This is surely about Katniss and Peeta. I feel it spans all three books, but mostly The Hunger Games and Mockingjay.
The first para is from Peeta's POV. This is suitable for The Hunger Games.
You say you know love, but you are just reflecting words you hear - Peeta really believed Katniss loved him but found out it was all only an act. She was simply echoing his love.
No iron in your veins to give you any sense of pain or fear - Since she was only pretending to be in love with him, he feels she has no real emotion at all and doesn't really bother about his feelings.
It's just another lie, it's just another calculation - He feels her love was a lie, another tactic she used to win sponsors. Literally a carefully planned and calculated move.
And when the power's out, we're just another old sensation - Without all the 'star-crossed lovers' drama, it's just another publicity stunt.
The second para is from Katniss' POV. This is closer to Mockingjay (ya, it seems to jump around a lot without a definite order). This is when Peeta has been hijacked and how Katniss feels about it all.
This blood keeps me alive, but what is it that runs through you / Electricity and wires, dictating everything you do - Like how blood runs through our bodies and keeps us alive and healthy, Katniss feels that since the they are trying to bring back Peeta's memories, it's just all the wires connected to him that's keeping him sane and alive.
You tell me that you hear me and all your memories are real,
But how do I know you don't just feel what you've been told to feel? - Even though people keep telling Katniss that Peeta's condition is improving, she believes that everything he feels and knows is only the result of information he is being told and fed, nothing on his own.
The above two lines can be interpreted from Peeta's POV too (again pertaining to The Hunger Games. Yes, I know it's a little jumpy!). Peeta feels that even though Katniss tries to convince him, she is only acting in love because she's been told to.
We run around the rules,
We run around the rules,
We run around the rules,
Round and round, two by two, we run around the rules - They have to play by the rules of the Games. 'Two by two' refers to the rule created in Katniss and Peeta's first Games that two tributes from the same district can become victors.
The fourth para is again from Katniss' POV concerning Peeta, the first two lines about her false love and the second two about his hijacking. (Yes, I know, it's kinda jumbled up, but that's how I'm making sense of it.)
There's water in your eyes and I know I'm the reason that it's there - Katniss knows that she is the reason why Peeta is upset. She knows she hurt him when she lied to him about loving him.
But still I don't feel bad because I know that you have more to spare - Katniss doesn't feel too bad about it though, because she feels it was taken for granted that she also loves Peeta, when she did not.
And just behind your eyes are switches that can turn back on - Referring to the tracker jacker venom used to distort Peeta's memories.
To clear away today 'til all your memories are gone - The extremely strong dosage of the venom given to Peeta washed out his memories and completely changed the way he perceived things.
Once again, I know my interpretation is really jumpy between the first and last books, but this is only my interpretation. There are others which may or may not make more sense. But I hop this helped anyways! Comments and opinions will be appreciated! Thanks!
