as far as i know this songs about driving past a fatal car wreck that happened by (duh) a lakeside.
i guess the irony is that the whole 'life flashed before your eyes' thing only happens when you escape a near death experience, but its written from the passer-by's point of view so its more about how the site of other corpses reminds him of his own mortalitty. Another cool thing is the double meaning of 'Where did it all go wrong?', which could refer to what could've caused this car wreck and also where did it all go wrong in his life.
