As a queer person I see this song very different, for me the hopeless place is our current society in which homosexuality is not always acceptable. I have recently fallen for a guy and the pressures put on us that heterosexual couples don't have to face can be daunting. "We found love in a hopeless place" has rang true to my feelings since the moment I heard it, the constant strain put on our relationship because of the trials and tribulations we as a homosexual couple have to face can feel very hopeless at times. Watching all the heterosexuals walk through the mall holding hands and we can't without people watching us or calling us names is rather unfortunate.
I'm glad that someone's looked at this song from a different perspective. This sounds completely different to your theory but does relate, so hear me out.

I'm a bit of a conspiracy nutter - and I never think a mainstream artist would release a song without a hidden meaning.

Originally, I didn't even know yellow diamonds existed! So I Googled it and got some information. They are yellow because of natural chemical impurities, and they look yellow because they absorb every other colour but reflect yellow. Thus, 'yellow diomonds in the light' and 'love and life I will divide' sounds like she is casting out love from her life because it doesn't fit in with society. In 1984 by George Orwell the emotion love is cast out completely.
So ... you get my gist. Much the same way as it could be about homosexuals possibly detatching theirself from their love because some of society doesn't accept it.
I'd just like to add that I love everyone on this planet regardless of gender, sexuality, race, culture, religion, financial background etc. I think it's a shame that anyone is otherwise.

Reminds me of Carl Jung's concept about one's Shadow. The side of our personality which we do not consciously display in public. May have positive or negative qualities. Society has made it seem as if we are wrong to think of anything forbidden even though we all have a "darker side" to us.

Crossing ones shadow = connection of two shadows that seem to pass on subliminal messages thus making it alive. Since I'm have not fully 'outed' in this world, I have experienced something like this with a girl I suspected having the same boat as I do.

While coming "out" will never be fully done in a persons life time, until the idea of having to come out isn't even around, because you are always meeting new people. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
