Several Metric songs are about attempting to assert personal identity in the face of corporatized culture.
It's "waiting for the crowd shot to be seen," not "crap shot." The singer is an extra in a movie, waiting for the "crowd shot" so she can be seen.
But even that is better than being "synthetica," a preprogrammed android, drugged on antidepressants ('something no pill could ever kill'), branded and trademarked. "Synthetica" sounds like a fake drug name, of course.
She'll keep the life that she's got even if it sucks, even if she's "ever underwanted," because she "won't ever let them make a loser of my soul."
Maybe life sucks but at least you're you and that counts for something. A lot actually.
