The lyrics leave the ending open, but the music gives it away I think. There's a morbid suspense in the music. Like something 'bad' has happened to the narrator. The voice is quite breakable, as if she's a mood of contemplation and accepted her grim destiny. The 'you' in the story is maybe her killer. Because eventhough it's an open ending, what the lyrics don't tell is said by the music. The answer is in the music this time, not in the lyrics...
@carenp26 The working title for the song, before it was properly titled, was Swedish for 'The Suffering Bird' not an actual bird, but a lady, and she's a suffering woman. So the song is really just a metaphor. The whole thing is a metaphor. The lyrics are basically just grounding the plot into some kind of connectivity to life as most people know it. But the song itself is supposed to invoke feelings and ideas, and things deep down inside the listener.
