Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me) is a song by the Canadian pop punk band Simple Plan. It is commonly used to depict emo culture on ytmnd. It's first major use was in a site called "EMO ORANGES". It would eventually replace Linkin Park's Crawling as the main song for emo sites and the infamous Myspace Suicide fad. The main chorus is often used for most of the sites.
Actually Emo?
By definition, this song is technically not emo. Simple Plan is known for being a pop-punk band, but that does not necessarily make them emo. The song Untitled is meant to be sad, but it is questioned by some whether or not that makes it emo. The song is supposed to be about a man dealing with losing a friend to a drunk driving accident (according to the music video).
Overuse and Criticism
As of November 9, 2006, Untitled is the most overused sound asset on ytmnd [1] with over 3,400 uses. Due to the overuse, there has been a lot of complaints. Most sites using the song are unoriginal, effortless, and are subject of NARVs. Despite the poor effort, many of the Simple Plan sites have not been killed.
Lyrics
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've made my mistakes
got nowhere 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've made my mistakes
got nowhere 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
(Saxophone interlude)
I've made my mistakes
got nowhere 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
