What is a showroom dummy? It is what companies use to show people their clothing, products, and ideas. A dummy can't think for itself, it can only take in the ideas that are being put onto or into it. The purpose of the song is to call people showroom dummies. People don't try to think for themselves, they simply accept the ideas coming from big companies and consumer culture. The beginning of the song explains how we become these show room dummies. We are placed in a store (maybe life until adulthood) where everyone watches others and looks around and tries to fit into society. Once we are the same as everyone else, we are ready to break the glass of the store window and walk outside. We feel like we fit in with everyone else. Then we go to the club and do the same dance that everyone else is doing.
