First of all, this is one of the nicest songs I've ever heard. But I think the songs title relays a great deal of meaning to the song itself.

Throwing fire at the sun is always going to be a very futile exercise, and I think she refers to a partner/friend/relation that is leaving her, and no matter how hard she tries, they refuse to stay.

"I dont know why you want to leave this space between, is it easier to be alone and have nothing?"

Totally agree. And this is a stunning song.
