A former member of the rock band Stomp on Melvin, Stirling began releasing videos on Youtube in 2007 and in 2010 competed on "America's Got Talent". Her appearance on "America's Got Talent" gained the attention of cinematographer Devin Graham, with whom she has collaborated on several videos since 2010. Her YouTube channel has become extremely popular and has received upwards of 100 million views.
Stirling was born in Santa Ana, California, but spent a portion of her childhood in Gilbert, Arizona and graduated from Mesquite High School. She moved to Provo, Utah to attend Brigham Young University to study recreational therapy. She went on to perform missionary work in New York City for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Stirling returned home to Provo in 2009 to continue studying at BYU. She resided there until December 2012, when she moved back to Arizona with her family. Currently she lives in Los Angeles, California.
At the age of five, after being influenced by the classical music records played by her father, Stirling began to study the violin. She took private lessons for twelve years. When she was sixteen, she joined a rock band in Mesquite High School with four friends called "Stomp on Melvin". As part of her experience with Stomp on Melvin, Stirling wrote a solo violin rock song, and her performance helped her to win the state title of Arizona's Junior Miss and claim the Spirit Award in the America's Junior Miss Finals competition. Stirling was also a member of Charley Jenkins Band for about a year.
Stirling has released one EP, "Lindsey Stomp" in 2010, along with several singles, including collaborations with Peter Hollens, Eppic and Megan Nicole. Her debut full-length self-titled album "Lindsey Stirling" was released 18th September 2012. In December 2012, YouTube announced that Stirling's song, "Crystallize", was the No. 8 top-viewed video of 2012 with over 42 million views.
On March 12, 2014, Stirling posted a video announcing her second studio album, Shatter Me, would be released in May. She also created a PledgeMusic account where consumers could buy her new album, signed or not, and also exclusive items, such as signed posters, personalized video and even Skype calls with Stirling herself. At the end of the first day, the signed Shatter Me CD was already sold out. On March 25, 2014, Stirling officially released her first single from Shatter Me, entitled "Beyond the Veil", along with its accompanying music video. Their second album Shatter Me was released on April 29, 2014. It is Stirling's first album to include collaborations with other vocalists, featuring Lzzy Hale (from Halestorm) and Dia Frampton, and Stirling has said its musical style is more progressive than her first album. During its pre-sale, the album peaked at number one on the US iTunes electronic charts. On its released in USA the album reached the second position on Billboard 200, making Stirling's biggest sales week of her career. The album peaked on four different Billboard music charts.

My theory is that this song is about breaking free and never giving up hope.
Lindsey is clearly chained down, but thanks to her own strength and music she manages to break free from those chains and walk her own path.
The couple is trapped in a square room with no way out, they lash out and try getting out on their own but they can't find a way, until they start working together to find a solution and a new path opens up.
Finally, the girl of the ring is sorrounded by darkness, with only a beam of light shining on her. She struggles not to fall deeper down, but just when she needs it someone comes to help her out of that darkness and she breaks free as well.
I'd say then Artemis is the one who's helping all of them, giving them hope by bringing back the moon on a city that's constantly covered by the storm.
So breaking free on your own,
Breaking free with someone else,
And breaking free thanks to someone else! That's my theory anyway.

I know I'm 5 months late, but I like this theory.
You can really see how helpless and hopeless they feel. Combined with the music it becomes even better. Their world in which they feel trapped and depressed with no way out... until they manage to get out on their own or with others. I like everything you said. It put my thoughts into words haha. I feel like many people can relate to the characters in the video.
@ginamkrtchyan3065
You're right, I got the sense that Lindsey was trying to say that different people get out of bad situations where they feel trapped in their own way. Some people cope on their own by focusing on their passion, some people confide in a partner to work together, and some need faith in whatever they believe in. I like to think that she was trying to say that no matter how bad the situation is, you need to never lose hope and if something doesn't work then try again with a different method
