i kind of agree with teya, but to me, its like she just found out that her lover ahs been a liar and cheated on her or something and like when she says "Paint the black whole blacker," shes saying that everything the guy does now is just making it worse, like he just keeps digging his whole deeper with every apology with flowers or guilt trips and shes not falling for them.

i love this song anyways hahaha she says that she likes to make music thats all nice and pretty, but then there's a dark weird side in them. like a faitytale/nightmare thing happening and i totally see it! GREAT song :D

Song Meaning

I see it as her being pissed and aggravating the situation by doing cruel and impulsive things. She's the one making the black hole blacker.
