I might be way off base here, but there are bits of this that sounds like the narrator is arguing with/berating god
"pick up your rope, Lord
sling it to me
if we are to battle, I must not be weak
and give us your strength, Lord
our food and your water
oh, I am your savior
your last serving daughter"
It does sound like it could be. Wiki says that she's agnostic, and if she is, it would tie in with the first half of the first verse "There is a man that I know/Seventeen years, he never spoke./Guessed he had nothing to say/he opened his mouth on judgement day".

her father is the most important person in her life. he taught her how to play guitar and when she is live she goes on and on about him so i don't think she has an estranged father. goodbye england is actually about her father, the first part that is.

mm-hmm. she does say here that it's not about her dad, but instead about "confusion... and humanity": youtu.be/hDXpdV-PAq8

the first time i heard this it seemed that it was obviously about the relationship with her estranged father and an attempted reconciliation.
