To me this song is about a girl who committed suicide because she feels that it just won't get better and everytime she tries to break out of the life she feels trapped in, she gets knocked back down. I also think that it says he feels the exact same way as she did; and since her death, he realizes what he needs to do to make the change happen, but isn't really doing anything about it. The lines about me and cinderella i think say that even though it isn't perfect, it is still functional.
