The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Another Day" by the artist "Within Temptation"

In Within Temptation's song "Another Day," the lyrical heroine experiences the painful departure of her beloved. She acknowledges the inevitability of the separation ("I know you're leaving") but her feelings are still too strong to let him go completely.

The phrase "I'll leave my love for another day" (literally "carry my love over") suggests that the heroine is not ready to immediately cope with the loss. She postpones the moment of complete acceptance, giving herself time to say goodbye.

Her thoughts are still occupied with the image of her beloved ("You're on my mind"), she clings to memories of him ("I fell for your ways, your attitude"). However, his departure causes her pain and confusion ("Leading my heart into confusion"), leaving behind a void ("Leaving a gap in my heart and soul").

Despite the distance, the heroine feels that her beloved is not free ("I feel you're surrounded by walls"). Perhaps this refers to internal barriers that prevent him from being with her. She recognizes his independence ("I know you're on your own"), but still hopes to find a way to him ("trying to find a way to reach you").

In the final lines of the song, the heroine seems to be addressing her departed lover, reminding him that he is responsible for his own decisions and their consequences ("Don't you know it all depends on you?").
