Frozen

Great band I love them and love this song.This along with See Me In Shadow are my favs. I think this is about this one person that won't open his heart to anyone and keeps all the problems to himself bringing a great amount of pain to his life...and the singer is telling him that no matter how long he takes to finally trust her she will always be there for him because she really cares and it hurts to see all the suffering .

I think this song is about our relationship with God especially the chorus and the second verse,He or She is always waiting for us to give him/her an answer and then he/she can act in our life.I may be wrong,but this ie my opinion.See you guys.

I agree with ~Marishka~, I guess that the on;y thing that has to be added, is that this person ignores the help around him, the Answer me-part says that... Further I completely agree:P

i love this song. i agree with what you all have said.. its like the person is hiding something and the singer feels bad that the person wont open up, but she isnt giving up on this person she'll always be waiting for the answer

The feelings these lyrics evoke are exactly what I go through with a close friend of mine, and vice versa for her to me. I love this song. Delain is a fantastic ensemble with such amazing guest-work on this album.

I think her partner has been abused, and she is trying to get them to open up.

Misty windows and empty eyes would imply vacancy that comes with dealing with depressions and anxieties stemming from abuse.

She is desperate to get through and heal before they do something drastic. Places hidden under the skin makes me think of self harm, cutting.
She wants to see the person under the scars, who they where before whatever monster did this came into their life.

She wants and an answer, but informs them regardless she will be their for them. She's got their back even if they are never able to talk about the trauma.

She's hurt when they turn away, not that won't open up to her is a personal affront - but because they are ashamed. She correctly interprets the silence for pain. She knows they are suffering, and just because they aren't vocalizing it, doesn't mean she isn't aware.

Free your mind from doubt, all you have is now. Time will not wait on the abused to heal, so she advises them to try and enjoy their life, free from the abuser.

Free your mind from shame - this was not their fault, and she wants them to stop punishing themselves for the actions of someone else.

That is my interpretation.
