Unhappy Holidays
Lonely Holiday Reflections: Unhappy Festive Seasons by Krystal Evette
Lyrics
The holiday season, it brings so much gloom
The holiday season is a source of sadness and gloom.
I feel isolated in the most crowded room
Despite being in a crowded room, there's a feeling of isolation.
Nobody wants me, they all feel the same
Expresses a sense of universal rejection and loneliness.
In private remarks are where you'll hear my name
Personal recognition comes through private, possibly negative, remarks.
Terrible Christmas and sadly new years
Both Christmas and New Year's are described as terrible.
Alone on these days, I'll drink to that, cheers
The speaker plans to drink alone during these days.
Why won't they love me for who I am now
Yearning for acceptance for one's true self.
But it's not their fault cuz they don't know how
Recognizes that lack of love may be due to others' ignorance rather than malice.
Unhappy holidays, from you to me
Summarizes the negative emotions during the holidays, directed from others to the speaker.
I wish everybody would just leave me be
The speaker wishes to be left alone by everyone.
Alone with the snow and the chill of the night
Describes the solitude in the snowy night.
Just intoxication and the moon shining bright
Indicates reliance on intoxication and the moon for company.
Wrapped up in sweaters, but hearts are still cold
Despite outward appearance, emotions remain cold and distant.
Smile for the pictures and do what you're told
Reflects the expectation to conform to societal norms, even if it's a facade.
Mom doesn't love me and dad is far gone
Describes a lack of parental love and the absence of the father.
The smiles in the air here just feel like a con
Perceives the festive atmosphere as insincere and deceptive.
Terrible Christmas and sadly New Year's
Reiterates the negativity of Christmas and New Year's.
Alone on these days, I'll drink to that, cheers
Plans to drink alone during these days, emphasizing the loneliness.
Why won't they love me for who i am now
Repeats the desire for acceptance for the current self.
But it's not their fault cuz they don't know how
Understands that lack of understanding is not necessarily malicious.
Unhappy holidays, from you to me
Reiterates the negative emotions during the holidays, directed from others to the speaker.
I wish everybody would just leave me be
Expresses the strong desire for solitude during this time.
Alone with the snow and the chill of the night
Highlights the loneliness in the snowy night.
Just intoxication and the moon shining bright
Reliance on intoxication and the moon for companionship is repeated.
How do I make family, lord please show me how
Asks for guidance in building a true family, as being ignored is emotionally overwhelming.
Cuz being ignored just makes the room so loud
Being ignored creates emotional turbulence in the speaker.
I'm trapped in this blizzard, just stuck in the storm
Metaphorically trapped in a storm, seeking warmth from others.
All I want is people to make me feel warm
Expresses the fundamental desire for human connection and warmth.
