Simple Plan - Untitled

Song: Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?)

Artist: Simple Plan

Album: Still Not Gettin' Any...

Simple Plan is a Canadian Pop/Rock band from Montreal, Quebec.

I first heard Simple Plan on the radio. I liked the songs I heard so I downloaded some. Among them was Untitled. The song is about and against drinking and driving. The music video starts at the scene of a car accident. Paramedics and firefighters remove a badly injured young woman from a wrecked car. Scenes of what are presumably the girl's family at home and work are also shown, as well as shots of Simple Plan lead singer Pierre Bouvier singing the song. They flash back and show the driver of the car that hit the girl's car drinking alcohol while behind the wheel of his car, and the two cars crashing. As the two cars collide they show the girl's family being thrown into furniture and walls. I think the meaning of this is that drinking and driving doesn't just hurt one person, it tears a lot of people apart. They then show doctors and nurses at the hospital trying to save the girl. Meanwhile the drunk driver is given a breathylizer and arrested. At the end of the video they put the phone number and website of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) on the screen. I think that the don't drink and drive message in the song and video is great.

"Untitled"

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
