Drop the Guillotine Lyrics

You said you didn't know her name yesterday
But now you've got her stayin' later on
In whispered press a lash is left on her cheek
Just brush it off, you got her feelin' weak

After practice, you were sitting on the lawn
While she was laughin' in the sun

You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me

I saw you lookin' back a lot yesterday
Thinkin' how could you get this goin' on
In whispered press her lips said, "Yes, dance with me"
Just pull her close, you got her feelin' weak

In the middle of darkness after everybody's gone
She'll be lookin' back at you for the dawn

You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me

You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me

What is the Meaning of Drop the Guillotine?

This track is a melancholic exploration of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The protagonist is infatuated with someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings, instead choosing to pursue someone else. The guillotine metaphor is used to represent the sudden, sharp pain felt when they see their love interest with another person. It's a poignant representation of the emotional turmoil one experiences in such situations. Despite the hurt, the protagonist chooses to endure the pain silently, wiping off his neck symbolizing his acceptance and resignation to his fate. The recurring phrase "You sure know how to kill me" encapsulates this feeling of heartbreak and devastation perfectly.
