I think that the fire door is a tragedy you put behind you. The four lips in my opinion are people you see engaging in a relationship after you lost one. I think that when she repeats over and over again in the live version "none of which were mine" shes stressing the fact that she's alone, but she has to make it alone. I love every lyric in this song but my favorite is "my mind is disconnected but my heart is wired." That is the only way to explain crazy acts when you are in love. And it gives a great visual. The cockroach analogy is "killing" the aggressor in a relationship. You ended something so big, intense and doomed that when you finally end it. The whole thing splatters in your face. I don't think this song is independent so much until the end. She first says "oh, how i miss
substituting the conclusion to confrontation with a kiss
and oh, how i miss
walking up to the edge and jumping in
like i could feel the future on your skin" Which I think is talking about missing the part after a fight where it doesn't end but you make up. But after admitting that weakness, she continues to sing, "I opened the fire door" Which turns the song into an independent one. Especially in the live version when she screams "I wasn't kidding when I said goodbye" AHhh so many metaphors. I loveee it!
