First one :D. Easily the best song off the album and makes up for some of the weaker tracks. It's basically the singer reflecting on her relationship as it is at its end.
A supercut: a compilation of a large number of short video clips, typically showing examples of a repeated or clichéd action or phrase in films or broadcasts.
So, in the context of the song, she is looking back on a "supercut" of their relationship, i.e. a stream of memories in her head that play out (as memories often do) as movie clips in her mind. And these clips are usually positive: "all the magic we gave off", "be your violent overnight rush", "make you crazy over my touch", etc. But in the end, it's just a short reel of memories: there's nothing sustainable there. The relationship is over. Her memories are somewhat selective and they highlight the "repeated action" of her being in love.
She clearly distinguishes this "supercut" as being in her mind with the lines:
Cause in my head I do everything right;
When you call I'll forgive and not fight;
Ours are the moments I play in the dark;
We were wild and flourescent come home to my heart.
So in her head she forgives him, but obviously in reality she fought with him; though this is not included in the "supercut" as the supercut depicts their good times. She is idealizing this past time with this guy. When she's alone she replays all the happy times-they were wild and young and she wants him back.
But in the end, it's all just a Supercut, an idelaized image of what really was a failed relationship. Heartbreaking, if you think about it.
