A gripping song by Chester Bennington about life events filled with misfortune, questioning whether it's bad luck or destiny. The lyrics recount events where being in the wrong place at the wrong time led to adverse and challenging situations.
Verse 1:
I walked into a night, just another party scene
Who knew that cruelty could be so routine?
Lights flashing, music blasting, I danced along
Till the pavement met me with tire tracks drawn
Chorus:
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
Are these meant to break me or harden my will to survive?
Verse 2:
Outside a club, arguments piercing through the night
I saw him rage, it’s a wicked sight
Stepped in to save, tried to stand tall
But his fists met my face, and I took the fall
Chorus:
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
Are these meant to break me or harden my will to survive?
Bridge:
Maybe these moments are meant to test
The strength within, the spirit unrest
Every scar, every pain, etching my soul
In the grand scheme, do they make me whole?
Chorus:
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
Are these meant to break me or harden my will to survive?
Outro:
Now I look back at these trials I've braved
Strengthened by the chaos, by the paths they paved
Wrong place, wrong time, yet here I stand
Making sense of the scars, as I raise my hand
Chorus:
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
Are these meant to break me or harden my will to survive?

Song about my life events where I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One time I went to a party only to get intentionally hit by a car which broke my leg.
Another I showed up outside a club and saw a couple fighting. Boyfriend was on drugs and being abusive so I stepped in to stop it, but got my ass kicked.
Why do all these things happen to me?
Is it bad luck or is it destiny?
Are these meant to break me or harden my will to survive.
