Marvel Hill isn't a place, it's more of an achievement for the person in this song. Or at least, they can see that it's supposed to be an achievement, even if they don't feel that way.

Sounds like a famous person, right? Maybe even someone in a relatively obscure Swedish band that just blew up in the US a few years before this? Listen to Nina's droning, exhausted vocals that only pick up when the end of the song is in sight. The plodding, mechanical beat, the sour guitar notes, the angelic chorus backing up Nina in the final verse that almost sounds like it could be suggesting an ascension of some sort. The song also has a few spots where you expect the song to end, only for it to restart that weary march-like beat all over again.
Their success is too good to be true, their fame is too good to ignore, but maybe they didn't get into it for money and fame, and they're wondering now if this is how their career and life has to be.
Everyone saying it’s about cheating but I always thought it was about a guy who’s girlfriend was a heroin addiction and the guy he wants to bear up is her dealer and the little black backpack is where here drugs were and he took them and threw them away

"Hanging around for another round..." - of drinks.

"Seeing through your eyes/You've offered me to have a try..." - reads like maybe this person has been approached by their friends/family already, regarding their addiction. People who want to help someone with an addiction will often say things like "I wish you could see yourself like I/we do".

"Filters that I use give me an excuse/I take away what's real..." - people with substance abuse problems very often are trying to mask or escape some kind of pain or trauma.
"I wonder what it's like walking by your side, to think before I talk and to move at the same speed as you walk. I want to have a weight to keep me in your state I'm watching from above, I love it but it's not for me" - this entire verse reads like someone in the throes of addiction, and under the influence. They can't walk straight, can't keep pace with their friend, say inappropriate or hurtful things impulsively, and they can't find anything in their own life to anchor them to sobriety (or at least better impulse control), like their friends/family.
Finally, the last two lines of the second verse, and the last line of the chorus - "I'm watching from above, I love it but it's not for me", and "Until something stops me" - indicate that this person does not want to be like this, but they are utterly powerless to stop themselves, and end the destructive cycle.

“It’s about my sister who passed away a couple years ago. When I go through tough things in life I like to put it into a song, once I do I feel like it’s out there and I vented it and I can move on from it. That was my way of moving on from that whole situation. Not just that,...

Most people know how Pompeii was destroyed by clouds of toxic gas and hot volcanic ash in 79AD, but not as many know it was severely damaged by an earthquake in 62AD caused by the same local volcanic activity. If the people of Pompeii had taken the warning in 62AD and moved away, they would have been saved from the devastation of 79AD. But they didn’t, they rebuilt on the rubble of the same situation. Similarly, in our lives, we often don’t take the warnings of potential devastation from our ‘vices’ (our personality characteristics equivalent to the...
Most people know how Pompeii was destroyed by clouds of toxic gas and hot volcanic ash in 79AD, but not as many know it was severely damaged by an earthquake in 62AD caused by the same local volcanic activity. If the people of Pompeii had taken the warning in 62AD and moved away, they would have been saved from the devastation of 79AD. But they didn’t, they rebuilt on the rubble of the same situation. Similarly, in our lives, we often don’t take the warnings of potential devastation from our ‘vices’ (our personality characteristics equivalent to the underlying volcanic activity of Pompeii) and build on the same rubble (staying in the same life situation) while continuing our potentially destructive behaviour (our ‘sins’). The way to save ourselves is to take the warnings and move away, sometimes in a metaphorical sense of changing our personality and way of life, and sometimes also in a physical sense of moving way from people who lead us astray and encourage our self-destructive behaviour.
