I don't thinks this song is about prostitution, but I understand why some of you think that. To me this song is about someone who desperately wants the achieve success in order to become something in the eyes of the world. The person throws themselves away, or 'sells themselves to others' in order to become the person others will admire and respect. However, it is all a facade or smoke and mirrors game in which the person puts on quite a show to present a likeable image and mask the real person inside who might be less admirable.Ā Ā The video depicts this by having the man switch his image to appease his audience.

Damn, I just remembered how much I loved this song. At one point I remember relating to it so much, and now I realize that the reason why was because I was so scared that behind all the masks and the layers there was not enough me left to make a whole person.
Gotye's music still speaks to my soul tbh

This song is clearly about his feelings about being a performer and how he wants to please everyone and give enjoyment but the price of fame is making him feel like an imposter --- The line about Mother is how far back his need to entertain and please goes -- sort of like when a child says Hey Mom look at me
