I believe this song is about how in order to exist on some elevated level in society nowadays often we must endure some form of social distortion, bullying or soul selling (an unfair exchange rate in order to remain relevant). On a broader level, from the day we are born we are subject to some form of judgement or scrutiny in some shape or form you could say. Furthermore, no matter what sex you are, there's often times an indelible price to pay for fame or success. This song is a cautionary tale, saying your investment (whatever it may be for) may end up costing you more then you think in the long run. Many will end up buckling under the weight of it all and very few will likely thrive.
