I think that this song is about using your past experiences and memories to make choices in the present (the beat and sounds certainly suggest things whizzing past in memory and time being distorted).
"I'm motioning still they stand inside me" - time is marching by as she is waiting and thinking about the choice she should make, with her experience guiding her.
"Colourless I kiss her cold forehead I feel life, lose it in a minute" - one of the memories, dreamt nostalgically in black and white (maybe something to do with a death?), before that memory flicks by and is replaced by another.
"People concertina into my private magic lantern" - All the people she has known squeeze into her past and guide her like a lantern into her future.

At least, this has always been my interpretation.
