8 Hidden Clues You Never Noticed In Famous TV Shows
3. A Song In Breaking Bad Reveals How The Show Will End
Ah, Breaking Bad remember when everyone was desperately theorizing about how the show would end? Fans online analysed everything from the use of colour in the show to how certain shots were framed to try and pinpoint where it was all going. Though creator Vince Gilligan frequently employs effective use of symbolism and subtext, it turns out the whole thing is laid out at the very beginning of the finale, when Walter White plays the song El Paso by American singer Marty Robbins as he drives towards his ultimate fate. So what's up with the song? Well, it basically details Walt's journey during the final season. The lyrics tell of a cowboy who falls in love with a woman named Felina (which happens to be the title of the finale), and how the cowboy runs away after killing someone who threatens to stand between them. In the end, though, the cowboy returns, and during a violent shoot-out is hit, dying after one last kiss from the woman he loves. In the show, Walt flees from New Mexico as the law closes in on him, but ultimately decides to return, essentially going on a suicide mission. Heck, the section of the song that plays while Walt is sitting in the car and preparing to return is I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark. Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me, tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart. Like the cowboy in the song, Walt is hit in a shoot-out and dies next to the criminals' meth lab (the creation of meth, of course, being his ultimate love).
