December 6, 2021
Also before we begin just a little trigger waring this song mentions death and wanting to die. Along with cheating if you can´t handle that I suggest clicking off this article now. If you are still here let´s get into the review! The song My Smile Is Extinct by Kane Strang is about a boy falling in love with the girl and dating her. He had planned to marry her when all of the sudden they go to this party and she cheats. She confesses to him that she cheats. He forgives her. A couple of weeks later she calls him out to dinner and grabs his hand and confesses that she cheated again. The boy is heart broken He doesn know what to do. He had planned on marrying her. He feels as though he wants to die. The lyrics are as follows:
Lyrics
Yes, she is the best I’ve ever had
I’ll say it to her face and I’ll say it to her dad
We went to a party
At my good friend’s house
I’ll say it to her face and I’ll say it to her dad
We went to a party
At my good friend’s house
Then I fell asleep inside my car
She tapped up on the window, said she’d gone too far
She’d met another boy
Another pretty boy
She tapped up on the window, said she’d gone too far
She’d met another boy
Another pretty boy
I said, “Kill me now, I want to die”
“I heard there’s a chance at an afterlife”
“I might not get let in”
“But at least I won’t be living”
“I heard there’s a chance at an afterlife”
“I might not get let in”
“But at least I won’t be living”
Here I am, sandwiched between
Heaven and hell, oh what, they don’t exist?
Oh well, I wouldn’t have gotten into the good one
And I still won’t be living to
Heaven and hell, oh what, they don’t exist?
Oh well, I wouldn’t have gotten into the good one
And I still won’t be living to
See her with another man
Oh that really, really, really, really wasn’t my plan
I used to ask life to kill me slowly
But now I beg you just get on with it
Oh that really, really, really, really wasn’t my plan
I used to ask life to kill me slowly
But now I beg you just get on with it
Yes, she is the best I’ve ever had
I’ll say it to her face and I’ll say it to her dad
We went out for dinner
At our favorite restaurant
I’ll say it to her face and I’ll say it to her dad
We went out for dinner
At our favorite restaurant
Then she reached across and grabbed my hand
I don’t like when they do that, it’s always part of the plan
She said, “I’ve met a boy”
Another pretty boy
I don’t like when they do that, it’s always part of the plan
She said, “I’ve met a boy”
Another pretty boy
I said, “Kill me now, I want to die”
“I heard there’s a chance at an afterlife”
“I might not get let in”
“But at least I won’t be living”
“I heard there’s a chance at an afterlife”
“I might not get let in”
“But at least I won’t be living”
Here I am, sandwiched between
Heaven and hell, oh what, they don’t exist?
Oh well, I wouldn’t have gotten into the good one
And I still won’t be living to
Heaven and hell, oh what, they don’t exist?
Oh well, I wouldn’t have gotten into the good one
And I still won’t be living to
Ever see her with another man
Oh that really, really, really, really wasn’t my plan
I used to ask life to kill me slowly
But now I beg you just get on with it
Oh that really, really, really, really wasn’t my plan
I used to ask life to kill me slowly
But now I beg you just get on with it
The boy says how life itself is killng him and he does not wish to live. Though this could be a tactic to try to get her to stay we do not know because the song ends when he wants to die again. So we do not know if he ended up using her or if she used him again. We do not know if he forgives her or if he moveson. I suppose Kane leaves t up to us to pick.
