What Else is There? Lyrics

What Else Is There
It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Roads end getting nearer
We cover...

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about the man she loves and who left her and who killed her with that decision.
    Now she is destined to wander around like a ghost, not being able to take part in her own life, because she is dead and empty inside and she can only look at the things around her without feeling anything, she is disconnected from this world and very restless because she is sad and miserable and unable to accept things like they are.
    There is a storm and chaos and disbelief inside of her, this is a nightmare to her.
    The milk in the video is blood running down from her body, she is bleeding and hurting, but it's hidden by her clothes.
    Maybe he is even haunted by her, because he decided to kill her (as his love) and left her by herself, so she is even a ghost to him.
    The car accident is the encounter with him, they met and fell in love, this happened fast and with lots of emotions. but he didn't want to continue so he ran her over (killing her inside) there were explosions and lights (intense feelings) and then he left because he wasn't able to see her, to see who she is, she was in the dark without lights.
    So now they are living separate lives but she is still stuck in her situation because she cannot get over the fact that he killed her and left her. There is no room where she can go to means that she can't escape this feeling, she has to keep wandering around outside and cannot rest (inside) it also means she tries to run away from this sad truth.
    He has secrets too means that he probably loves her too but cannot show her. so that is his secret and she knows it but she also knows that she can't do anything about it because he already left her and she's alone but it also means that she has to keep wondering even more because she knows he loves her too but still decided to leave her alone and that it's impossible for her to get over this, knowing that he loves her too and she doesn't understand why all this is happening to her.
    The question 'What else is there' is a rhetorical question, it means there is nothing else, no alternative for her, this is all she knows and will know. When she says she was only given one wish, it means that it was not her own wish to love him (since we cannot chose who we love) and to live this way but that life had this plan for her and that she was only given this wish, and no other wish, so again, there is no alternative for her.
    When she says 'its about you and the sun' it means that he and the sun belong together in her view, because he brings life to her, when he is there, then there is life and warmth and love. And that's what she aches for.

    I read this interpretation elsewhere and agree. It seems to be about a woman who was in a hit and run accident while on a morning run in the dark.
    "It was me on that road
    Still you couldn't see me
    And then flashlights and explosions"
    Comes back to haunt diver after given just one wish?
