Lyrics:
pull the plug in September
i don’t want to die in June
i’d like to start planning my funeral i’ve got work to do
pull the plug, make it painless
i don’t want a violent end
don’t say that you’ll always love me cause you know i’d bleed myself dry for
you over and over again
doomsday is close at hand
i’ll book the marching band
to play as you speak
i’ll feel like throwing up
you’ll sit and stare like
a goddamn machine
i’d like to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist you’ll probably
do it next week
i don’t get a choice in the matter why would i? it’s only the death of me only the
death of me
pull the plug but be careful
i don’t wanna die too soon
i think there’s good in you somewhere i’ll hang on ‘til the chaos is through
doomsday is close at hand
i’ll book the marching band
to play as you speak
i’ll feel like throwing up you’ll sit and stare like
a goddamn machine
i’d like to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist you’ll probably
do it next week i don’t get a choice in the matter why would i? it’s only
the death of me was so quiet
no friends and family allowed
only my murderer, you
and the priest who told you to go to hell and the funny thing is i would’ve
married you if you’d have stuck around
i feel more free than i have in years
six feet in the ground
doomsday is close at hand
i booked the marching band
to play as you speak
i feel like throwing up
you sit and stare like a goddamn machine
i’d have liked to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist
that you did it on halloween
i had no choice in the matter
why would i? it’s only the death of me

whoever was in charge of the music for the show school spirts know they put the most perfect song over the final scene. they did their big one. the writing the final scene and this song came together as one of the best combinations like ever.

ON TOUR! PLEASE IM GONNA HEAR THIS LIVE 😭😭😭

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

Love your music!

[@farkhundakhan1989]

Skeleton face is the unintentional motif that I'm totally 'digging' lol. 'Doomsday', the short film, 'let it be', and Adam's song 'joyride'.

[@cpcnw]

Wow, that's funny - was just thinking of 'Guiltless' which I absolutely adore also...

[@occamseraser]

I'm a guitar teacher and a student just asked me to show them how to play this track tonight. From a music analysis viewpoint, man, so so much cool stuff in it.

[@BriGuyThompson1]

That melody of "I don't wanna die in June" right at the beginning gives me chills every damn time I listen to it. Soooo good!

It reminds me of a different song but I can’t put my finger on it…

[@AngusUren]

@@Stargirl9071 might be different direction to what you're going for but this song makes me thing of "Home" by Zero 7, something about the instrumentals.

[@jercasgav]

@@Stargirl9071 It sounds a bit similar to some moody 90s songs by female vocalists like "Leave Me Alone" by Natalie Imbruglia or Lisa Loeb "Firecracker", or Avril Lavigne "I'm With You".

[@kristamcleod8616]

This song is featured in the last episode of School Spirits and the first time I heard it I was obsessed!!!!!

[@avanijames4588]

That's why am here, I heard it and loved it at first listen.

[@davezedman]

Same! Perfect song choice for the end of the season reveal.

[@gabrielagee933]

Ooooh so that’s why it sounded familiar

[@tylerthecreatorsdadREAL]

That’s why I came here best show ever I can’t wait for season 2

[@jimmydriveway]

My God, those bone dry vocals are so refreshing. I can hear every characteristic of her voice. The melody is amazing and that break down section is haunting.

[@jacktaylor7264]

This characteristic had me hooked from the opening line. It’s like she’s singing directly into your ear

[@christopherjbutler]

100 Percent agree. Like Dodie's "These Things" bedroom demo video, this instantly makes you lean in and listen to every breath and syllable.. Effing huge in it's stark intimacy.

[@jimmydriveway]

@@christopherjbutler Exactly. Ear candy.

[@youslyfox]

i was just thinking the same thing...whoever mixed this did a phenomenal job...the compression on the vocal is perfect. keeps it right up front where it belongs and allows this song to feel so personal...the intricacies throughout are kept so even; fluid. cannot stop listening to this track

[@jimmydriveway]

@@youslyfox Same… several times a week. lol.

[@artvjon]

I don't say this lightly: doomsday is a fucking masterpiece. Thank the algorithm gods for recommending this to me, incredible talent & such a genuinely compelling song lyrically/musically. I've listened to this 20 times in the past 2 days and I seriously never do that.

[@MarinaHeath]

Found this song because of your year end list and holy crap… masterpiece is no exaggeration

[@KellieValentine]

Listened to the song cause I liked the clip you used for your year end list and now I'm in love with this song, it gave me CHILLS

[@RadRacer1378]

Literally a masterpiece that no one’s ever heard

[@zchris87v80]

I have a bit of a resentment for high school so the video doesn't do it for me, but the song is absolutely incredible. I live in radio range of where I went to college, and the nonprofit college station introduced me to this amazing song a few weeks ago. Thanks WSBF.

