The song opens with a splash of water in the air. It's a kind of metaphor for life and death. People call this splash "fate" and then they die, but it's not true. Life and death have nothing to do with fortune. The narrator tells us that he's just waiting for a car to run over him. He's got no idea what's going on, but he does know that the car is going to hit him, and he doesn't want to be the one to die.
