I can actually see the pagan feeling that someone else mentioned on here, moonlight and all. Maybe that's hearkening back to the idea of a witch's coven when they would gather in the moonlight ("and we laughed at the moonlight"). Could also be referring to the heathenesque/pagan idea of releasing all inhibitions and self-control to have fun at night.

I mainly think of this as a night gone wrong. The beginning part reminds me of an ambulance or emergency siren of some type.

The lyrics sound like the description of one of the "girls" to an emergency responder of what happened as she is in panic over one of her friends' injury of some sort. People panic and don't speak clearly, but you can' make out what they're trying to say: "We were looking for a room we were looking for a hotel we were in between we were a few chosen somewhere to fit in something that's fitting after one day it started itching and we rubbed until it was bleeding " etc.

I like the line "we were a few chosen". I hang out with teenage girls and they do think they're somehow "chosen" or something really elite and special. I also really like "somewhere to fit in". It gives the slight anxious feeling in the song that maybe not all of the girls or any of them wanted to be doing what they were doing (getting STDs etc.) but they just wanted to fit in. It's the unspoken mantra of every teenager. Add that with the voices in the background chanting (out...night out....)and it's buckets of peer pressure!
