“CRASH N’ BURN”
(N. MICHALAK)

Burn yourself into the ground
Not bothering to turn around
Fuel your ravenous need
You want more speed

(Chorus)
  But you crash n’ burn
  Right before your eyes
  You can’t make the turn
  You live for the highs

  Take your last breath
  ‘Cause there’s no time left

Hit the afterburners once again
The last of your life it will drain
Fire up your fuel
And you it’ll rule

(Chorus)
  ‘Cause you crash n’ burn
  Right before your eyes
  You can’t make the turn
  You live for the highs

  Moving faster than ever
  Blinded by your smoke
  Speed on and on forever
  Even through the choke

  Take your last breath
  ‘Cause there’s no time left

(Chorus)
  ‘Cause you crash n’ burn
  Right before your eyes
  You can’t make the turn
  You live for the highs

  No time to slow down
  The smoke comes clear
  Crash into the wall now
  You lie dead here

  Burn yourself dead

It seems to be a constant topic with me because this is another song about drugs.  Basically, using the "need for speed" in reference to car racing as a metaphor to the need for the drug, "speed".  You go & you go & you go until you burn yourself out, and, perhaps, even burn yourself into death.  It's an addiction to never being able to slow down, and that you feel as though you must go faster & faster until you can't even stop in time to take your last breath.
