Brian has openly commented on this song. Most of these interpretations of it are correct. Someone having grown up in an abusive environment and how they are in better place now.
Brian has said this song is about wish fulfillment, how he wishes he could go back and help this person through all the stuff they had to go to.
The chorus for the song, although seemingly dark because of the nature of the game "Bloody Mary' is actually according to Brian, about how if he could go back, they could be there for each other and just be kids, playing silly games like Bloody Mary, since this person had to grow up very fast due to the bad environment, and never really had the chance to just be a child
