This song at once struck me as about a girl (Deanne) being so caught up in her own shit that she made his life a misery. She hated herself: "Everyone cared about you/Why couldn't you?" And she was "Wallowing in her blissful melancholy" So instead she took all his happiness and hope simply because she had none herself. It was like he tried to help her at first, and she just "stole other silver linings".
