Wow' I can't believe no one has seen the meaning. It's about the spawning of serial killer who makes snuff films...the subject has made frequent "buys" from a prostitue. This John knows there is no taking it slow as well as, he is taking her home. He has had this desire for some time now. The compulsion to take a life. To watch the world explode from underneath your glow is a metaphore for the exact moment the killer plunges the knife or strangles his victim. it is not mentioned which is his m/o. He has yet to develop his technique. It's his first kill. From underneath your glow...the taking of her life. Her life aura leaving. To watch her kreeping across his skull is to explain this drawn out meticulously planned killing. he has thought about ,planned, and desired this for some time. For her to enter the room slowly and to crawl her knees off and knowing his room all speaks of the planning this took. She has been here before, She knows his likes and dislikes. Duh.. he has paid her for the other encounters. As wierd as his demands are she will sucumb to his request... he is the customer and is paying for his "fantasy" This killer is filming his first experience.I want to watch you close I want to see for sure. This killer is getting off on seeing this person die.Being it was his first killing and snuff film, He mistakingly recorded himself.. prompting who do think we will show. He is asking this dead girl in a sick joking way.As to his avoidance of including himself in the film.

yeaaahhhh this guy's got it. my thoughts were a killer on the meaning pretty much. sex was a part of it too but idk where u gyz r gettin the interpretation of it just being sex haha. my loose interpretation was it's about a killer who takes women home and has sex with them and kills them but glad to think i'm not the only 1 who thinks it
