"Everyone" is a song about a person who is constantly seeking independence and freedom, but ultimately feels trapped and constrained by societal expectations. The song starts with the protagonist going against what everyone else is saying and choosing a path that others discourage her from taking. She invites the darkness in, but it does not want her yet. This could metaphorically represent her desire to explore a different, unconventional path or state of mind.
