'Life goes on, it gets so heavy.' The now teenage girl lives by herself and with her parents possibly deceased, has a lot of mortgage to pay off and gives her depression. And now in the second verse, 'and the bullets catch in her teeth' might show that in her perfect world, she was invincible and that nothing could stop her. 'So she ran away in her sleep, and dreamed of para- para- paradise, every time she closed her eyes.' The little girl now despises her life, and so takes limbo in her dreams and thinks about her perfect life when she was younger. 'But it flew away from her reach' meaning that as she got older, her parents expected her to be mature and start working for herself, and she starts to struggle, with all her dreams falling apart. She expected the world to be a fairytale where she would live in a grand castle and marry her Prince Charming. This could have been from her parents being kind and loving to her. In the first verse, 'when she was just a girl, she expected the world' shows that when the little girl was young, she saw life as being perfect.

My interpretation is more straightforward than the other ones but here goes.
