I might just be crazy, but this song has always reminded me of someone with a terminal illness. Like cancer. Let me explain: "Her bones will ache/Her mouth will shake" could be the physical symptoms of the illness or maybe chemo. "And as the passion dies/Her magic heart will break" Her passion for life is slowly draining away. "She’ll fly to France/‘Cause there’s no chance..." Doesn't France have some of the latest cancer treatments? I'm not sure about the "Her violet sky..." verse unless it's simply that she must accept what she has. "The souls that burn/Will twist and turn/And find you in the dark/No matter where you run" could refer that no matter what you do, you aren't going to get better. "She’s made her mark/But lost her spark/And what she’s pushing for/She can’t remember" could be about how something she's started in her life is unfinished. "She will run/She’s gonna drink the sun/Shining just for you/Instead of everyone/And so it goes/She’ll stand alone/And try not to remember/Come September" I think this is referring to when she passes on. I think the "Everything wrong/Gonna be alright/Come September" might refer to the amount of time she's been told she has. All the pain, the sadness, it's will all be gone Come September. I'm probably totally off base and reading too deep into this, but my aunt died of cancer and this song reminds me of the stuff that she went through. I can see the love/relationship angle as well. I do believe that songs should be interpreted on a personal level, and this is just my take. Food for thought.
