My Time

from Slutlips by Catherine Corelli

/

about

“My Time” was a weird track in so many ways. The music for it came from so many different emotions and places even before it formed into a concise narrative. One of the catalysts for this day in the life of Alice track was an original trailer for the video game Thief 4. The lines “Night. I own the night. And what I don’t own, I take” refer directly to this trailer and to the whole Thief concept as a whole. Alice sees herself as a thief of sorts as she walks through her life stealing men’s and women’s hearts… simply because she cannot find her own.

lyrics

SC.10 INT. Chicago small diner. Afternoon

Bunny and Daisy are having a today's special and coffee, Bunny's talking on her phone
There's the Chicago Midnight Jazz band playing on the radio with the 'Scapegod' track yet again

Bunny: [cheerfully] You heard about this Underworld thing?
You got it, right? Ha ha ha

[laughs]

Yeah. He told me it's
All fun! Laura says it's SWELL! [laughs again]
Better than fucking anything! [listens]
[lowers her voice] I wanna try it. [listens again]
Oh! Ok, ok. Kiss kiss. [hangs up, turns to Daisy]

Daisy: So you're like still with that other guy?
Bunny: Nooo... You silly! He's Stan's friend
Daisy: Mmm... [with obvious admiration] Stan's sweet!
Bunny: [laughs] Forget it, Daisy. He's hanging out with that metal chic
Daisy: Oh, she looks creepy... She looks like Abaddon in Slipknot merch, all tattooed. Her name is Alice
Bunny: Yeah, yeah. She looks like a slut
Daisy: Gross. He'll dump her
Bunny: You just have a thing for Stan
Daisy: [exaggeratedly] Nnnno! [laughs] Ok, I have. But he's not as cute as Cas
Bunny: Quit watching TV shows or you won't be graduating this year
Daisy: But Cas is gorgeous!
Bunny: Not as Dean!
[both laugh]
Daisy: We won't go to the cabin this weekend. There's this cop sneaking around. He's been asking questions about that murder
Bunny: I don't like cops!
Daisy: Yeah. Cops are dumb
Bunny: Totes! And creepy

The diner ambiance pitches down. A weird tone noise hangs for a while

Alice: Night. I own the night. And what I don't own, I take

Alice sings:

Night... My time

I might have been a better girl
I could have been a nothingness
I would have been a happy waste
A loved, and fucked, and cherished common place

It might have been a Peach's case
I could have had myself erased
But ended up on a lost highway
So fire walk with me, fire walk with me

Night... I might have been, I might have been...
My time. I could have been, I could have been
Night... I should have been, I should have been
My time

And the night owns me...
