I thought she was really talented when she debuted. Then I heard her REALLY offkey in two of her live performances, so I lost faith in her. And her debut song's lyrics didn't make any sense to me...

"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?"

What? Why didn't she just say, "If I fell into a hole, do you think time would pass me by?" and the answer would be DUH.

It doesn't matter if you fall into the sky, upward into the sky or whatever, time will ALWAYS pass you by. So, even though there could be a case made for poetic liberties, her lyrics are more convenience-based (i.e. they fit the melody, they rhymed!) than meaningful.
