I'm not too sure, but in the first verse, it sounds as though he's looking at a photograph of someone that was just really sad, sick maybe. "A black and white collage of a chemical emotion."
In the second verse, it sounds as though the person in the photo has passed away. "I could tie you down
Keep you down to earth like a cut and bleeding angel"...perhaps meaning that, if this person were to stay on earth, and stay alive, it would harm them more than anything. So when he says, " I can tell you're feeling better now." Maybe he's referring to the fact that now that they've passed away, they're no longer sad, or no longer in pain.
Anyway, I love Jump, Little Children!
