hotel
Bodi Bill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A room is still a room even if it smells funny
You speak in generous words but all I need is your money
The door to your apartment needs to be fixed, honey
But please, don't do it now and please don't call the police

It is childs play to escape Sunday
In a fine way you better do as I say
It's a fine day that we have been cast away
No sleep before monday we have to go unnoticed ... prefer to go unnoticed

A knife is still a knife even if it sticks in your chest
And thanks to your advice next time I'll fly first class




They say if I keep on watching those violent movies
I might turn out to be a criminal, I might become a criminal one day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bodi Bill's song "Hotel" are a commentary on the gritty reality of life in urban settings, particularly in low-income neighborhoods where residents are forced to accept subpar living conditions. The opening line "A room is still a room even if it smells funny" sets the tone for the entire song with its unflinching portrayal of a room that is not ideal, but is still considered a necessity for survival. The next line "You speak in generous words but all I need is your money" further emphasizes the harsh reality of living in poverty where material comfort is oftentimes the priority.


The second stanza of the song contains themes of escapism and rebellion. The line "It is childs play to escape Sunday" is a reference to the mundanity of life and the need for occasional excitement. The author urges the listener to "do as I say", implying a desire to break free from societal norms and expectations. The final line "No sleep before Monday we have to go unnoticed ... prefer to go unnoticed" suggests a desire to maintain a low profile, perhaps out of fear of being caught for some illicit activity.


The final stanza deals with the consequences of making poor choices. The imagery of a knife sticking in one's chest is a metaphor for the pain and danger of living a life of crime. The line "thanks to your advice next time I'll fly first class" is a sarcastic nod to the idea that money can solve all problems, even those that stem from criminal behavior. The last line of the song "I might turn out to be a criminal, I might become a criminal one day" is a chilling admission of the potential consequences of living a reckless life.
