I posted this on Reddit: "Now whenever I listen to it,I like to think it's from the perspective of someone who is either too insecure or scared of hurting the other person in the relationship,so they do their best to make that person hate them so that they'll leave on their own instead of having to explain their fears. In order to do that,the one who 'poisons' the other tries to think of them as someone they hate and /want/ gone so that it won't hurt so much when they break up."
The first verse describes the moment right as Cry Baby and her boyfriend meet together,and she's preparing to make him want to leave her,"1,2,melatonin is coming for you." The spoiled milk and cookies in the second verse represent the things she says,or the impressions she puts in his mind (that she's crazy). Although it's a terrible thing she wants to do,she's still doing it out of love so that she won't hurt him down the road,"A little bit of sugar,but lots of poison too."
"Ooh,honey,do you want me now?" from the third verse was the line that inspired this interpretation,for obvious reasons. When she says she wants to "put him to bed" where he "dies at the end",she actually wants to erase him from her mind so that she'll forget about him sooner and not have to grieve as long over the destroyed relationship,which is further implied from the first line in the fourth verse,"9,10,never wanna see you again."
She knows she "pulls off black so well" because this is a common occurrence for her. The shit behind the curtain that she doesn't want to sugarcoat anymore is her true nature,or what she believes is her true nature,which is what she wants to spare him from. By doing this so dramatically,she hopes he'll second-guess calling her to try to make things work if he possibly wants to when he's alone to himself thinking about all of this.
Just my take on it,though,because I definitely can't relate to murdering my [nonexistent] kidnapper.
