“Second Chance” disguises personal, life-influencing subject matter in an infectiously energetic melody. It is Bob Dylan introspection wrapped in M83 melodic sensibilities. The song includes an example of an effective use of the “F bomb,” since it is easy to become absorbed in the melody and decide to pay attention to the message only after hearing the line “You had a second chance, you fucked it up again.”
Mating Ritual is the performance name of Ryan Marshall Lawhon, who is based in Los Angeles. Quoting the Submithub material regarding the song, “Second Chance" is a reflection of the “experience of watching his parents go through years of repeating the same mistakes, and vowing to break the cycle before he gets caught up in the same problem.”
Mating Ritual will release a full debut album on May 19, 2017, via Smooth Jaws. The album, “How You Gonna Stop It?” will include eleven tracks, including “Second Chance.”

Lyrics of “Second Chance” by Mating Ritual
I wrote this song
A thousand times
Cause all the messes that I make are getting difficult to hide
I take my life
I box it up
I light a match and take a breath and watch the flames do what they want
When I was really young
My father taught me that a fire cleanses everything
A fresh set of your dreams
But now the smoke is filling up my lungs and I'm, I’m suffocating
I know what you did
I can't believe you right now
You had a second chance you fucked it up again, oh no
I love what we had
But I don't need another friend
I got a second chance to make it
I’m jumping off the ledge
I wish I knew
What people felt
I wish that I could hear what you do when I open up my mouth
I thought by now
I'd know who I am
But maybe growing up is realizing you'll never understand
When I was 21
I'd waste my nights gettin drunk in a Tustin living room
My mattress on the floor
But now I need something stronger just to get me there
And I'm disintegrating
I know what you did
I can't believe you right now
You had a second chance you fucked it up again oh no
I love what we had
But I don't need another friend
I got a second chance to make it
I’m jumping off the ledge
This is my
This my last
This is my
This my chance
This is my last second chance to prove
This is my
This my last
This is my last second chance
This is my last second chance to prove
That I’m not you
That I’m not you
That I’m not you
Last second chance to prove
Last second chance to prove
That I’m not you
I know what you did
I can't believe you right now
You had a second chance you fucked it up again, oh no
I love what we had
But I don't need another friend
I got a second chance, to make it, I’m jumping off the ledge
I’m jumping off the ledge
