I feel as if this song is about her dad, and "buying stars" means having kids. For example, she talks about how the stars are free and not for him to keep (I feel like she has a rocky relationship with her dad, in "Starring Role" she says something like "You're just like my dad"). Maybe her dad had high moral standards and that's why she was so lonely in the name of being holy?

I agree. A lot of sources say it's about her dad. When I read the first verses again I felt like their relationship was that way before she was even born if you listen to "you named it after me". Her second name is Lambrini which means light, so her dad wished her to bring light in his life. He neither wanted her to listen to pop music nor did he want her to become part of pop culture nor did he want her to dye her hair. That's why she didn't tell him how she actually adored pop stars....

At school she had good grades cause her dad wanted his daughters to be well educated
