Okay, just throwing this out there, not saying it's right or wrong. Just something I was thinking about whilst listening to it for the 100th time because I love this band to death.
Do you think she is speaking about the disappointment of fantasy not being real, and as she says "hot frozen teardrops fall and melt into the ink" she is talking about a moment frozen, captured in a story and her longing for that melts into the ink on the pages. "When I call you won't come running" because they're not real? That, or she could be reflecting on letters from the past, or a memory that is frozen in her head. She also says "now a dark spectre to me" which perhaps implies she is thinking about a deceased person and they are frozen in a form of ink, be it a letter or something like I mentioned above. I don't know, just something I was thinking about.
