| The New Pornographers – Execution Day Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think this song is all about dread. He woke up today knowing full well that it was execution day, but it didn't make it any easier. The early verses call to mind lots of images of regret. "Oh blast, I drank the wrong draft down" "We promised to play fair" "What a cinch it would have been had we been there" and then the end seems to be saying that even though you dread the end, you can't slow it's coming. True to form it's always going to be execution day. Dreading it won't stop it. | |
