This song is the most raw on her new album. She employs a simple melody and uses vivid lyrics. I think this song is basically her moving on from an unhealthy relationship. In the beginning of the song she is so broken by the break up, or the 'drought', also known as the absence of that person. After a bad relationship, you feel dirty, "like a wine stained dress". The stain isn't easy to get off, just like the memories aren't easy to forget.
And then, ultimately, you go through the storm, or the part where the emotions and pain take over. Suddenly, the storm eventually stops, and you come out of the heartbreak and sadness a new person.
She compares a drug addiction to an addiction to a person. Eventually, after going cold turkey and embracing the storm, you come out anew from the situation. There's temptations to go back to that person because you miss what you thought you had or who they were at the beginning. You find that it's okay to be alone and therefore you're "free" of that person, and finally clean.
