Y.A.L.A M.I.A is a little overkill by acronym. However such a death is OK, as clearly YALA = You Always Live Again as espoused in her Sri Lankan roots . The last verse in particular being a great critique of those who quote the opposite YOLO (You Only Live Once) yet live with an apathy that suggests there were many others to come. But of course, then there's Nancy Sinatra who had her own theory and philosophy - YOLT or You Only Live Twice.
