When you're young
You're sleeping
With the love
You're feeling
Waking up
To evening
To the pulse
And breathe in
Nothing left
Just ember
Only we
Remember
A bottle not
For sharing
Poison for
A fairy
You're sleeping
With the love
You're feeling
Waking up
To evening
To the pulse
And breathe in
Nothing left
Just ember
Only we
Remember
A bottle not
For sharing
Poison for
A fairy

The song is probably inspired by the film discapacitadosocial was describing but I'm sure it is more than merely a plot description. Wilson has written it vaguely enough for it to apply metaphorically to other situations. Aside from the film, I think this song is about the death of innocence.
"When you're young you're sleeping with the love you're feeling" A young child lives with love dormant in their soul, waiting for it to emerge as an adult.
"Waking up to evening to the pulse you're breathing" Waking up, that love is ready to emerge for the world to see.
"Nothing left, just embers. Only we remember a bottle not for sharing, poison for the fairies." This is where it relates to the film. The witch has tricked the girl but the girl has gotten revenge. However, the young girl has been exposed to the evils of the world, i.e. trickery, manipulation, murder, etc. Now nothing is left but embers, physically and emotionally. Her innocence is gone. This dark piece of humanity she's uncovered is something she should not share. It is a poison to the fairies, a venom to the children. The world is a dark place which will destroy a child's innocence.
