The song works on many levels. Two of these are either as a critique on music industry (or art industry), sellouts in general, or as an indifference within one person when coming to a realization to have been a "prostitute" of this worlds things, a "hungry ghost" as buddhists say.
To me - not being an artist, or really knowledgeable about the music/art business - the latter speaks more.
Two sides of confronting within a person. ("My vision is distorted by my sleazy mind")
Realization meeting fear. ("To picturesque an image to control this time
My intimate discriminating fears you test")
Indifference between possibilities and potential. ("You have the vision/power, but you keep it all to yourself")
Lost in the world of matter. (lust, money, choking....)
Do something! ("You do not have a choice, but you have a voice")
On the baseline: the song is about the revolution of the mind :)
