well i think the meaning of the song is obvious, but i enjoy explaining what i've taken from the song anyway :D
so i'm guessing this must be the Victorian era or earlier because i interpret this as a girl who was forced into a miserable marriage, as was often the case in those days, and wants an escape.
so it's her wedding day. seems to me that they already said their vows and now it's the reception and in the distance, she can see fangyboy beckoning. she's miserable and hates what she just did, vowing herself to someone she doesn't love, so she comes to him where he lures her in and tells her pretty things such as "you'll never grow old if you join me" and probably other things not mentioned in the song. she's enthralled and lets him take her. she's no longer pure and no longer dressed in white.
in my imagination, she is now going to wed this vampire and she all of a sudden is in a different dress and her bride's bouquet has a mandrake. i imagine everything around her changing, including atmosphere. things are becoming frightening. she now realizes what she's done, hence the line "i think i've been fooled" and she's realizing she pledged herself to this powerful being and things are not as pretty as they once seemed. she's scared and having 2nd thoughts....but it's too late.
but at the same time, she would never want to go back to what was waiting for her before this mysterious man came. so it seems she's torn between wanting to be away from the old life but at the same time, still fearing her new life. but it doesn't matter anyway. she's past the point of no return.
now she's dependent on this vampire and "need[s him] near [her]" and still has a bit of optimism about this enchanting but fearsome situation
