Rather, as Glynda has been trying to teach her, it is a bloodly life-or-death struggle against creatures that combine animal ferrocity with human cunning and sadism and against humans with no morality whatsoever (or at least enormously twisted morality). These are my thoughts as well: she has yet to experience death and thus has no fear of it (contributing to her recklessness since she doesn't understand the risks); plus it's why I felt that line from the song was so chilling, because of the unspoken rebuttal: "You can't have that fairytale life!"

Along a different track, one line for the song had me baffled: "I don't wanna hear your absolution". on it's own, it didn't have an obvious meaning to the show; but when I took it with the line following it "Hope you're ready for a revolution", I realized it relates to the fauna: they don't want people to say "I'm sorry", they want change.

What do you think?
