I agree this song seems as though it is about rape.
magicman7 nailed alot of what I had thought.
"I thought of linen and of lace"
I immediately thought of linen and lace as meaning purity (linen is considered a pure fabric). Meaning possibly virginity?
"I felt the sun
I saw the moon
I saw the northern light above
and the eclipse of the sun"
The feeling of the sun may refer to a burning sensation, rape is hardly delicate. 'Seeing the moon' probably refers to it being night. 'The northern light above', a little more vague to me. Could mean the north star, or perhaps just a light in the room, or streetlight. 'The eclipse of the sun' I took to mean she shut her eyes.
"I am a breath
I am a wish"
I figure this could be her thoughts. She is holding her breath waiting for this moment to pass. 'I am a wish' could be a more desperate thought, literally wishing for the moment to pass.
"I am a rocket
And a fish"
Possibly the thought of being anywhere but here. The rocket being the highest height and the fish the lowest. Could also mean her mind being strong, but her body being weak.
Mind you, that's just my take on some of the verses. It is of course, all speculation ;]