[@tashuntka]

It is epic.... 💛🦘💛🦘💛🦘💛🦘

[@nefelifrida1088]

I heard this song for the first time on School Spirits, and it's such a perfect choice of song! It's been on repeat in my ears all day.

[@tymbarks]

Sameeee! hahah I'm obsessed

i hate that i'm just now catching that she said that after a year of finding this album..

[@CranNana]

The fact that the line “only my murderer, you and the preist who told YOU to go to hell.” Saying how the preist told him to go to hell instead of her MURDERER. Lyrical Genius.

[@CranNana]

This song can also be interpreted way differently but this how I perceive it!! ( ex, “only my murderer ( you ) and the preist who told you to go to hell” )

[@X31F]

She's her own murderer

[@jesiagustin]

i cant wait to tell everyone that i am a fan of her since she was just starting

[@shaybrown7355]

Me too

[@El_Gallo_De_Oro]

Same here. I know she’ll be big in the near future and I’ll be able to tell people I was here this early and I have two copies of her album 😎

[@feelingfreaky409]

Saaaameee

[@ClockworkDave]

Been sending my sister her songs for ages, trying to get her to listen. Hoping this might catch her on.

[@tashi6198]

absolutely

[@snorklewacker]

This song is such a kick in the gut. I could go on and on and on about how perfectly it captures those emotions, the atmosphere, the helpless sadness and anger at someone else’s actions…but instead I’ll just go listen to it again and enjoy how it makes me feel all the feels all over again.

[@SandraIris]

The combination of intimate moments and epic cinematic parts makes the song stand out even more. Good job

[@bella.3555]

the best part is 3:35 when the camera moves into the wedding scene and her vocals are so amazing i can't stop rewatching

[@nospoonfulofmayonnaiseforme]

Hi beard!

[@madcaptainsundy]

It's highly possible that my interpretation of this is entirely not what these creators intended, but there's clearly so much thought and effort and passion put into this project that I want to explain what I got out of a few elements of the video: The moment when she puts the mask on (3:42) could be when she decides to put on a face/persona to convince him to feel bad for her (which doesn't work enough to make him stay because he thinks she's faking it and/or because he's a jerk). Through the process of trying to express to him how hurt she is and trying to convince herself to not let him get under her skin (or to get him out from under her skin, I guess, because he already has gotten under her skin), she "dies" like their relationship -- that's why she's still a skeleton when the mask comes off. I LOVE the part with her stabbing the pomegranate (2:34) and how that connects to Persephone and Hades -- the motifs of death, betrayal, heartbreak, etc. The lighting, OH MY GOD, the lighting -- the dark hallway with a light at the beginning rather than the end, the blinding light through the windows, the fluorescent dullness of the classroom, the sunset alone on the bleachers, the sunrise with him on the bleachers, the soft glow of the church, the dusty brightness of the funeral, the clarity of the field that fades to black, the spotlight on the stage in front of an empty theater -- it all expresses her feelings so well and (despite, or perhaps because of the variety in the intensity of the lighting) ties the whole story together visually. There's so much specificity that communicates such clear emotion, both lyrically, instrumentally, and visually -- I could go on and on about how well this is crafted. Every choice in this song and music video (and in all my ghosts, which is one of my new favorite songs) is so brilliant. The fact that music like this exists restores my faith in humanity; I can't wait for the album!

[@zchris87v80]

Well said. Symbolism seems to be lost in modern music but this encapsulates it perfectly.

[@sarahlevine2397]

I really like your interpretation. Everything feels so gray and numb after a breakup/heartbreak so it honestly does feel like a type of death in a way. The death of your past self.

[@endorkugo]

i think the death mask and her face painted is her coming to terms, he's left her and she's wallowing in self-pity in the ending of their relationship. she's like a walking skeleton, feeling empty.

[@rennboensch]

OKAYY the production on this song is genuinely transcendent

[@LizzyMcAlpine]

philip & ehren went hard

[@caleblim6890]

I absolutely love the way the melody curves at “you’re such a narcissist”, an instant hook!

[@abigailsparrowofficial]

i’m literally in shock lizzy this is amazing. the video is BEAUTIFULLY done, so much meaning behind every frame, the song is literally insanity your lyrics are absolutely ridiculous i find new meaning every time i listen. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ART literally so proud :’)))))

[@j.j.p.5475]

Wow, the part of your funeral is absolutely impressive. The change of the melody, the recording, the amazing control of your voice, the intensity and the bad milk of the message leaves you wanting to send the bastard who probably hurt you to hell. Oh my gosh! I think I'm not the only one who wants more.

