to me, this song seems to be about the death of a loved one from a child's perspective.
"pain from pearls" to me represents the funeral, being all dressed up and feeling uncomfortable while being in pain from greiving
"Hey little girl, how much have you grown?" = relatives making small talk during funeral
"flowers for the one's you've known" - obviously, flowers given to the dead.
"are you on fire from the years, what would you give for your kid fears?" represents the pain that has built up over the years from loss, and longing for the time when the only pain you had was "kid fears" like monsters under the bed
