I think it's about the end of a love affair, or the rejection of one.
The first verse is about burst balloons, missed trains, etc, and the second about closed doors and torn photos.
So, the message is that she doesn't belong to someone who still thinks she does, still puts his/her hands on her, but that it's too late for that now and she's hers and hers alone.

You're right! That's the global meaning of the song... It's about "the end of a love affair"... When she says "Je ne suis pas ta chose", she says "I'm not yours any more", and the reason is in the words "J'aurais préféré ta bouche / à mon corps indigo sous tes coups"... It means "I would have prefered your mouth, rather than your punches on my indigo body..." Clearly, he hits her, so she leaves... ^^ "I'm not the girl on who you place your hands"
