I'm a HUGE fan of Sonata Arctica, I have purchased all their known albums to date...and this song stands out, it is very touching in meaning.
It's about a girl who takes things to the extreme because she was bored with her life, which was probably more or less, lonely.
"Leave with the first light, go when you still see the moon. Run for the sunlight, gate is now open for you" - Her last vision in the living world is the beautiful moon outside her window, she dies and sees the light of heaven, which beckons her, the gates of her heaven open.
"Dancing on the path and singing, now you got away" - By killing herself, she feels she took the easy way out of her life.
"You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day" - In her "Better place", she can achieve what she could not in life, whenever she wants.
"There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past" - There is no going back to being alive once she has passed on.
"The Shades of darkness filled her life, In every single corner you can not turn right. Night could pass for a day, in her lack of faith, she let it all fade away. Once more, a cry in the lanterns light?" - She felt her life was too hard because she had to actually work to get somewhere, the part about "In Ever Single Corner you can not turn right" basically means "Life isn't going to be easy, you can't have your way all the time." - So in her frustration, she kills herself to get away from it all. She feels she was overly dramatic and ends herself.
I hope I explained it well, I'm somewhat drowsy. :)
Further reinforcing your theory, (kinda hard to make it any more awesome! XD) At the one part, "Opening a new scar, closing the wounds with a knife", it's talking about how she is cutting herself to commit suicide.
