Is 'a riddle of her heart' a metaphor?

Is 'a riddle of her heart' a metaphor? What does it mean?

Roxette's "Vulnerable," a hit song in mid-90's, contains the following lines:

...as darkness falls, this true love falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart.

...just as nighttime falls, this vision falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart.

I can't understand ' a riddle of her heart'? It's a metaphor, right? What does it mean? Please enlighten me.
