I think this is about a member of a cult who realizes that it is wrong and tries to escape. That's all I think of when I hear this song. I always picture a child telling her friend about her plans to escape and asking her if she will remember her-
If I try to get away
How long until I'm free
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?
The first two lines seem to hint that even if she does escape, the memory will always be with her. The third line suggests that she will come back to rescue her friend, but she may not be able to.
The girl feels alone even though this cult is the only "home" she's ever known-
It's safe to say I'm lonely now
A place called home
All the little children of the cult know that it is wrong but don't speak up about it for fear of what will happen if they do. The other kids try to keep the girl from running away because they are scared she will not be able to survive in the real world-
Begging me to stay
Apologies all left unsaid
Secrets better left unspoken
Dreams are slowly put to bed
Rumors stirred and reawoken
The last line probably hints at the recurring talking about escaping.
The chief members of the cult keep her from escaping by force, telling her that the cult is not wrong-
Can't forget the sound
A thousand voices call my name
A thousand hands that
Pull me back down to the ground
All the time the girl has grown up she has looked up to the adults, but now she realizes how wrong they were-
I turn away from what you are
Denying all that you have given
I find a place that's safe and far
In time all will be forgiven
