“Shayla” is absolutely one of the best tracks by Blondie. Here's my interpretation. "Shayla" tells the story of a very an ordinary depressed who first works a dull blue-collar life. After some years of this existence, she begins to meltdown. She impulsively quits her job in a search for that elusive happiness. She goes to a pretty, scenic-type area to ponder, but still finds no solace. ("Scenery is still outside of me; All alone trapped by its beauty...”) She finally bottoms out ("Shayla turned to run away to leave in peace and end her stay; Years of fear were in her way...") and kills herself in an automobile accident. ("Cause on the freeway; Bright lights and thunder...") Then, at the very moment she perished, a spirit lifts her out of her misery to a better life. ("Lost in space and down she came-Suddenly some subtle entity, some cosmic energy, brushed her like shadows…”) |
