In the first verse, it's as if the speaker is vowing to protect herself as she changes. And that she will retreat somewhat as she goes through this transformation.
"Mine, you are mine, you are mine to protect. I will watch over you who will suspect Deep in the wood where no one can detect"
In the second verse, she explains how the "curse" has been cast throughout herself. She again decides to protect her self-love and self-respect as she goes through her transformation. Hence...
"Bury my love right deep in the ground
Hide there from watchful eyes all around,
Safe with the treasure that cannot be found"
Essentially, she recognizes her own self-transformation and change and that it is upon her. The "wood" represents this place of transformation
"In the wood something glowing
a burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast
Change is upon us"
Lastly, she tells herself that she's right to be consumed by this change or transformation. In a way, she deserves it and it is the only thing left for her do. She's becoming her own light.
"I know I am right to let you be consumed
I know I am right to let you be consumed by the light"
I think this song is about self-transformation.
