I agree with Hotel-Paper's analysis. From the first verse, I get this idea that it's about a pedophile who basically uses her and manipulates her to do inappropriate things ("You can close your eyes and tell me that you are a visionary") He tries to make it sound okay but in the end, it's still wrong ("But no matter how you frame it, it's still pornography"). The second verse sounds like she is being raped or molested and she tries to say no but he won't listen to her and keeps going. ("Nobody seems to hear till I scream and shout...") The line blowing my candle out sounds like losing your virginity and losing her innocence. The chorus sounds like she is finding comfort in herself the "glow" is her inner strength that she finds when she is struggling. The next verse talks about the aftermath of her being molested. She knows that she is not the same girl as she was before and now is trying to heal herself though he still treats her badly. He basically tries to give her a hard time ("There's so many things you rant about") and (Blowing her candle out") in this phrase sounds like he's bringing down her self'esteem and self confidence. The chorus is basically her trying to convince herself she still is special and to not let the guy make her feel worthless. This is a very deep song and can be used in so many instances.
