This song is about the repercussions of an artist becoming popular. Here are a few themes that stand out in particular.
Lenny Bruce is a counter-culturist from the 60's and is specifically mentioned at the beginning of the song to set the tone of the theme.
Her friend that broke the 12 bar blues and now pays the airline DJs can be interpreted as a sellout artist.
The sugar factory that should smell sweet refers to the idea of corporations trying to manufacture musicians and her opinion on that idea.
Finally, throughout the whole song she says she wants you to love her on the sly. So it's almost fan-appreciation and a promise to us she'll never sell out and more specifically intentionally focus on not becoming popular.
For haloween she wants to be lenny bruce so she can act afoul and make the family hate her as she want an out.

Her friend broke the 12 bar rule to prove to her that he could do better an move on in life.

The sugar factory in question is the demono's sugar factory on the water front in williamber brooklyn where metric was struggling to become famous at the time. Where am I going to move if I have to leave this house?

I want them to hate...
I want them to hate me, so I can love you on the sly. Infidelity.
