    Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?) - Simple Plan



    I open my eyes
    I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
    I can’t remember how
    I can’t remember why
    I’m lying here tonight

    And I can’t stand the pain
    And I can’t make it go away
    No I can’t stand the pain

    How could this happen to me
    I made my mistakes
    I’ve got no where to run
    The night goes on
    As I’m fading away
    I’m sick of this life
    I just wanna scream
    How could this happen to me

    Everybody’s screaming
    I try to make a sound but no one hears me
    I’m slipping off the edge
    I’m hanging by a thread
    I wanna start this over again

    So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
    And I can’t explain what happened
    And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
    No I can’t

    How could this happen to me
    I made my mistakes
    I’ve got no where to run
    The night goes on
    As I’m fading away
    I’m sick of this life
    I just wanna scream
    How could this happen to me

    I made my mistakes
    I’ve got no where to run
    The night goes on
    As I’m fading away
    I’m sick of this life
    I just wanna scream
    How could this happen to me


    Been quite some time since I've last heard any English song, and today, I guess there's one worth mentioning here.

    The music video tells a story of an automobile accident on a rainy night. A man, drinking alcohol while driving, inattentively drives head-on into a car driven by a woman, who dies. The man survives, relatively uninjured, and apprehended by the police.

    The 'hook' of the video is what happens to the victim's loved ones at the moment of impact, when they are, in the middle of everyday activities, violently thrown into walls and out windows as the two cars collide. It graphically shows that there are "more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever", to quote Simple Plan's description:

    “ Over the last few years, a lot of people we know have been involved in tragic accidents caused by drinking and driving. One of the students at our high-school crashed his car driving back from a weekend trip and killed his best friend. It was a very sad time that none of us will ever forget.

    When an accident happens, there are more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever...Parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, grandparents...everybody feels the impact.

    We wanted to tell a story with this video: the story about all of the innocent victims affected by drinking and driving.

    ”
    - quote from Wikipedia


    It graphically shows that there are "more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever".

    Hmm, I do believe that this is really true, and it's very important for us to think this way. A lot people in this world likes to take on the "victim" role and tries to victimize themselves (and also making themselves suffer more), while at the same time, failing to realize that there are more people out there who are fighting with far worse fate as compared to us.

    That is the simplest reason why, we have to cherish what we have now and not wasting them away. Cheers, to every person out there. :)
