I believe, as many others, that this song is a commentary about the mainstream music industry today. When its show time artists turn into this manufactured being, whatever image they created for themselves for the sole purpose of appealing to whatever is popular at the time; its all an act.
Also in the lines:
An illusion seldom spoken
An understanding between you and I
that the ground that you stand on
is somehow less than mine
I believe he is describing how us fans put these people on pedestals, almost worshiping them as being god like (we all know the true god is the Flying Spaghetti Monster).
These artists have a stock sound and image and reuse it time and time again creating that same bullshit music that doesn't mean a fucking thing.
