I get the impression that Emily is singing about having a child as a celebrity in the public eye. She has stated on several occasions that Synthetica represents a very fake version of her and the Hollywood lifestyle. She is getting older, and wrestling with the idea of giving up her career and fame to make a clone of herself. She is also questioning her ability to raise a child in that environment; having the time to raise a happy clone, offering it the world and not disappointing the child. Celebrity babies like Suri, Maddox, Apple and Ivy Blue come to mind, and how they are thrust into the spotlight from birth, being raised by nannies when their actual parents don't have the time.
