Okay so there's two parts of the song that caught my attention regarding SG OPMeg.

So the first one is:

I know that you're ugly like I am inside We are both the same, and I promise it's alright So why not mix my nastiness with yours tonight? And if you beg me to, I promise I will bite

Okay so obviously the song is more relatable if you imagine it in SG OP's perspective because well... the guy is genuinely obsessed with SG Megatron sskskks. And (bear in mind this is for my SG TF:One AU and not the canon SG comics in which SG Megatron is like... very much a heroic person, except for maybe the SG IDW comics where he's a bit more morally gray), I like the idea that these two understand each other.

When it comes to my SG TF:One OPMeg interpretation, I prefer to keep them very close to their baseline versions. SG Dee/Megatron is still very forlorn and a bit of a rule-follower, except a part of him is hopeful for a better future, he's just scared of actually doing anything to achieve that. I like to interpret him as having the same passion/fury as baseline Megatron but he was able to channel that passion into realizing he needed to be a better person and actually be more pro-active in trying to fix the world. Instead of succumbing to anger, he channels the strength of his emotions towards rectifying the injustice that he faced as a cogless miner. However, there was clearly a time where he was "weak" or essentially a lesser version of the heroic SG Megatron image that he'll eventually grow into - and this is a part of himself that Pax recognized and even loved, because he understood why Dee was the way he was. He couldn't blame him for trying to survive in his own way in the system they were put in.

On the other hand, SG Pax/SG OP is still like baseline in that he's reckless and still trying to find a better life for the cogless, but his goals are far less selfless and more self-serving in that he wants a better life for himself specifically, and helping others is just kinda a side thing that will happen if he finds a way to achieve that. Sure, he wants his friends to be okay, but he doesn't exactly care about helping anyone else if it doesn't benefit him. Even though he acts in a more selfish manner though, Dee recognizes why he acts the way he does and he doesn't blame him. Given their circumstances, it's hard to be nice and compassionate when self-preservation and survival takes precedent. Sure, it would be nice to be good, but given the circumstances, Dee can understand why Pax is more aggressive and more selfish. Besides, he can see that despite all that, SG Pax does hold some semblance of care for the people he likes even though he insists he only keeps people close to use them (and in a way he isn't lying but I like to interpret SG Pax as actually caring towards some of the other cogless miners like Jazz, Elita, and Bee even if he's bad at showing it).

The next line I saw was:

I fear I'm stuck to you like glue I don't wanna suffer, yearnin' if it isn't you
