One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I think it can be interpreted in a number of ways. One being the suicide angle. On first listen, I do think this song can be interpreted in the same vein as Silence. But it resonates more to me in the context of relationships. I think she speaks of an abusive relationship for majority of the song. She "can't remember why [she] chose to say goodbye" because she still longs for the same relationship that has hurt her so much. She is living in denial, "tried to forget the drowning truth." Her relationship was her life. When she severs the relationship, she finds peace, "life seemed a fair sacrifice for peace." By the end of the song, she has taken a new lover or maybe just a friend. Someone she truly trusts that is there to keep her grounded.

@Jo-elf also, through her trials she becomes wise and eventually learns to give into love/trust again.