[@chloeygibbons7705]

This song is going to bring Lizzy the recognition she deserves

[@sagegreen_05]

the way lizzy compares being broken up with to being murdered is so beautiful. a couple months ago, i was in the same situation. i knew it was coming, and i knew she wasn’t staying, but i did everything in my power to keep her. i still wish that i could’ve had a say in it.

[@hedersmusic]

i think its really funny that your song “Pancakes for Dinner” is what got me and my ex together. We broke up a couple days ago and this song matches exactly what i’m going through rn Been holding off on watching this vid but today felt like the day. I’m glad i saw it :)

[@seungkyeom]

I guess same+a bit more, I have the near exact story where pancakes for dinner was "our song" and Doomsday could very possibly be our ending song. she came out as lesbian on Halloween, broke up with me right after our Halloween party and I was throwing up my guts in a church because I didn't know how to take it lol, and it's funny because I was so eager to plan our future together and stuff but when it ended it was like damn there goes that

[@ellispipermusic]

hey, right there with you. 'pancakes for dinner' was our song, and it's so so hard to listen to all of the sweeter songs from give me a minute now. everything just hurts so much, but this single came at just the right time for me. still not feeling great but definitely needed the catharsis

The narcissist who took me to the edge, I ironically met in marching band - this song is healing for those us ravaged by this abuse. Thank you for sharing it ❤

[@jessicafaroe4429]

OMG. I literally have no words. The melody, the lyrics, the depth of thought... this is INSANELY AMAZINGLY MIND-BLOWINGLY GOOD. I can't even speak anymore...

3:15 I STARTED BANGING MY HEAD IN THE AIR WHILE CRYING STARTING HERE 😢

[@sindybatista6105]

@3:34 I heard this for the first time today. Me and my ex of 4 years were supposed to get married. It was so toxic, and broke me so badly that I thought the only way out was to commit. So I overdosed one night when he pushed me too far. @3:34 made me realise that if he wouldn't have did me the favor of leaving soon after that, I would have married him. And been stuck in that horrible life, cause I couldn't walk away. I truly believe I would have died if he stayed. For the first time in years, I believe that I can live again, and I am free. I would have found freedom in disguise in death. But now I'm understanding I'm free.

You have been through such hell I'm so happy that you've made it through❤

[@awakentotruthmichaelsmith4698]

Keep going! Glad to hear you got through it

[@annashirley6243]

I genuinely can't stop listening. This is one of the best songs you've ever put out Lizzy

[@ozziegott]

its so rare that a music video can vastly improve the listening experience of a song thats already one of my favorite songs. that just happened omg.

There was a moment in the 90s when the depth and talent for women singer-songwriter alt-rockers were phenomenal. Liz Phair, Juliana Hatfield, PJ Harvey, Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple... many others. It was such an incredible period of themes and power and intelligent lyrics, as well as astonishing melody and music. I say this only because since then I've very rarely felt that in discovering a new artist. Definitely feels like you'd fit right amongst that illustrious pantheon.

i am so so OBSESSED with that bridge! it's INSANE! the crescendo, the build up, the RISE!

[@8Shelin9]

3:36 the best parttt

[@Barbara-yj2pi]

My god!! I am crying my eyes out. You showed up on my recommended and for some reason I clicked it. I am SO GLAD I did. Your art connected to me in a way where I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, I was frozen. Simply beautiful and only someone who's been through something similar can understand the hurt and the deep meaning of this song/mv. This is truly a masterpiece! The shots, the melody in the beginning that reminded me of a Nirvana song, very 90's. I am now a fan!

[@ilikecheeseyay]

this song is so amazing, it gives off major heathers vibes, i’m obsessed

[@tophlovr]

Literally cannot get enough of this song. I discovered it on my lunch break. Listened to it on repeat on my lunch walk. Blasted it the whole 25 min commute. CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF IT!

[@seetheflow]

I think it was my 9'th or 10th playthrough that I realized the priest is also the custodian. I can't stop listening to this.

[@landongmcallister]

this song is literally nothing i have ever heard before and that is why i love it so much. lizzy, you ate.

[@Nikol.4756]

I found this through a movie and omg im so happy I found it 😭🤚 (Movie is School Sprits)

[@tylerthecreatorsdadREAL]

Best show everrrrr

[@boots3372]

I promise you that you've changed the entire lives of certain people because of this song. Their entire life.

[@fiona-zn3ln]

i’ll never forget hearing this song live. it was the first time i had heard it or anything by lizzy and it was just. otherworldly
