This song... well, first and foremost, if you aren't listening to the acoustic version, you're doing it wrong in my opinion. You don't her the emotions in her voice quite like you do in the original.
It's a story of losing yourself, losing who you are, who you want to be. It's feeling helpless and needing someone to be there, to fix what's broken. It's so beautifully vague that I find whenever I'm in a dark place, for whatever reason, this song articulates my situation and emotions perfectly.
Just imagine the state Lights was in to write this song. Her struggles were so great that she couldn't help herself anymore, and I imagine that there was no one to be her savior. The only she could do was write this song, perhaps with no one specifically in mind, calling out into an abyss for a heavy rope that might not even exist.
