about
So a bit of context for this. About 2 weeks ago, I was out visiting some friends out at their family's land in Nebraska, having a weekend campout and just having a good time. We had a couple of dirt bikes out there, as well as an ATV (4 wheeler) for us to ride around on. I wanted to drive the ATV as soon as I saw it, so when I got my chance, I took some time to ride around on it and get comfortable. I started to get a bit overconfident with it.
Later in the day, I was riding around with 2 others on their dirt bikes, trying to keep up with them, and I took it up to about 60mph going down a long straight path on the land. I realized too late that I was coming up really fast towards a fence, so I slammed on the brakes, desperately trying to slow down. The tires locked up and I skidded for a good 150-200 yards, but I still wasn't slowing down enough.
Realizing I was gonna ride right into the fence if I didn't do something, as a last ditch effort, I tried to make a sharp turn to the left, and the left side tires on the ATV came over on me, and I rolled it into the fence.
Now, all things considered, I made it out pretty okay. I got knocked out, separated my right shoulder and cut myself up on the fence pretty good, but overall there was pretty minimal damage. But, since I already had a reputation for wrecking my cars, I didn't feel too great about this accident.
I talked about how I was feeling about it with my friends for a while, and I realized there were a couple ways I could look at this. I could look at it as it was presented to me (I was a bad driver/bad luck with vehicles), or I could look at it as I was "unkillable". Sure, I'd been through a couple of bad wrecks this year, but I'd survived both of them, against all odds.
So, with some encouragement from my friends, it led me to writing this song as sort of a way of accepting this reputation. Sure, could be better, but I could also be dead. Just depends on how you look at it.
So I think that'll be all for this one guys. Feel free to let me know what you thought. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Like, subscribe, stick around and jam out! I'll see y'all in the next one! Take care :)
lyrics
--------LYRICS--------
-Verse 1-
Burning shrapnel, twisted debris
A full year long bad luck streak
To welcome in, a brand new lease on life
Forged in magma, built to withstand
The proving grounds and mosh pits
That mother earth, has thrown with all her might
-Chorus-
With a reputation for destruction
The damages precede me
Crashing my way in
But with a reputation for survival
The situation's dire
But my temple is made of cast iron
-Verse 2-
Up to 3 now under my belt and climbing
But can they all
Really be called my fault
Advised against my will to not sit still
But I can't leave
Until I make that turn again
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
Hell, I know I'm accident prone
But I'm still here, and I'm able to walk away
