Specifically, it seems to be about a cam-girl, perhaps her first night online, and a particular member of her audience. More generally, Elvis addresses the alienation from love and sexuality that results from the absurd, false intimacy of internet chat rooms, et cetera. I have wondered from time to time if Elvis, alone in hotel rooms as he toured as a headliner, has occasionally plumbed those depths as a consumer. Have there been "...times when he was so lonely he took some comfort there"? I don\'t think Elvis is venting a \'screed\' against pornography. The song is nuanced in the lyrics, and the melody has a wistful quality that seems to express empathy rather than judgement and anger.

@Phostructor that's not possible, since "Spike" was released 7 years before the first camgirl went online.
