This is the type of music I like to hear from P!nk. her deeper stuff outdoes her fun stuff.
I think this song is about living and not having regrets.
"Drinkin wine and thinkin bliss is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head cascading up and down again
Up and down around again, down and up and down again"
She's not sure where she's going but it doesn't matter because everything will work out in the end.
"The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball"
represents how the future isn't 'set in stone' or a sure thing but not fearing the unknown but learning to accept it as we may not be here tomorrow.
"Sometimes you think everything is wrapped inside a diamond ring"
represents a spouse or engagement partner who is everything to you.
"Love just needs a witness, and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience, and a less sporadic pace, "
conveys the effort that love takes but how worth it it is when you are willing to work at a relationship.
In the lines
"Irony, irony is hating love, hating love
For what it does to me, what it’s done to me
What it’s done, done"
P!nk explains how she can't hate love for what it's done to her because that would be ironic as the love that hurt her has made her who it is today.
Anyway that's just my take on the song, this is by far my favorite on the whole Funhouse album.
I agree with most of your interpretation, but the irony part. The lyrics are "this hate and love" not hating love. I think this totally changes the meaning. I've been married 34 years and the irony is that at times you really hate the person you love.
