I cried at the end. But now I've seen it, it has changed my view. They said Meg was only crying because it was the 10th anniversary of the band so emotions were high anyway. I can't tell whether I now think it's about Meg because that last scene just makes it look that way or if it's because that scene made the meaning more obvious. But I also think it might totally not be about Meg.
A lot of stuff happened to Jack and because of Jack in Detroit around 2004-5 period that made him lose his friends, and thats bound to have affected Meg as well because she stuck by him. I'm not gonna go into what happened because there's enough horrible and vicious online conversations and rumours surrounding this if you know where to look, and I have respect for Jack so I don't want to add to that.
If it is about Meg, and she is the White Moon, maybe this song has an air of regret about it because he wishes things could've been different (I promised I wouldn't lead her on). But honestly I think this is cryptic in that it could be about Meg or it could be absolutely nothing to do with Meg and this is just a subtle form of Jack's web spinning around their relationship.
One idea I just had though is that when it says "My nose keeps on bleeding, cos it's Rita I'm needing" could be about using cocaine to try and distract himself from the pain of not being able to have the person he loves. I have no idea if this is true though.
I feel guilty about my half mention of what happened before this album was made so I'll give you one little clue in Tracee Mae Miller, who sort of looks like Rita Hayworth.
