When I first heard this song, I thought of a kid who's faking being sick because she's being bullied at school and wants an excuse not to go:
"Embrace the silence... taken all that you wanted"
You've beaten me down to nothing, so now I won't be there for you to pick on.
"Hold on, little girl, the end is soon to come"
She's about to graduate, but she still feels like a little child. She's reminding herself that her suffering will soon end after graduation.
"We will not follow"
She's done with following trends in the hopes that people will accept her.
"They don't understand how sick we are of this bottomless pit of lies behind closed eyes"
'They' refers to her parents. She doesn't tell them about the bullying and even lies about her school life to try and hide her pain, so all of it is hidden behind her closed eyes when she goes to sleep at night.
"Oceans between us"
She's isolated, either physically or mentally, from anyone who could be considered a friend. Possibly she moved away from all her friends.
"I can still taste the poison of every thought, every breath I wasted here"
She feels her time at that school was wasted because she was so miserable, and she wants to forget it all, but the memory of those years will haunt her forever.
"Someday you'll know the pain; someday the light will break through, and nothing you tell yourself will save us from the truth"
To her bullies: Someday someone will treat you as badly as you treated me, and you'll realize how much you hurt me. Whatever justification you used for bullying me (I wasn't popular enough, wasn't pretty enough, you didn't like me, etc.) doesn't change what you did or make it any better.
