I think it's written in the view of a person who's been wallowing in a state of complete apathy, and maybe even depression for quite a considerable time in their life, going through daily routines and stuff without really appreciating and acknowledging everything around them, and as corny as it sounds, the beauty and the pointlessness-ness (lol-basically how UN-pointless life is) of life.

They then find someone who jolts them back 'awake', shows them there is so much more to life and being than just being empty and zombie-like, and someone, as Katya said, who understands them and who they can find solace in (I do kind of think it was about loving someone as well-though the inspiration of for the song wouldn't quite fit if she was writing it about that too, but still, she probably wasn't only writing about that certain experience). This person opens their eyes to new emotions, feelings, ways of appreciating who they are than anyone they've met before.
