I have always found Execution Day as deep as Objects is. Why?
"Send for the iceman, my temperature is startin' to rise
I've heard it before, I know the truth from the lies"
To me it means he was affraid of his father but he knew he is no nobody.
"Is it any wonder, heaven's racked with thunder
and all of my dreams go under
like the fallin' rain"
But all of the negative words his father used had destroyed his dreams.
"Don't touch me now
Won't let you crucify me
You ain't no damn jury
You can't pass sentence on me"
Meat is against his father's attitude.
"Where's the promsised they preached for this land
Standin' with their bibles clutched in their hand"
As far as I know Meat's mother was religious. I can imagine that Meat spent a lot of time in church when he was child and now he is totally disappointed.
"Father my hand's are shakin'
I see a light that's breakin'
Show me a way to set my soul free"
The only sentence what is not about his father. It's a pray about leaving bad memories back.
For me this song is about his father, his childhood and their relationship. One of the deepest song of his career.
