But failed this time" - it may have been that way in the past but they failed to buy her b/c shes standing up for herself/her music. The bullies (music industry people who think they can buy and sell girls based on their sex appeal) "Have always tried to buy the better girls. When they told me I was up for sale" - basically her manager or whoever tells her that sex sells, and part of her wants to just give in and say "ok, whatever makes the most money is what ill do"
"Capitalize on a novelty, cheap pink spotlight" - could be anything that some female "musicians" use to get attention that doesnt have anything to do with talent or the message of the music. They didnt do a very good job setting the stage for more female musicians. Please correct me, but didn't you let the work slide?" - talking again to the girls who sold out. "Where is my guide" - shes having a hard time figuring out to how work things out and be successful because everyone whos come before her has given into peer pressure. men) who would only listen to her music if shes nearly naked, or people who dont take lyrics and talent seriously.
She wants to be above the influence, and be able to be honest in her lyrics without being completely trashy (which i think metric does extremely well!) The swine are people (esp. "Now here I am, I am the one." "So hang high soft star" - now its her turn to try and do something. "Climb the wall to make the sun rise in time But the night had already begun" is talking about our predecessors putting in lots of work to make things change, but the way music has evolved its like we are back in the dark ages where women are only seen as sex objects (think every single rap video, or britney spears) This song definitely is talking about respect for women in the music industry specifically, and other industries broadly. Have always tried to buy the better girls, haven't they?

And Gene Simmons was almost 30 when he sang "Christine Sixteen." Despite the controversy surrounding a much older man obsessing about a much younger school girl (16-years-old), the song hit number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, even though many radio stations refused to play the track.
The Beatles were in their early 20s when they wrote “I Saw Her Standing There.” That song is about being in love with a 17-year-old girl. Some of these rock songs are more stomach-churning than others, and some are just plain surprising. Sure, it was definitely controversial back in the day but courting a minor didn't ruin his career.
Elvis Presley fell in love with Priscilla Beaulieu when she was just 14-years-old, for example. Sociological standards have changed a lot since the days of Neil Diamond and The Doors, though. If these horrifyingly creepy songs about young girls were written today, they might not get radio play.
