Released as a single following Lizzy McAlpine’s 2021 EP, When The World Stopped Moving, “doomsday” is a departure — the inevitability of death and its acceptance as part of life. In other words, the end of a love for which Lizzy is planning her own funeral and that of a person she once loved.

[Verse 1]
Pull the plug in September
I don't wanna die in June
I’d like to start planning my funeral
I've got work to do, mmm
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
[Chorus]
Doomsday is close at hand
I'll book the marching band
To play as you speak
I'll feel like throwin' 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
[Verse 2]
Pull the plug, but be carеful
I don't wanna die too soon
I think there's good in you somеwhere
I’ll hang on 'til the chaos is through
[Chorus]
Doomsday is close at hand
I'll book the marching band
To play as you speak
I'll feel like throwin' 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Doomsday is close at hand
I booked the marching band
To play as you speak
I feel like throwin' 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

This song is about being in a relationship that is so toxic that you know it’s doomed and preparing yourself for that eventuality. It’s heavy in funeral imagery and metaphors because to me, heartbreak is like a small death, especially when it’s your first love. When he broke up with me I would actua...
