Grimes really hit the ball out of the park with this song. Anyway, I think it's just about the general vulnerability of being with someone from her perspective. Maye "break bread with an infidel and plunge into the dark" means that as a feminist, she's still going into relationships with Men, maybe even Men whose ideals differ from hers, but I could be misinterpreting.
The rest of the lyrics tend to hint towards being forced to accept reality. It can hit hard and feel like landing on a cold hard surface, when it used to seem both less and more intimidating from a child's perspective. Either way, she will be remembered for this song, it's a classic.
