It's a song about a child who is saved from suicide. Here's how I came to this point.
The beginning of the song shows me a small girl within a home, a dagger resting over her heart. She prepares to bring it down, but just as the song begins to use the instruments the angelic figure (which is the second voice in the song) comes in and rests a hand over the girl's hands, and tells her to come meet her at a lake in the night.
Curious, the girl agrees and at nightfall she follows the sound of the song (or the memory of it) to a simple lake. She sees the angelic creature again, who literally gives the girl a temporary paradise to escape the world's horrors.
During this time the girl becomes one with the world, nature and its creatures, learning of it and finding that there are still some things in the world worth living for. The angelic creature literally has given the girl a night of rest and peace, one night to simply decide on the world and see if it is worth living for. And whether the girl decides to live or die, either way the angel gives her the rest she wants.
