I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotized by the Whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street
I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near
Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break
Hum-yeah!

Bexz0n shares my thoughts on this; she is describing the events of love affair (one/many not important).
And, in my understanding, she comes off as quite the man-eater... "I'm your one-way street" but no mention of him being her's and she burns him while he walks the path she has set for him.
She is so lively and enticing, a fountain of life (blood), and she draws him in, alluring him to fall in and she feels alive herself through the interaction with him. She toys with him or is wary of handling her game, sending him away knowing he'll be back or lost (not so much to her as to himself). And indeed, she may come to like her game too much and in the end the curtains are gone and the mess is in the open and "loving me is the easiest thing" is both a last prayer for another chance and a mantra of strength for the future (a future that might repeat the past).
Possibly a much too personal interpretation and apparently, judging from seemingly knowledgable comments above, not the intended story of the makers but I like it this way anyway. Its a brilliant piece and works many ways. :)
