end of the movie

People you love
Will turn their backs on you
You'll lose your hair
Your teeth
Your knife will fall out of its sheath
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie

People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show

People you hate will get their hooks into you
They'll pull you down
You'll frown
They'll tar you and drag you through town
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show

i've been listening to the this song over and over lately. it's very short and very simple. it's funny cause in the NPR interview John Mcrea explains the motivation behind it. He says that some people don't keep living, don't keep going on with life because they are happy. But because they are curious. And that made sense to me. Some people don't have anything to live for, except to see how the ending will be. When things are as bad as they can be, some people stick with it, just to see how it will end up. They want to see how the plot will unravel and how the ending will manifest itself. so in that way then the lyrics made more sense to me. speaking to this individual, he was saying that people are going to commit wrongs against them, they are going to cause strife and grief to them. just like people in the world do. but this person still didn't want to leave, they still held on. why? just to see the end of the movie. to see how all of it played out. to me i take that as a positive thought. that no matter how bad things can get, even if you are void of happiness altogether, why not hold on? atleast to see how it all ends up? if you don't, you may never know. i can relate to this, being as my life seems too often like a movie. an afterschool special, then a tradegy, then to a love story, a drama, and through it all a comedy. would you leave a good movie in the middle of the plot? i know i wouldn't. this life maybe unscripted, but i'll keep recording mine. maybe someday this life will turn out to be a nice little story to share with a loved one. until then, be safe, and enjoy your sunday.
