Gee, I might as well be the first to state the obvious. The song is about his "career-ending" motorcycle accident in 1990.

Jagged stain on my skin Broken leg, born again Wide glide, upside down Twisted frame, my new crown

"Wide glide, upside down, twisted frame" refers to his Harley-Davidson Wide Glide. His leg was badly shattered. I don't think there needs to be much more 'splaining.
