I think this also is pointing out the fact that everyone is being the same these days. They all look the same, act the same, post the same things. People will do anything to be known and heard. That's why she sings, You can't wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline"
We all have such low self esteem that we follow others like a machine. Always the same. And when she says,"Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?," she's trying to say, by being different she's breaking the machine, the trend, and taking the backlash in like a queen. Because she's different, she sets a new normal. Your own normal. There isn't a fault in her code, its a virus that's gonna break trend and make people them themselves again.

@FishJelly05 wow, that’s actually kind of true. Especially on social media sites where some creators just do the same trends slightly differently
