I take it to be about irrational fears. I think it's also somewhat tongue-in-cheek. She knows her fears are irrational, but cries about them anyway. Like the "If I disappeared..." line, she knows she won't, but thinks about it anyway.

Clever to have a song that isn't about the usual song subjects: love lust, dancing, etc., but night fears... unique.

My Interpretation

And the name of the album is "Barking at Airplanes," a metaphor for irrational fear.
