The first verse describes how her life is missing all the elements of a fairy tale, a fantasy.
The references are: “Wishing well”: Self explanatory
“Mirror to show and tell”: “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”
“Kiss to break the spell”: Sleeping Beauty
The second verse speculates that all romantic interests are fantasies (the idea that a Prince will come to our rescue), and that in reality she is the witch(the antagonist in the story).
The Chorus seems to be an allusion to the fact that we move through life aimlessly and without meaning.
The 3rd verse refers to the Cinderella fantasy and that it never comes true and that we always expect it to and are disappointed when it does not. There is no one to blame but ourselves for believing in this fantasy.
The 4th verse implies that everyone is waiting for someone, something to fulfill or complete them.
The 2nd Chorus carries the same meaning as the first.
The final bridge/climax of the singer suggests that it’s better to pretend that there is meaning in our actions than to recognize and live with the fact that nothing matters. The singer clearly recognizes their position but consents to continue the illusion for the sake of their own fantasies and delusions.
