I may be projecting, but I feel like the singer's lover sold out to corporate america and failed / was scape-goated for a failure. In other words, the singers lover sold out to support them, but the fact that things went bad in business was not the actual reason things went to shit between them. The real reason was that the lover lost his passion and became bitter.
You were sold
And you were bought
And you were blamed
When they forgot
But you can choose
Just how you fall
You can choose how to lose it all
