I think this is about walking away from somebody or something who has held you captive for a long period of time.
"A light shines off
In the distance
A pale flickering glow
How many times
Do I have to dream
That I could be there
The time is here
And she won't be
Waiting for me
To find the easy way out
I've lost count of the days
That were wasted"
The light off in the distance represents happiness and freedom.. and how often she longed to achieve it. She knows she needs to stop looking at the "days that were wasted" and focus on the future.
"I float on the streets
That are empty
Take the path
That the wind only knows
Tonight is the last time
That I'll ever be here"
She knows that the road to happiness won't be easy.. no one knows what the future holds and thats scary. But this is the last time that she is going to remain captive.
"It's never quite simple
It's never that safe
It never seems perfect
Until it's too late
It's never the right time
To find a new way"
Again she knows that the road to freedom is not going to be easy. Its unpredictable. Even though she has been unhappy for so long at least she knew that it was safe and that it woudl always be the same. Its never going to be a good time to be brave and "walk away"
"There's an answer
In the sound of a train
There is wisdom
Past the bridge on the bay
There's a lifetime
Through the fog
In the rain
There's a beauty
In walking away "
She knows that something great waits for her. The train and the bridge represent the road she has ahead and the great things that lie beyond the road. Through the fog and the rain again represent hard times to come but she knows that moving on with her life holds beautiful things. "there is beauty in walking away."
