I just got home of 2 exiting nights of Porcupine Tree at the 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands. At the 2nd night SW actually said that "Way Out Of Here" was indeed about a girl who comitted suicide on the traintracks while listening to a Porcupine Tree song on her iPod. Actually her morther will be attending the indigO2 show on Sunday October 19th in London. This is also the date that the girl from the song would have turned 18 years old. Isn't his bizare? I already had some kind of idea what the song was about, but this really touched me even more! Wow, what a song, what kind of song writing and one big chapeau for SW of being so "into this world".
And yes, I completely agree with XCrusherX that the girl from the song is leaving her(old)self, not her boyfriend.

Her family doesn't think it was suicide, but it just seems that way. If you watch the video for the song, it was set up just the way that she and her friend died.
