I've liked this song for a while but only feel compelled to post about the meaning now because it totally applies to my life haha.
The first verse is setting the listener up for the situation. The speaker of the song, I'll just name him as Matt, met a woman under the said "false pretenses." She promised him more than he was going to get and he definitely wants more from her. He can't seem to get over her. Then, he goes onto say "you set my soul alight" which is pretty obvious in meaning.
A glacier melting in the dead of night/superstar getting sucked into a supermassive black hole are both actions where a victim is undergoing inevitable circumstances. The glacier is melting, reserves are melting, lines are getting blurred, inhibitions drop. The superstar getting sucked into the supermassive black hole represents Matt getting sucked in by this girl. She's the black hole; nothing can escape her, not even light.
The second verse is calling her superficial, saying he's a fool for her. He knows she's no good for him, but he still gets sucked in by her, hoping that on day the truth will come out and that she'll honestly want him.
bingo! i was hoping to find an interpretation like yours, through all the comments :)
couldn't agree with you more...
Matt is the superstar (irl), getting sucked into a supermassive blackhole (that is the lusty charms of an average woman)
