I think this song is about being in a sort of argumental deadlock. Dealing with a problematic/complicated relationship slowly breaking apart and how it is dealt with through trying to avoid the truth and singing to block out thinking about it and having to realise and deal with the true state of the situation. Pretending and hoping everything is OK when it's not.
Analysis:
Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm
She flicks a red hot revelation, off the tip of her tongue
It does a dozen somersaults and leaves you supercharged
It makes me wanna blow the candles out just to see if you glow in the dark
First verse, things were already complicated enough she adds insult to injury by saying something which really has a significant effect on him to make him anxious and perhaps energised with disbelief, the last line emphasising on the disbelief of it all as if she could glow in the dark she really would be something completely unbelievable as if she wasn't enough already.
Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet bobby trap
I took the batteries out my mysticism and put'em in my thinking cap
She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall
For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm
I think the first line explains the transition of feeling good for initially being home but soon realising the atmosphere is soon to change a revert to how it truly is and the problematic relationship he needs unfortunately face. The second line emphasises this, hoping it would have changed as if by magic but having to really think it through. The third and fourth are about her ignoring the impending state of the relationship and ignoring him when it all get's too much to deal with and accept.
And in a hellcat spangled cavern, when you're judgement's on the run
And your acting like a stranger, cos you thought it looked like fun
And did you ever get the feeling that these were things she said before
Her steady hands may well have done the devil's pedicure
So what you waiting for?
Sing another fucking shalalalala
I think the first line is about being overwhelmed by it all, the second ignoring eachother because of the unresolved issue at hand.
The 3rd line is about her making promises to change etc. but it's all been said before
The 4th line is wondering what she is actually capable of, she may well be capable of anything and may have done the worst.
The 5th line, is his unwillingness to accept the true state of the relationship and so he resorts to singing another fucking shalalala like always with the frustration of doing so.
