I think there's a couple of mistakes here...
"the walls that once defined me" = "the walls that once confined me"
"Ask yourself what's just under my skin" = "Ash still simmers just under my skin"
"A different smile again" = "Indifferent smile's again"
"Your need time make no change" = "Erily time made no change"
"Dug my grace" = "Dug my grave"
This is one of my favorites of the new album
I think it's about two people. Whatever the connection the two people had, something happened that hurt the 'I' in the song or he feels bad about something that happened. I think a key part of the song are the first two lines. The 'walls ONCE confined' him yet he still knows that he'll be 'underneath them when they crumble'. So, what I get is that he was in a situation (maybe an addiction, or some a struggle) and he wanted to get out of it but the 'walls' were confining him. Now that the 'door' or whatever is opened and the walls aren't confining him anymore, something is still holding back. I think that it's the memories of what happened because the 'scars' of what he did to try to get out of it still remind him. The ashes part tells me that this was a recent event because the 'ashes still simmer'. Now the indifference smile's again I'm not sure about, but he says 'so much i hide'so i think that he's holding all the emotion in and just smiling to get by. However, just hiding and not doing anything isn't a 'step forward' to solving you problems but is rather a 'step back'. The chorus is saying that the other person acts different all the time so he doesn't know what to think. 'Broken mirrors paint the floor' means that if there's mirrors all over the floor, the person can't avoid seeing themselves and seeing what the 'singer' sees in them. He's asking whch personality is the real one. Time usually heals wounds but apparently, nothing happened hear and this other person kept lying and deceiving and then acting like a good person. But the singer was 'standing' there for him for the other persons benefit.
That's what I get out of it. Tell me whatcha think.
