I feel like it's about depression or something like BPD. it's about just feeling like the weight of the world is crushing you. Everything seems harder, nothing feels good ["Lately, nothing passes lightly/ A heavy hand is holding me down/ A breeze is just an unfamiliar sound to me]. And then the chorus is someone remembering/ dwelling on something bad that's happened, or having her depression come back ["It's all coming back to me"], and the character being nervous at what'll happen next (maybe her depression causes her to do things that later on she realizes could have killed her) ["Be still my heart, cause it's all coming back."] And then, because she's all depressed, she finds no meaning in anything anymore, and her apathy causes everyone talks crap about her ["All this meaningless direction feels like it pulls me away/ It's hard to just forget what they say to me."] And then she's back to being depressed. The character in the song needs drugs. Seriously. Good song though.
