The Songs Of Life: When It All Goes Wrong Again

Challenge #34 in the The Songs Of Life series. Hosted by The Bacon Wagoneer.

Challenge has finished

READ THE RULES! This challenge is all about interpretation: I named it with the title of a popular song (by Everclear), and it will be up to the entrants to determine what the song means to them - and how they can express that with a photo. **The link to the lyrics is at the top of the rules**

Digital Alfredo,

You deleted my last comment. That's not really fair is it? It only asked that you explain how your sample photo is an interpretation of 'what the song means to you'.

These are your words, Digital Alfredo:

"it will be up to the entrants to determine what the song means to them- and how they can express that with a photo."

"Photos **MUST** contain a thematic element of accidents, mishaps, or mistakes"

Which of these two contradictory 'rules' shall we follow?

Or do you just want photos of car crashes? If so, then why not make that the challenge title?

Yes, I did read the lyrics.

If you can't be imaginative enough to get a photo that both contains the desired element AND express your interpretation... well, that's your problem and I feel bad for you.
