this song is written from the perspective of someone who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder [NPD] [they call themselves 'narcs'], who typically have manipulative relationships with their significant others and feel that they are always entitled to attention, on a dime.
they lack empathy and the ability to feel human emotion:
'Love, is this loving, babe?'
they will maintain eye contact with their partner to convince them of the veracity of their claims [of love, concern for their problems etc] but it's just a studied move:
But, baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
of course, they feel they should always be at the center of attention, and without the attention they feel helpless:
Feast your eyes, I'm the only one
Control me, console me
again, they view emotions in a coldly detached manner, and simply replicate them in a mechanical manner:
I show some love and respect [rather than actually feeling said love and respect]

I have more examples, but you get the gist
@teoferrazzi While the other explanations are interesting, this is spot on.
