Who is Hey Jupiter?

A lot of people ask who this character of Jupiter is.She comes from a Tori Amos song called "Hey Jupiter"and here is who I think she is,based on the song and the music video for the song.I think the burning building signifies the girl in the videos life and the little girl who rescues the girl signifies the girls past life and who she used to be. The girl has got to the bottom of the hole shes in and has given up on herself.She has waited and waited for someone else to come along and save her from herself.She is so fed up of waiting that she has lost all hope and dosnt care anymore.But then at the end of the video when the little girl appears,she finally remembers the promise she made to herself so long ago-not to give up on herself.She realizes that in order for others to help her, she has to make the first move towards getting herself out.She finally realizes at the end that in fact, people have been trying to rescue her, but she has not noticed as she was so far in to her hole.
