never, never take a chance before
But now he's in a hurry
Better, better make your mind up boy
He's faster
Rush, rush give me Yayo
Buzz, buzz, buzz give me Yayo
Oh, oh
No, no, give me Yoyo
Yoyo, come on Yayo
Rush, rush give me Yayo
