I had to analyze that song for a 10th grade english class in high school and I failed miseralbly. The teacher never did tell me why my interpretation was wrong. It's always bothered me when I hear the song on the radio. Ease my pain..What the hell do the lyrics mean??!!??!

The lyrics of the song describe the title establishment, a hotel where "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave". Due to the lyrics' cryptic nature, a wide range of interpretations have been proffered. On the surface, the song is a tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared tempting; as a metaphor the song may be commenting on drug addiction or simply the decadent lifestyle the hugely successful band had been caught up in.

One line goes something like this:
"once you check in, you can never leave"
It could mean only one thing: BATES MOTEL!!!
