this is my first songfic. the song is Clocks by Coldplay. this songfic explains Dally's life while he was running from the cops and before he is shot
Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Dally's POV
the streetlights come on and i know i'm a goner. dying tonight is something i must do to relieve my self of this pain i'm feeling. no matter how hard i "tried" to fight my personality of a no good JD, i couldn't.
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Dally's POV
life has just been cruel to me. what kind of life am i supposed to live when i was put in jail at 10? i've pleaded and pleaded with this unknown higher being to just be nice to me once but no. no, life ain't never nice. so, i was never nice.
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are
Dally's POV
when i die tonight, no one should be surprised. i know that everyone knows i'll die a bitter death anyway, why not now? i wanna play with death and lose right now. i'm losing control of everything around me. Johnny's gone. my sweet Johnny...all my demons are coming back. i have to face them. i must die to gain control of my doomed life.
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)
Dally's POV
my life has been frustration and confusion. seems like everything is closing in and time is running out. i must run faster. the cop sirens are getting closer and louder. i just can't stop running. i know what i must do. there are thousands of things that i could've done to make my life better but i just couldn't risk it. would i be bettering myself or would things turn out for the worse? too late now...i must run faster towards the lot...
You are (x6),
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
Dally's POV
finally, i've made it to the "spotlights". about 5 cop cars are parked around the curb and all i think is, this is it, dally. nothing else compares to this moment of truth.
You are (continues in background),
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Dally's POV
i notice the boys screaming, "Stop! Don't shoot!" that phone call to Darry paid off. this is my moment. i'm going home. as i pull my heater out of my pants pocket, i know that Ponyboy will understand everything about this night. he knows my heater is never loaded. so, i raise it and scream, "You'll never take me alive!" and as the bullets pierce through my once warm flesh, the look of pure triumph and defeat is on my face. all i can think is, i'm finally going home. where i've wanted to go for so long, wherever it is.
i did this because i was trying to analyze the song Clocks and the more i thought about it, the more it reminded me of Dally's life. leave reviews, good or bad, please.
