I am somewhere between cakeY's and whatshe_said's interpretation. Both of interpretations are very good, I think, and probably better than mine.
I think that song is about being sexual deviant or maybe, if "deviant" is too strong ephitet, maybe about having anormal sexual needs. The girl sees that she have different sexual needs than others and she cannot deal with it, because people around her don't accept it. Maybe she has moral or religous problem with it. She can't find support in religion wich condemn her and she can't find in family which throw her away. "She can't find a lover" who would understand her different needs and who would satisfy her, so "she'll fasion one", she'll imagine lover, she'll escape to unreal world, world of her own fantasy. And later, she's too emotionally involved in this, she cannot come back, so she "disappeared". She doesn't want to come back to world which throw her away. She probably suffers from that kind of life, and she doubts in love. I know, my whole interpretation is too complicated, and that probably wasn't that what chris corner meant, but that's just what this song means to me.
P.S. I'm sorry if my english is wrong.I don't use that language usually in my country. Anyway, I hope that my post in understandable.
