Self help is rising... or maybe I am just going down! Chris Last on drums!
Story behind the song
"Collision Course" by Belly Button, also known as Richard Stislicki, is a Goth Rock song that delves into themes of self-reflection and personal struggle.
The lyrics explore the feeling of being on a path to self-destruction, with the protagonist grappling with their inner demons and the consequences of their actions. The song's dark and introspective tone captures the emotional turmoil and the sense of inevitability that comes with being on a collision course with one's own fateA close friend of mine, Chris Last stopped over for a beer and conversation and this is one of the songs we played.
Lyrics
Collision Course
Youre going to fast to nowhere
Soon youre going to crash and then what
Who be left picking up pieces
When youre gone from your body
You could change if you wanted
You could do it if you try
Bad times coming up fast
Pedal to the metal you chance
If you thought this was speeding
This aint even
You could change if you wanted
You could do it if you try
Choose to change today
And dont walk away
Its always been up to you
The sun sets on us all way to soon
When will you change your glasses
What will you do with your old world
Everyone will look right through you
When your life is opened
You could change if you wanted
You could do it if you try
Wholl be the one that laughs
Shattered pieces from your past
A million different reasons
I never said it would be easy
You could change if you wanted
You could do it if you try
Choose to change today
And dont walk away
Its always been up to you
The sun sets on us all way to soon
