Unrequited

Skindive's "No More Good Guys" is the song that I will be using for our final project. I heard this song on the final episode of Season One in "Queer as Folk", just after a tragic bashing of one of the main characters.

I liked the sound of the song, which I felt was dead accurate, and went looking for the lyrics. Even within the pain of the song, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope and a searching for strength.

Soon I found the MP3 online, and after repeated listening, the song seemed to say that even from pain and suffering, if you looked deeper inside you'd find a reason to be hopeful.

It made me think of the line in Gubra, "It's like being in love with someone who won't love you back." And the pain that comes out of that.

I hope to use this song in a manner that tells all Malaysians that if we would take action, perhaps "the pain inside will stop".

Here are the lyrics:

I died today,
but I'm still breathing,
bleeding,
for now,
I'm broken.

You left me here,
Capsized and sinking,
thinking, right now,
there's no more good guys.

You left me standing here,
alone and colder,
I hope that some day soon,
the pain inside will stop.

You died today,
but you're still breathing,
in my mind,
that is,
there's no more good guys.

You left me standing here,
alone and colder,
I hope that some day soon,
the pain inside will stop
I hoped you'd see me,
I hoped you'd understand,
Or crucify me for my failings,
my cruel ambition,
hardly justified,
and the pain inside will ... stop.
