At first I thought it was about a relationship / the loss of a loved one that the subject of the song regrets losing so much and inwardly feels bitter "I am selfish and not worthy... to think of, even die for". However, it seems to be a bit of a riddle. The part "So do you know the way I feel, or should I give up my belief? / You're the lock I've never opened, 'cause I threw away the key / I'm enclosed within my own thoughts / That will never set me free". This part seems to say that rather than a relationship, she's held on to a way of thinking and another way of thinking is becoming apparent to (her)and she feels like all this time she's been lost in her own thoughts betraying it. Hence "Reality's sometimes stranger than fiction" describes her confusion at how the rest of the world seems to be understanding and evolving something she never morally agreed with. However, as soon as the line "Serenity is taking over all I am", there is a change of perspective: she has gotten over her suffering to the fact in her mind that she has betrayed others' beliefs and now she realizes she has only been suffering because of what society/the world impresses on her as righteous. She realizes against popular opinion the "belief" she always rejected has caused treachery and therefore is not just. In the end she is just helpless anyway because she is alone in her beliefs because they're so damn vague lol j/k. The point is being a martyr for your beliefs against society when society's beliefs are clearly corrupt and are harming rather than helping the world.
