I heard fiona say that this is not supposed to be a sad song, ''darkness turned into the dawn''. growing up is a mixed blessing, at the same time,she is talking about the loss of innocence, ''the child'' she's also saying that she can cope better on her own now, she is learning to deal with reality because as we grow up, there is nothing else that we can do but cope. ''no kind of loving can make this alright''. she's saying to her man, she doesn't need his love right now because it's a situation that can't be healed by that kind of attention, she needs to be left on her own, but she changes her tune in the bridge, explaining to him, that she's ''a mess''. ''honey, help me out''.
