This song is about the obsession with the sexiest and most envied people in the room. For someone in music like Page, those people are the celebrities who go to the flashy parties and are mobbed by paparazzi.
We all know these are shallow desires stemming from shallow emotions like lust and jealousy, antagonistic to everything good about human interaction like love and emotional intimacy, and yet we can't shake them.
It's about our desire to be with these celebrities, which really stems from our desire to be them. (Note the change from "I want to sleep with you" to "I want to be like you.") When we recognize that we can't be them the only resort to be with them, settling for being in their "entourage."
