When I first heard this song, the first image that popped into my head was a little girl in an insane asylum. From a first person perspective, it first described the room she's trapped in, and when the staff of the asylum comes in, she suddenly lashes out at them. But then, the last part had me utterly stumped.
Then, I heard it's about a little girl who was locked in a room for half a decade by her grandmother. Now it makes sense-again, it starts out describing the room by the little girl who's trapped in it, and in the middle part, The police/social workers storm the house and free the girl, but she's been alone in the room for so long that she lashes out at them in a mad rage. They manage to get her out, and now "time has passed" and the girl sees what she's lived through. The last part is the girl talking to her grandma, who is now in an insane asylum.
