Execution Day
Execution Day Revelations: A Musical Journey of Promises and Fate
Lyrics
Oh blast, I drank the wrong draft down
Expressing regret or surprise for consuming the wrong substance
Two sips from your crown
Drinking from a symbolic or metaphorical "crown" and taking only two sips
The drops you left for me
Referencing the remnants or traces left by someone else
Am I so easily appeased?
Questioning one's easy satisfaction or compliance
Madrigal, why didn't you come out today, you promised to play
Asking someone named Madrigal why they didn't fulfill a promise to come out
Marigold, why didn't you come out today, we promised to play fair
Asking someone named Marigold the same question about a broken promise to play fair
You were already there
Noticing the presence of the person despite their absence
You were ready to cast our fate to the wind
Acknowledging readiness to take risks and face uncertain outcomes
To try your hand at everything
Encouraging exploration and trying various experiences
What a cinch it would have been had we been there
Reflecting on missed opportunities and the ease of achieving success
Those trials are held for tuning in, and smiles are stretched to be shown
Highlighting the purpose of trials for self-discovery and improvement
So when you claim to see for miles, it's not, but I believe it's true
Expressing belief in someone's ability to see beyond superficial appearances
Yes, trials are held for tuning in and smiles are stretched to be worn
Reiterating the significance of trials and the facade of displayed emotions
So when you claim to see for miles, you don't, but I believe you do
Acknowledging the gap between claimed perception and actual understanding
On this day which began as execution day
Repetition of the idea that a particular day started as an execution day and inevitably became one, emphasizing a predictable and inescapable outcome
And sure enough became execution day
-On this day which began as execution day
-And sure enough became execution day
-On this day which began as execution day
-And sure enough became execution day
-On this day which began as execution day
-And true to form became execution day
-On this day which began
-And true to form became execution day
-On this day which began
-And true to form became execution day
-On this day which began
-And true to form became execution day
