Act I
Naughty Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to Hotel Cabana
Ask no questions, you'll hear fewer lies
Until the few unavoidable ones do arrive
Just try not to mention money and suicides and
If you see the boss don't look into his eyes
This place sets the date for your next mistake so
Up we step the pace, you've got fresh regrets to make
Keep your wits about you
The struggle between good and evil is about you





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Naughty Boy's "Act I" introduce the listener to the Hotel Cabana, a mysterious and foreboding place where secrets and mistakes are made. The first line "Welcome to Hotel Cabana" signifies that the singer is speaking to someone entering the hotel, indicating that this is a place that isn't widely known. The next line "Ask no questions, you'll hear fewer lies" also highlights the secrecy surrounding the hotel and the fact that everything may not be as it seems.


The lyrics suggest that some kind of unsavory activity is taking place within the Hotel Cabana, with the line "Until the few unavoidable ones do arrive" implying that a certain level of deception is to be expected. Additionally, the lines "Just try not to mention money and suicides" and "If you see the boss don't look into his eyes" suggest that there may be illegal or immoral dealings taking place within the hotel.


The final lines, "This place sets the date for your next mistake so/ Up we step the pace, you've got fresh regrets to make/ Keep your wits about you/ The struggle between good and evil is about you" speak to the idea that the Hotel Cabana is a place where people go to make mistakes and engage in morally questionable behavior. The singer warns the listener to be cautious and suggests that they will be tested in a struggle between good and evil, perhaps indicating that the allure of the Hotel Cabana is irresistible but ultimately dangerous.
