"Your ever wayward eyes... Will be her demise"
I think I agree with the meaning of this song. Usually something like our "wayward eyes" seem like just a personal issue, not involving anyone else. But, when we act on what we think it's going to have consequences that we can't take back ("She prays for the hourglass to flip and reverse").
It's a sad moment when someone goes from their naive, innocent view of themselves ("benign sense of self") to a revealing image ("Now she has your eyes") that they can go back from ("Celebrating her exit").
