The examples in the song are ironic, she just does not include enough details to clarify it. For example, an old man was afraid to fly so he took the train instead. And an unrelated plane crashed into it, killing him. He died on a plane crash due to avoiding planes. Ironic as fuck.
Ah, shit, I forgot she actually specified “take that flight” in it.
(my comment was supposed to be only a joke, but yeah it doesn’t work as I had intended)
