Cover art for The Rollercoaster Ride lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

Mood swings, emotional instability which keeps her "inside" ("inside" where? a psychiatric ward? seeing as her pockets are full of psychiatric drugs?).

Maybe she slept with someone in the bit where she's working on the 'puzzle.' "You want a baby, baby watch the idiot running." Like everyone you see out on the street they are there one day, and then gone the other. A lot like a rollercoaster- something that isn't constant but always moving. She's very defensive with her bow and arrow- perhaps even thinking of suicide, or maybe she's already chosen a social death by retreating to books ('hanging from the balcony' with her 'mouth wide open for the top of the class').
