Oh, it's a beautiful break-free song :) She's stuck in some kind of an internal world, confined within some walls. This might be her outlook on life (e.g. excessive cynicism) or a family situation (e.g. an overprotective mother) or just a state of mind (e.g. low spirits). She's not even aware of how oppressed she is within these walls, in this situation. Then someone comes along and, with his outsider perspective, immediately sees that something is wrong with her and decides to lend her a helping hand. The song is about deciding to break free from the chains preventing you from living, from being happy, from deciding for yourself. It's about your decision to BE rather than to merely exist.
