I enjoy that song very much! I think that the song is about feeling smothered or trapped in a relationship. When something is crystalized it has been compacted down to it's hardest form, a representation of how you become when someone you care is holding you so tightly that all you want is to break free and have more space in the relationship.
hope this helps! ^^

@ahappymina thank you !!! I really appreciate that you explained this to me .but can I ask one more question ?it's that if someone say "I'm crystalized " does it mean "I need more space,please leave me alone "?

@lijung04 In a way. It more means that someone is putting a lot of pressure on you and making you feel breathless / trapped.
It is not a common saying in every day speech, though. The singer is using more poetic words (like metaphors) to make a mental picture. It would sound odd to say it in regular conversation. :)
