5) Second Chance is a London-based pop-punk band formed by Steve from Make It Better Later and Kris from Hypo Psycho.
Kapelu zakládají kytaristé Adam s Tomášem v roce 2006 v Praze. Oba byli ještě členy jiných kapel a Second Chance byla jejich dalším projektem. Jelikož nebyli zcela spokojeni s vývojem ve svých kapelách, rozhodli se dát hudbě druhou šanci – Second Chance.
Hraní v této kapele se pro ně stalo prioritou potom, co se podařilo dát dohromady sestavu plně schopnou skládat vlastní tvorbu a prezentovat jí na živých vystoupeních, což je pro rockovou kapelu důležité.
Skupina hraje svůj vlastní styl, který nelze jen tak přirovnat ke konkrétnímu žánru metalu. Používá pro něj obvykle označení „moderní hard rock“ se silným, robustním a kompaktním zvukem, který považuje Second Chance za základ.
Kapela se již od začátku orientuje na živá vystoupení, neboť tento způsob její členové považují za zábavnou a efektivní cestu ke zlepšení zvuku a pódiové show. Od roku 2007 bylo po celé České republice bandou odehráno slušné množství koncertů s pozitivním ohlasem publika.
V létě roku 2008 se začíná složení kapely obměňovat a postupně po příchodu basáka Karla Kramla, bubeníka Kraťase a nakonec zpěváka Jakuba Linharta vzniká silná sestava, která okamžitě začíná pracovat na nových skladbách a také tváři Second Chance.
Na přelomu ledna a února 2009 kapela natočila nové EP se 6 skladbami. Oficiální zveřejnění „placky“ je plánováno na červen 2009. Její součástí by měl být též klip na jednu ze skladeb, které se na ní nacházejí.
Playlist pro živá vystoupení Second Chance čítá přes 20 vlastních skladeb, přičemž další skladby průběžně vznikají za společného úsilí všech členů.
Během roku 2009 kapela plánuje natočit ještě jedno CD plné délky. Dále samozřejmě pokračuje v živých vystoupeních, včetně festivalů a motosrazů.

Second Chance Lyrics

To make this right
There’s nothing I can say
To change your mind
They say that dreams come true
But in this case the truth became a dream
I’ll take my hands off the wheel
I said don’t go
But you were never here anyway
I said don’t go
They buried me and you’re the one to blame
Your words, they pierced my tongue
Don’t be afraid to let go
Your lies tattooed my arms
Don’t be afraid, just let go
Let’s pretend that you miss me
Let’s pretend I don’t care
Let’s pretend that you wish I were there
You hate the girl in the mirror
But you love the girl you see in the pictures
You only see the mirror
And I only see the pictures
The song “Pictures” by Second Chance conveys the message of a failed relationship where the singer is coming to terms with the fact that there is nothing she can do to make things right. She realizes that even though dreams do come true, in her case it was the opposite, her truth became a dream. She decides to let go of her fear and take her hands off the wheel so she can face her feelings head-on.
The chorus reinforces the concept of the disintegrated love story. The singer says, “I said don’t go, but you were never here anyway. They buried me, and you’re the one to blame”. This line suggests that the relationship was over before it even began, and the singer was left to suffer the pain of it. The following verses talk about the lies and words that hurt her, and how she tries to pretend like everything is okay.
The bridge is interesting as it adds a new perspective to the song. The singer talks about how the other person hates the girl in the mirror but loves the one they see in the pictures. This line shows that the other person only cares about the superficial aspects of the relationship and not the person beneath the exterior. The ending line where the singer says, “You only see the mirror, and I only see the pictures” implies that both of them are not seeing each other for who they truly are, but only the parts they want to see.
Overall, "Pictures" is a beautifully written song that depicts the complexity of failed relationships and how it affects individuals.
Line by Line Meaning
There’s nothing I can change
I don't have the power to make a difference
To make this right
To set things the way it should be
There’s nothing I can say
Words won't have an impact
To change your mind
Persuasion isn't going to work
They say that dreams come true
It's believed that wishes can be fulfilled
But in this case the truth became a dream
In reality, the actuality turned out to be a fantasy
I’ll take my hands off the wheel
I'll give up control or direction
To see if there’s still fear inside of me
To check if I'm still scared or frightened
I said don’t go
I begged you not to leave
But you were never here anyway
Actually, you weren't present to begin with
They buried me and you’re the one to blame
Although I'm the victim, you are still responsible
Your words, they pierced my tongue
Your speech penetrated my tongue
Don’t be afraid to let go
Do not hesitate to release or relinquish
Your lies tattooed my arms
Your deception and falsehood are permanently etched on my arms
Don’t be afraid, just let go
Do not worry, simply release or let go
Let’s pretend that you miss me
Suppose you regret losing me
Let’s pretend I don’t care
I'll pretend I'm not affected or concerned
Let’s pretend that you wish I were there
Hypothetically, imagine you want me there
You hate the girl in the mirror
You despise the reflection of yourself
But you love the girl you see in the pictures
But on photographs, with certain angles, focusing on good aspects, you adore yourself
You only see the mirror
Your obsession/dissatisfaction with yourself is only in the direct reflection
And I only see the pictures
For me, you are just a collection of perfect pictures, not who you see yourself as
