Lyric discussion by linalka 

it's not necessarily about modeling per se, but youth-obsession in general, & how society leeches on youth. Media, older men (ephebophiles?), fashion, they take what they can from a girl or boy's most magical age (under 21), when she still has that sparkle in her eyes... then they throw her away or ignore her. The polaroid doesn't have to relate to modeling, the polaroid represents stolen youth, eg. the older man captures a girl in the perfect age (17), sucks her of her youth then lets her go.

I suppose you could also relate it to underage porn, as even if a victim of such child abuse has escaped this sleazy lifestyle, her pictures will never be erased from the internet/pervert's collections... I could go on, but this is what a lot of pedos do, they keep a kid's picture as a twisted souvenir.
