Blue October – Dirt Room Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe this song is about when they got ripped of by their record label.

"You think you own me
You should have known me
You took the future and the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
But I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
We'll see what I do to you"

You think you own me, because of the contract and such. By referring to You took the future and food of my family's plate because the label took BO's Money.

Now by


"Now you'll be living in a dirt room
Breathing through a straw of your own"

I think 1stly a Dirt Room is much like a Grave, but more so when people say "your digging your grave" or "you're digging your self a hole" not to mention a hole is below US.

Breathing through a Straw OF YOUR OWN, They put BO down and used them and now BO wants the same for them.
