To me, this sounds like someone who follows their dreams, has an idea about something and pictures it, then gets the chance to be what they always wanted to be, only to find it's nothing like they thought it'd be. This is especially true, I think, for music artists who have ideas about their music and songs, but end up joining a record company who have very different ideas. (Which, I think, is what ended up happening with Icon For Hire. They joined Tooth and Nail, but they were given a co-writer to supervise and keep them in line.)
