The idea that this is about Oh Land's dancing career is very possible but I believe that the song is about a psychological disorder such as anorexia. Many victims of anorexia identify it as a human named "Ana".
Many believe that "bones are pure" and that bones are what matters. The line "Bones are only parchment paper" may mean that once you get thin, you become weak like parchment paper and there is nothing beyond becoming weak. There is no reward at the end on the maze.
Choices don't care to be chosen may be about people not caring about what's going on. The character feels as if they're being left behind.
"The legs don't walk" may be about not being able to function as you normally do due to the lack of nutrition.
"Water is boiling hot" means that it is almost too late.
The whole song may be about someone realizing they have a problem and that they need help now.
