I think everyones along the right lines. This song shows the contradictory feelings of the man described. He is overwhelmed by desire on seeing this young girl, the first lines showing how she lights him up and takes "only seconds to draw me in".
However, as seeing her as a symbol of purity, youth, innocence and chastity, he knows that in fulfilling his desires he will take this quality away from her:
"And your innocence I will consume"
This knowledge of what he could destroy haunts him, the chorus expressing his pain.
His contradictory feelings are also clear from the second verse, urging her to avoid him, "Hide from the scary scenes", yet wanting her to "surpress her fears" and fulfill his desire.
The title captures the contradictory feelings, "Darkshines", and even the piano part shows the conflict within the man described through the dissonance leading to the chorus.
This is another emotive and powerful song showing the quality of Muse. What a band!
