Honestly, this song is amazing. One of my favourites. I heard it live and that was one of the single best experiences of my life.
I don't have too much input with the meaning of the song, however. I think (emphasis on think) it's mainly about pursuing through manipulation and toxicity in a relationship in the hopes that the person will recognise the errors of their ways and return to how they once were. The final verses of the song talk about their relationship (the rose) only being able to thrive amongst the toxicity of the speaker's partner's behaviour(the dark).
I used this song for a project in high school where you had to make a soundtrack for Romeo & Juliet, and made the female figure mentioned in this song to be not Juliet, but the hostility and conflict between their families and how their relationship would never have been publicly accepted should they have announced it before their demise. I thought it applied and gave good insight. I don't really know.
Just here to compliment the song and give my own loose interpretation.
