Here is the my break down of MY interpretation of this song and how it speaks to MY soul. Sometimes I think too deep.
The compass and willing accomplice is about a new relationship and the euphoria of falling for that person and then the unbearable fear of being hurt yet once again.
The fountain filled with pennies, to me, is about looking for that one person in life who is genuine, accepting, has unconditional love and a healthy view of understanding and compassion as well as good communication.
The fortune teller is about the past experiences saying its always going to be the same and love (relationships) will continue to bring pain and suffering.
The crack in the crystal ball is the future and the inability to predict what will happen. So no fear. Just move forward and risk vulnerability.
The everything in diamond ring verse is about waiting to be married to give all of yourself because that's what moral and right. But eventually there is a struggle within that relationship and it is not what you thought it would be. But that mistake is something you couldn't have known going in and you gave it your all anyway. But in the end the marriage dissolves, the pain is overwhelming. However, that pain has helped you grow to be a better person. More loving, more understanding, more giving. So in the end it was worth it because you grew as a person.
The irony is, you loved that person from your past and when the relationship ended it lead to a loss of what you thought life was going to be. This created doubt about true love after being so vulnerable and being hurt.
BUT, you still believe in fate and continue to look for that special someone who is as passionate about life as you are and you continue to toss pennies in the fountain of hope. Someone who embodies goodness. Someone who embraces you for all that you are. And that, after all, is not superstitious. You are again willing to be vulnerable and risk your heart being broken. (hell).
So fear has to be tossed and vulnerability has to be present. As there is no way to predict the future. (Crack in crystal ball)
