It appears to be a song about depression.

"imprisoned, inside this mind hiding behind the empty smiles"

This states a sign of depression. People with depression ususally put on 'fake smiles' to hide the fact that they are feeling down so people won't bother them about what's up with them.

"Running, Always running into the distance Stop me, Before I bleed again"

This could be the person always running away from their problems and trying to hide them, yet at the same time, they hope to find help.

"the echos of my voice follow me down the shadows I cast follow me down"

The individual is alone and their depression, or even regrets or mistakes, follow him/her around like a shadow.

"there must be serenity"

They hope someday they will feel happier about themselves, and the pain or depression will fade a way and become a better person.
