I think this song is about an agent-client situation. The narrator is the agent who manipulates and scams the unaware client.
The first verse is the agent admitting his games, but saying he's harming the client. He's okay with what he does, and says at least he understands himself.
The first bridge takes up through the client gaining fame and becoming popular/gaining attention.
The pep talks part, is something that seems common to celebrities, who have agents and people leeching on to them, who continually boost their ego. "You're amazing, you're talented, you're beautiful, etc." It boosts the client into an overconfident, but clueless individual. And the agent uses that cluelessness to scam the client.
The second bridge is the downfall/realizing the scam and the followed breakdown. The agent causes the downfall and brings her back up, but is controlling her and being manipulative.
