to me, this song looks like a song about consumerism and how we are all fashion slaves and there is no escaping it. The phrases like, "where cookies cut can play their games/wear the shirts of their pricetag names." This is describing how everyone looks and dresses in the same expensive clothing and look like they were made from cookie cutters. The game that they play is sex which he goes into in the next verse when he says "come pull the cord kiss me goodnight/bound in blood dollar signs confirmed" and then "Shut your eyes don't breathe so loud/it's just and episode/shut your eyes don't talk so loud/ it's just an episode/if thats what it costs then I am free" this whole thing talks about how meaningless sex has become as we have sex with anything that will be a slave to the fashions. Then calling it an "episode" which just is just rhetoric that relates to a trend follower that can easily identify with the situation if they consider it an "episode" like they would see on their favorite TV show. The line "a pretty penny now you paid your price/if I ripped my heart fight from you/would you feel it?" this whole thing is also about how meaningless all the sex is and that relationships have become completely meaningless due to our densensitization and how we've become mere herd animals following any trend that will allow us to be "free". I'm kinda rambling, I could be wrong.
