Surprised this song doesn't have any interpretations on it yet

To me it seems to be a story of love.

"Well I knew what I didn't want to know And I saw where I didn't want to go So I took the path less travelled on And I'll let my stories be whispered when I'm gone..."

I think the first verse is about breaking up with her ex. She knew she didn't want to be in the relationship so she broke up because she would rather people gossip about her than be trapped in a relationship that wasn't right.

Well in this life, you must find something to live for 'Cause when the darkness comes calling You go back to where you were before 'Cause this life is as fragile as a dream And nothing's ever really as it seems...

She is still broken up about losing the person as a friend and she feels that she isn't good enough for anyone. But she moves on and finds someone knew. Someone that can save her from the darkness and stop her from feeling sad about her mistakes.

Well I lost my innocence when in I let him dive But the way he looked at me made me feel alive And now I know nothing at all But the release that comes when you're in mid fall...

Because she doesn't feel she deserves anyone, she shouldn't allow anyone to fall (dive) in love with her so feels like she is breaking the rules (losing her innocence) in doing so. But in letting him fall for her, she begins to fall for him and this shows her the joy she has been looking for (the joy of falling in love)

But that is just my opinion.

Also, I don't know why but the lyrics somehow remind me of "Northern Skies" by I Am Kloot.

My Interpretation

So to paraphrase. I reckon this song is a message.

"Don't be afraid to be honest and do what is right for you. Don't try to run away or hide from yourself. Don't be afraid to be yourself. And when you find something worthwhile, don't be afraid to let yourself have it. Fight for what you want now before it is too late and gone for good."
