The first stanza starts with a recollection of a happy moment of dancing under the starlight with a sense of invincibility and an overwhelming feeling of being in love. However, the storm represents the challenges that the couple eventually faced, which brought feelings of vulnerability, destructibility, and loneliness.
The second stanza shifts to a more intense moment of the relationship, where the partner is screaming with fire in their eyes, and the singer feels breakable and defeated. Despite wanting to fight against the situation, the singer feels uncertain they will survive, further emphasizing their vulnerability and destructibility. The chorus sums up the contradiction in their feelings towards their partner, who is both a beautiful broken dream that they cannot let go of and a demon inside of them that destroys their attempts to move forward.
