The first part of the sonf tells us about a girls that had an accident:
"Accidents,out on the highway to somewhere".
This person "Holly" is obviously a young person, and she didn't see is coming:
"Nobody told her she'd lose in the first round"
Then she starts thinking about what she still wanted to do with her life, and how she thinks other people did make it, like the one's who have their names on the sidewalk (in hollywood, don't know the name):
"Names on her sidewalks they move through her body, Like razors they cut through her heart"
In the chorus she decides that it's over, she's dying:
"Hey let go of all you know,
I’m finding a way now
What have you got to lose
Say out loud these words I’ve found
I’ll be there when you come down
I’ll be waiting for you"
These last 2 sentences she probably says to her friends and family. She'll be waiting for them in heaven.
The second part is still about that she didn't do the things she wanted to do in her life, and the other people did:
"Night life and highlife
she just wants a good life
so someone remembers her too"
and that she's going to heaven:
"but somewhere she heard there was someplace to go
when you die when you live like we do
die when you live like we do"
That's what it is about, don't really think it is that much about hollywood that has lost it's inspiration.
Or maybe it is, but this is certainly another meaning.
