silent screaming

Time for Song of The Day! I want to try to post a song for everyday, either one that I think summarizes my day,  for how I wish my day would turn out, or just a song that I was obsessed with. I have a pretty large library of music and I listen to lots of different styles, so I don’t plan on running out of songs any time soon. Yay!

For today, I pick this lovely song by Stars, Life 2: The Unhappy Ending. I just really like this song. It has no hidden meaning for me, except maybe the sense of impending doom. Click “continue” for lyrics~

Stars – Life 2: The Unhappy Ending

Scene one: late at night interior
We found ourself inside the car
Our hero has just gone too far
His lover bleeding in the back
He removes the Lucky from the pack
He knows now that he can’t turn back

Cut to: The cherry lights in the rear view
He realizes that he’s through
Whispers, “Darling, let’s have fun”
Hits the exit doing 91
Drives until he’s in the woods
If he loses them, he’s gone for good

Life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in tears
But life could be nothing but a joke
Could be nothing but a con
Where’s my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life could be nothing but a joke
A sentimental little con
Where’s my unhappy ending gone?
Where’s my unhappy ending?

Here’s the part where you save me
Here is the scene where you save the day
Why can’t the ending be happy?
Why must it always resolve this way?

Fade in: the cabin in the woods somewhere
Our hero strokes his lover’s hair
Says, “Don’t worry love, we’re almost done.”
Says, “I could have really been someone”

Outside they surround the house with pistols drawn
It’s a waiting game until the dawn
Sergeant says, “He can’t go on.
We know now that he can’t go on…”

Life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in blood
But life could be nothing but a joke
A sentimental little con
Where’s my unhappy ending gone?

Oh, life was supposed to be a film
Was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life, turns out it’s nothing but a dream
And I will miss it when it’s gone
I want the story to go on and on and on…

But it can’t go on
