I agree. The lyrics, and the way they are sung just say that.
I love this song.
It seems more to me like a supreficial love.
Trying ot control someone beutiful with money, power, and threats.
"You can't escape now
I've got you locked inside this room
You know I tip good
And soon, you will love me too"
The person has their object of affection locked in the room (a basement I assume). They are talking about how they will give them enough money for their love to love them back.
"Don't be upset now
You know I get angry too"
DOn't get upset about this situation, or I will get angry and...
"Don't make me hurt you
It's true, no one hears you in this room"
I will hurt you if you don't smarten up,a nd act happy. No one can help you now.
"This is what you get
When you're talking back baby"
I assume the person went through with their previous threat.
"I never bounce a check
So give it up baby"
The object of affection is trying to make excuses, that the person wioll give them a fake check, but it's not helping them, because their kidnapper "never bounces a check"
"Open up your eyes
I want to watch you cry"
Can't you see, I want to see you cry.
"Come on come on
The camera's on"
This could be figurative, or literal. If it's figurative, it means, I'm watching, its time, if its literal, it could mean that the kidnapper is actually taping the victim.
"Now I'm a changed man
But as a boy I was so true"
He's not true anymore. Less innocent, and fulkl of intergerity. The world has shown him that money, and power can buy him love (wrong).
"The world can't protect you
Not like money will"
People won't have your back, but you can always fall back on money.
"You want some bread now?"
The kidnapper holds the victim without any food, the victim is asking. Duh.
"Just promise me you'll never make me believe you"
I'll save you, if your preachings don't slither their way into my conscieness. Or in simpler words, if you don't convince me to let you out, I'll let you live.
"It's true: no one hears you in this room"
Again nothing can help you, it's just you and me.
The title of this song fits nicely.
I love this song, I can hear it ove,r and over again.
Its meaning is really creepy, but I love it.
Cobra Starship is rocking some serious sock, right now.
