do you think you can predict your future?

Objects in the mirror might look closer than they
without noticing it? i mean you don't know it is going to be your future until it happens.
Like those singers who sing about their deaths and then they died exactly the same way the wrote it.
A few examples:

http://www.cracked.com/article_16886_6-musicians-who-predicted-their-own-death-in-song.html

I mean most of cases are coincidences or just general lyrical stuff that could match randomly open of interpretation perhaps? not everything. In other cases they were into something that could rationally lead to their endings but i wonder if there is anything else?
Here's a piece of a song by a venezuelan rapper who killed one friend and then jump out of the window of his appartment killing himself in the process. Conspiracy theories asides...
The song goes: "i cry of anger while i'm laying in the pavement, i heard an old lady screaming saying they killed carlos, only then i smiled releaved because carlos was the bastard who killed my brother" (here he's watching himself from outside his body, his soul is now talking becuase he's death in the song context)
It turns out that the friend he killed was named carlos (obviously not the one who killed his actual real life brother who btw was actually murdered) and there's even a song in where he collaborated with this same friend band and he literally says he's going to jump from a very high appartment (not in a suicidal context obviously). Maybe because he was depressed he had all of these references sleeping in his mind and somehow there was a trigger which awake them making him turn them real or something.
I dunno i was just thinking about these curious coincidences.

I'd probably first look to see how many song lyrics about death have been written where the writer/singer/band did not die, and see how many there are.

Then I'd look at the context of these and see what kind of actual probabilities can be determined.

The classic is "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean, 1964. Two years later Jan Berry wrecked his Corvette not far from the curve. He had a lot of brain damage, but eventually -- after years -- he beat the lyrics ("Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve") and recovered enough to perform, despite paralysis on his right side.
Lots of groups were making songs about fast cars and surf songs in the early 1960s.

I was cruisin' in my Sting Ray late one night
When an xke pulled up on the right
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
Let's come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine
But I'll throw you one better if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way
To Dead Man's Curve"

Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
Dead Man's Curve, you best keep away
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve

The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
You should of heard the whine from my screamin' machine
I flew past Labrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were
At Dead Man's Curve

Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
Dead Man's Curve

Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve

Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
Dead Man's Curve, you best keep away
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve
