In the first verse she's clearly talking about rape.
" Courtesy to intervene
Weathered down my selfish needs "
This reminds me the Lars Von Trier's film Dogville, in which the main character is forced to have sex with all the men of the village in exchange for 'protection'.
It's like she's realizing how cruel we (human beings) can be with each other, and it generated an extreme feeling of oppression. That's why she suffocates, incorporating a character who's gonna be more accepted than her true self.
" And promise me YOU won't resuscitate "
The "YOU" in this verse refers to her true self, enhancing the idea that she has created a character to protect herself from evilness. And if she changes her mind (give up on being someone who she isn't) it will be too late because she's already lost her youth being someone who she isn't to live a 'secure life'.
In the second verse she speaks about arrogance (humility yet to be seen), and maybe authoritarianism (models made of plasticine), the government 'shapes' the people the way they want to satisfy their own needs. And also, the failure of morality, which instead of protect us, disgrace us with all its hypocrites speeches of what society should be.
"Entertain and take a bow" enhances even more the idea that she's just one more character living in the movie of real life. It also refers to other song of them, Empathy (You must work in symmetry/You must earn their empathy).
Show the crowd what they expect to see and be acclaimed.
