personally, i think this song is about liking someone a lot and then all of a sudden you're over it ("as if by magic/thoughts of you are gone"). there are some moments where she still has this yearning: ("and in a parallel universe/it's me you can't resist" and the ending part "you say i'm a rose-tinted lover, come on/you know i'll never love another/i won't stay a lonely lover for long")... i also agree with azpoo about how she's a bit delusional and that perhaps everything is in her mind (hence making up "parallel universes" and "my mind keeps playing tricks").
however there are clearly many different opinions on this song. and after all, that's what music is about--interpreting it as how YOU want to interpret it. at least, that's what it is to me.
