I agree mostly with AlmightyGingerOne's interpretation, but I have something to add
Midas is King and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
There is a story in the bible about King Midas, a man who gets to ask for anything he wants and so he asks to have the ability to turn everything he touches into gold - this seems to be a blessing at first, but one day when he goes to hold his daughter in his arms, she turns into solid gold.
For the daughter, Midas would have been someone she trusted, but instead he seemed to turn on her, and change her into something more of value to him. Of course it was an accident, but the daughter wouldn't have known that.
So the line could mean that someone close to her or someone that she trusted, has betrayed her because they've found someone/something better. This could relate to the music industry.

This could lead to her not knowing who to trust:

Who is the lamb and who is the knife?I just have to say...the story of King Midas isn't in the Bible. It's a myth.

However, you are right on all the rest of the details. And I like your interpretation.
