As much as I've enjoyed this song, I hadn't really thought about the lyrics until now.
A woman has been long mistreated in her relationship and the anger is only now about to blow up in an explosive outburst. She's gotten very drunk; "roll me home" is a joking reference as to how you may deal with someone who's very drunk.
Why Crater Lake? A huge mountain in prehistoric times exploded in an incredibly violent volcanic explosion, blowing off a mile of its height, with the rest slumping into a huge crater that later filled up with water. That's Crater Lake today. And that explosion is what she's likening her anger to.
I'm not sure of all the reasons why she mentioned the Moon; there are plenty of craters there. When she says that a crater has a good view, she's thinking about being there, isolated, instead of here on Earth in her painful relationship.
