Actually Emo?
By definition, this song is technically not [emo]. [Simple Plan] is known for being a pop-punk band, but that does not make them emo. The song Untitled is no doubt meant to be sad, but it is questioned by some whether or not that makes it emo, because it is (according to the [music video]) about a man dealing with losing a friend to a drunk driving accident.
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
[Saxaphone 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
