Davey Havok never writes lyrics that contain literal meaning..(these days). That being said, this song most likely isn't about a prostitute. Dave strikes me as the type of writer that creates and image for the listener while lining it with discrete details as to the bigger picture. I agree with AFI4everz, I think that it has something to do with the opinion that he has sold out. The main point of the song is falseness and how it pisses him off. The stuff that goes on behind the scenes in the music business. Where you'll be #1 one week and no one cares who you are the next. (I'll be the last to know your name. I'll be the last to want to.) The no win situation where a producer wants you while you're making money, but when you're not they leave you high and dry. (This room is just for one night). I think the lyrics are correct to say (how could you let them by you?) and not buy you. I think this is a lament of some sort to all those artists that he viewed as making good music but were forced to change into something they're not when faced with financial issues. They may not have been as big, but they were making music that they and their real fans loved. Like a loss of purity. (As you smile it hurts me so) He knows the smile isn't real.. possibly from his own experiences??
