to me this song communicates how it feels to be suffocated by your own confusion and current of emotion. you don't know where you're going with it, if you're even going anywhere, or just circling the indistinct object of your confusion. the feeling seems too big to not lead to anywhere--hence the line, "certain these clouds go somewhere." the song portrays an unhealthy but addictive emotion of uncertainty and inexplicable passion. and it seems like any day it will be the end of you (in whichever way you choose to interpret that.) it could be about the unexpressed connection you feel to another person who does not recognize it ("and it bleeds into where you resist"), one of the most intense and heartrending experiences possible. and the only way to ever overcome this unnameable mass of emotion and passion is to dive deep into it, to show that not only are you unafraid to surround yourself with it, but that you are brave enough to immerse yourself in it with the notion that you may very well drown if you breathe in too deeply.
I really like your interpretation. You may be closer to the truth than she might want you to be.The key here, I think, may be in the lyric "unseen this eternal wanting". Here, Tori may be expressing a deep hidden feeling for someone that she may only be able to direct outwardly through her cryptic lyrics. This person has resisted her (maybe for a long time) and so all they do is fly around each other in a circle that never goes anywhere. The Cessna is a nice touch, but I'm not sure what, if anything, it might mean....
