Xmas
Snowfall of Regret: Jesse Malin's Heartfelt Reflection on Love Lost during Christmas
Lyrics
Christmas is coming down
Anticipation of Christmas approaching
Ten dollar bill in my pocket
Having a ten-dollar bill in the pocket
I let my baby down
Feeling regret for disappointing a loved one
I want to blast off like a rocket
Expressing a desire for a quick and exciting escape
People are on my way
Encountering obstacles or challenges from others
Children await the surprise
Children eagerly anticipating Christmas surprises
I tried to hide my face
Trying to avoid facing the consequences of one's actions
I tried to stop my eyes
Attempting to hold back tears or emotions
I made my baby cry
Causing emotional pain to a significant other
I made her say goodbye
Resulting in a farewell from the loved one
And the winter keeps coming back
Symbolizing recurring emotional coldness or difficulty
As the rain begins to fall
Metaphorically describing a gloomy emotional state
And I know you're not coming back
Acknowledging the permanent absence of a person
But I had to make the call
Making a difficult decision or choice
You say you're not far away
Claiming physical distance but expressing a desire to remain connected
You want to stay in touch
Expressing a wish to maintain communication
Well I could blame this holiday
Suggesting the holiday as a potential source of blame
But I miss you much too much
Expressing overwhelming feelings of missing someone
I tried to make it clean
Attempting to make a situation clear or resolved
Something inside wouldn't listen
Facing internal resistance or conflict
My angel we walked in the snow
Recalling a shared experience with a loved one
I woke from the dream you were missing
Waking from a dream where the loved one is absent
I made my baby cry
Repeating the theme of causing emotional pain
I made her say goodbye
Resulting in a final goodbye from the loved one
And the winter keeps coming back
Reiterating the theme of emotional coldness or difficulty
As the snow begins to fall
Describing a somber atmosphere as snow falls
And I know you're not coming back
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of the decision made
But I had to make the call
Reaffirming the difficulty of the decision
Maybe you're with someone else
Speculating on the possibility of the loved one being with someone else
And he's holding you tight
Imagining the loved one being comforted by someone else
My reindeer that disappeared
Mentioning a mysterious disappearance or absence
I still hope you're alright
Expressing concern for the well-being of the loved one
Christmas is coming down
Reiterating the approach of Christmas
People are on my way
Encountering obstacles or challenges from others (repeated theme)
It was sunny when I got out
Recalling a sunny moment upon leaving
To the street where the trees all lay
Describing a street with fallen trees
Christmas is coming down
Reiterating the theme of Christmas approaching
