I agree with those saying it's about the music industry.

In the beginning of the song it sounds like the singer is someone who does it for the first time and then when the crowd applauds he's locked into it because he loves the applauds and the attention but then the next part it has the machine and the currency generator. So he's in love with the money. Because then it says "It's a guillotine a mirror held up to your own behavior". I think that is a comment about some of the singers who get caught up in their own success and go down a sad road like drugs.

Basically I think the song is about taking a step back and reevaluating why your doing it and how much you love singing so you don't get a big head. (I'm gonna take my bow and disappear into the sound)
