Xmas Trees
Congratulatory Flames: A Dive into Love, Regret, and Christmas Trees
Lyrics
You make my blood boil
You evoke strong emotions in me.
Like a vodka shot, hotly flowing through my veins
Intense feelings, likened to the warmth of vodka, course through my veins.
It's the same, it's an ancient feeling
The emotional experience is timeless and ancient.
Like a ghost when I hear your name
Thinking of you brings back a haunting presence, like a ghost.
You know the way to burn me at the stake
You know how to hurt me deeply.
Tie my hands to the candles on my fifteenth birthday cake
A metaphorical reference to vulnerability, tying hands to birthday candles.
Pour the gas, light a match, step away, and just like that
An imagery of setting fire to a situation, leading to a sudden change.
I'm up in flames
I am consumed by intense emotions or consequences.
Congratulations, something stayed the same
Despite the changes, something remains constant.
You were born to win, it's always been this way
Your nature is to be a winner, unchanging over time.
Now I'm underwater cursing your name
Feeling submerged and expressing frustration toward you.
And you're having dreams of drowning me
You, in turn, dream of causing harm to me.
I'm underwater
Continuation of the underwater theme, emphasizing emotional depth.
I'm having dreams of drowning
Both parties dream of drowning, signifying shared distress.
Congratulations
A sarcastic congratulatory remark on the situation.
You hate the Christmas trees hanging from the dash
Dislike for Christmas trees as a symbol, possibly related to past events.
What's the matter? They remind you of the past
Suggesting that Christmas trees trigger memories or emotions.
'Cause now it's me laughing in the passenger's seat
Switch in power dynamics, with the singer now in a happier position.
Where you wish you sat
A suggestion that the other person regrets their choices.
Congratulations, I've engraved your name
Permanently associating the other person with a particular memory.
Is this what you want? To be haunted by fame?
Questioning if the pursuit of fame is worth the haunting consequences.
Now I'm underwater, he's on thin ice
The other person is in a precarious situation.
You're having dreams of killing me twice
Continued dreams of harm, illustrating ongoing emotional turmoil.
I'm having dreams of drowning
Reiteration of dreams involving drowning, emphasizing the theme.
Congratulations, what am I supposed to say?
Acknowledging the awkwardness and difficulty in responding.
I've never felt worse, you put a curse upon New Year's Day
Feeling the impact of a curse on a traditionally celebratory day.
Now I'm keying his car, but you are the one I blame
Expressing anger through destructive actions, blaming the other person.
Because somewhere down deep, you and me are exactly the same
Recognizing a deep similarity between the singer and the other person.
Now I'm underwater, I'm underwater
Reiterating the feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed.
You got your dream of drowning me
The other person's desire for the singer's downfall materializes in dreams.
I'm underwater
Repetition of the submerged state, emphasizing the emotional depth.
I got my dream of drowning
The singer's dream of drowning, possibly reflecting a desire for escape.
I'm underwater, I'm underwater, I'm underwater
Continued emphasis on feeling overwhelmed and submerged.

I'm underwater
Repetition of the singer's dream of drowning, maintaining the theme.
