Discover the story of the song > Reconstruction Site – The Weakerthans

The protagonist feels lost and afraid like a leaky boat tied to a car roof in the dark snow. He realizes that he needs to let go of his misery and stop chasing happiness at last call. The song talks about how beauty is difficult to define, and the protagonist reflects on how he broke like a joke at a wedding in 1972, leading to a realization about mortality and the fleeting nature of time.
