Karma is a powerful thing. That's pretty much what Second Chances by THE RESISTANCE is about. A teenage girl who has bullied people all of her life gets into an accident and dies. She lays on the hospital bead, and then raises out of her body. She looks upon her dead body and the doctors who are working on her. She hears them pronounce her dead. She vows that she will change her rotten ways if she gets another chance at life. She begs for a second chance. Throughout the song, she says to herself that "second chances don't come every day." She's worried that it's too late for one. She fears that her second chanced "passed away" like she has. She comes back to life, though, and keeps her promise in becoming a better person.
