I like the interpretation by douglassonon and it's probably very close, but I got two more interpretations which are kind of opposed to one another and thought I'd share. It's a pretty literal look at the lyrics so it's probably far off but here goes. Interpretation 1 is about unrequited love she's experienced She is in love with a nice guy but he doesn't love her back. He's giving her flowers (?) to show affection but she knows it's not of a place of love but friendship or something :) yeah I know, but hear me out. She wishes the world would turn cold so she wouldn't feel the hurt from her fragile glass heart breaking etc. The very first gun might refer to the very first time she fell in love, which ended up causing her a lot of hurt (like a gun would I guess). She decided to hunt the "hidden dome" which might refer to pursuing other relationships, but she's still "hungering" for that one guy and craving "the gravy" of his soul, but it's never gonna happen so she's just lost all hope and she just wants to walk alone in a sad and bleak existence! Her broken heart is her sanctuary, something that defines who she is... or whatever. Interpretation 2 is about her not being able to love someone back So she's in a relationship with a nice guy that cares for her, but she doesn't care for him back, and she wishes "the earth would turn cold" as in shut off all the affection everywhere that reminds her of her "glass heart" and here the glass heart refers to her lack of affection, like not a living organ but something artificial, lacking emotion :P The "very first gun" might mean her first sexual experience, something that made her become aware of the "hidden dome" as in the world of human sexuality! So she decides to hunt for white foxes, as in pursue other sexual relationships. Hunger as a sin might represent her need for sexual gratification or some such thing, but she's still aware of the affection she isn't feeling/getting with whoever she comes in contact with, and she remembers the guy from the beginning and realises that what she had with him was kind of nice? But he's moved on and this causes her to become depressed or something, 'cause she was too immature then to see what they had was something special. So she gives up on pursuing other relationships since they never fulfil her and ends up walking alone in a sad and bleak existence! Her emotionless heart is her sanctuary, something that defines who she is... or whatever. Those are my additional interpretations. Hope they were entertaining if nothing else :) |
