Lyric discussion by Ximena 

I think it's about a girl daydreaming. It's been raining for days and she's bored, so her mind starts to wander. Making her morning coffee/tea, she dazes off, only to be snapped into reality with a cloud of steam to her face.

"And she fights for her life as she puts on her coat And she fights for her life on the train" refers to an action sequence in her daydreams

"Nobody knows" no one knows she's off in her own world while they're living out of the mundane.

She's playing a "winter melody" on her cello when she hears someone at the gate.. "Perhaps a letter with a dove Perhaps a stranger she could love."

I like your interpretation alot. It's alot like mine. But I think that maybe it's about a girl dreaming (while she is sleeping). The lyric "nobody knows" could mean nobody knows about what she dreams, which is true. The music video to the song is part of why I think this could be the "meaning" of the song. Have you seen it? It's stop motion on a bed. It's very, very interesting. You should watch it. Here's a link: connect.tangle.com/view_video.php Anyway, I love your interpretation. Very clever.

Thank you very much. Judging from the comments following mine, I thought everyone found it naïve. I don't dig for deeper meanings in songs; I generally go by the feeling the song gives off. When I originally wrote the comment, there wasn't a video, but even after I watched it, I stuck to my first impressions of the song. :>
