English term or phrase:Coursecrash
(ex GG Allin's song "Live fast die fast") Try as I might, I can't seem to get even a glimmer of what coursecrash means. Anyone, please?
G.G. Allin Live Fast, die Fast Lyrics:
Me and the boys are, we're living for the night
We're looking for adventure, we're looking for a bloody fight
Always on the run, we're never gonna do what's right
We're looking for chicks and we're looking for kicks
We're living fast and we're living right
Live fast, die fast
Don't worry 'bout the crash
Hell bound on the coursecrash
Living in the alley with the rest of the trash
Ah we're never slowing down, we're gonna party tonight
We don't care 'bout nothing we're
living like rats in a sewer pipe
You'll never stop us now, when we're running the red light
Pick up a few racks at the corner store
We're gonna get wild in the streets tonight

Live fast, die fast
Don't worry 'bout the crash
Hell bound on the coursecrash
Living in the alley with the rest of the trash
Live fast, die fast
Don't worry 'bout the crash
Hell bound on the coursecrash
Living in the alley with the rest of the trash
Me and the boys are, we're living for the night
We're looking for adventure, we're looking for a bloody fight
You'll never, you'll never stop us now, you
see we're running the red light
We're looking for some chicks, we're
looking for some kicks and
We're living fast and we're living it right
Live fast, die fast
Don't worry 'bout the crash
Hell bound on the coursecrash
Living in the alley with the rest of the trash

I think the idea is that the characters in the song are hellbent on going to the limit regardless of whether it will end in them "wiping out" = dying

are pretty vague in general, so I wouldn't try to read too much into this - sounds nice when it's sung, but makes little sense when you sit down and actually read it.
There are several possibilities:
1. a pun on "crashing a course", i.e. someone who takes a college course without having registered and paid for it - similar to 'gate crasher'
2. a crash that occurs on a speedway
'Hell bound on the coursecrash' might connote the inevitability of a crash that is bound to happen, but it really does not convey anything in particular. It is wide open to interpretation.
of the Doors, talked about what it was all about. At least for him.

crash course
Explanation: sounds like they've simply taken the notion of a 'to be on a crash course' and turned it around so as to fit into their lyrics.
Crash course = an inevitable accident that will happen when two opposing forces meet

coursecrash
life is brief, violent crash course/traffic accident/party, that teaches you how to go to hell
Explanation: 'Live fast, die fast
Don't worry 'bout the crash
Hell bound on the coursecrash
Living in the alley with the rest of the trash'
words:
1. 'hellbent' = Recklessly determined to do or achieve something
race course.
course
2. 'hellbound' = Bound for Hell; damned
2. 'crash course' = A rapid and intense course of training or research (usually undertaken in an emergency).
3. 'course' = path: a line or route along which something travels or moves; "the hurricane demolished houses in its path"; "the track of an animal"; "the course of the river" ...
it is a poetic way of saying that (he is) ... HELLBENT ON CRASHING WHILE SPEEDING ALONG ON THE RACE COURSE OF LIFE ... THAT HIS LIFE IS A CRASH COURSE FOR HELL AND DESTRUCTION ... IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY (and enjoying it)
google 'crash course driving' e.g.
