I think it's about a girl who isn't very happy with her job and her life, so she decides to leave. ("Shayla turned to run away/leave in peace and end her stay/years of fear were in her way/lost in space and down she goes") But then something happens, maybe depression or grief, and she dies. It feels to me like it's a tragic accident nobody knows the cause of or she committed suicide. ("Cars on the freeway/bright lights and thunder")
It's such a beautiful song. "bright lights and thunder" really stands out to me, as well as "I'm free, but life is so cheap"
