I've had this lovely Cardigans song on high rotation for the last few weeks and my take on the meaning is quite different from all the previous posts. Personally I think the key to the song meaning is the line "I just don't want it to grow" I feel Nina is referring to unplanned pregnancy, not love or a relationship. Throughout the whole song the somber overtone feels more unsettling and painful than just a generic love gone bad situation. "Erase and rewind, cause I've been changing my mind", has Nina already terminated her pregnancy and is regretting the decision or perhaps ruing the actual conception.
