    Great question made me do some research. Thought this was interesting from RG/KTT

    "Trapped in a theater like ? "... as you may already know, in real life, ? was never actually trapped in a theater. He died in a bunker. Kanye is referencing the movie "Inglorious ? ". Kanye isn't referencing real life, he's referencing the media's version of real life.

    Another line goes like "300 like the Romans..." Now, he's referencing another movie loosely based on real life, "300". In real life, the forces of the 300 didn't belong to the Romans, it belonged to Greece. He's deliberately mistaking reality for his own version of it.

    Kanye deliberately referenced two historical events, that had famous movies based on them, and referenced the media's version of these real events, as opposed to what actually happened. By doing so, Kanye is making an extended metaphor on how real life can be altered by the media, a concept which correlates to his own life (how the media perceives him as an ? , etc).

    By doing so, Kanye is making his own version of REALITY with this song. These themes may be extended within the album. Since he calls himself a ? in "I Am ? ", the album might be about his own shaping of reality. His version of the world, since he is a ? . During "Black Skinhead", since he is ? , he can alter reality and perceive it the way he wants to.

    All the movie references actually have a bigger meaning. He's talking about how the media (ie movies) can alter the perception of things. The King Kong line is a reference to how the media perceives his relationship with Kim. They portray him as the giant ape, trying to kidnap the white woman..."

    300=CCC=cool calm collected

    Y'all think Hes being this deep?
    At the least I think it's a hot line that fits the song

    I don't think this is that far fetched. If you look at "all of the lights", "flashing lights", "street lights", "ultralight beam" , and "low lights"... You see Kanye has consistently used the word light to alternatively mean "hollywood lights" vs. Light of the lord/truth In the biblical sense for song titles and concepts

    I'm not saying everything in that paragraph you say is true, however, the interplay between Hollywood, reality, inner demons, and ? are consistently explored in kanyes music.
