that's a beautful interpretation. I also think it's to do with bipolar disorder. I love the line 'carbon made only wants to be unmade' - it's the person's mind. They can never settle into one mood or situation, even if it makes them happy. There is no security, as their mood is always changing, and just when they think they're 'better' or stable, there is another crisis. They can't find any degree of consistency or middle ground.
