I think the lyrics you posted are correct, Alpha 13. I really like this song, I can totally relate to it. I think it's about her always trying to please people by being something she isn't. She's hopeless because she seems to never learn from her mistakes and she tends to keep making them over and over. I think also she says she's a bit of a follower because she likes people to take care of her, "follower of anything to take me away from this hole in the ground" and "Clinging to a feeling like a fish on a line", symbolize this feeling of dependence on someone or something so she won't actually have to stand on her own.
