my name is Shayla too =D

you both pretty much said exactly what i thought, but for some reason at the end, it always makes me think that she dies or something...which i don't ACTUALLY think, it just sort of seems like it...i don't know what i'm trying to say now haha.

If she (indeed) dies, she dies in a car accident, on a slippery road.

I am free but life is so cheap Scenery is still outside of me All alone trapped by its beauty

That's a wonderful lyric.

Me, too. I always thought she committed suicide. She left her job because she planned to kill herself, but she went on one last trip down the freeway. I thought the "lost in space and down she came" part was her jumping off a bridge, and passerbys wondered who this lovely, anonymous dead girl was.

A more optimistic interpretation is that "lost in space" refers to Shayla daydreaming and the "cosmic energy" is God or some source of inspiration that encourages her not to end her life after all. I would like to believe that this is what...
