Christmas at Home
Solitary Glee: A Heartwarming Christmas Tale
Lyrics
Throw on another log the fire's getting low
Adding more wood to the fire because it's burning low
Bake the goods and pour the drinks the folks are on the road
Cooking and preparing drinks as family members are on their way
With so much care and so much love everything wrapped in bows
Everything is carefully prepared and presented with love, wrapped as gifts
But none of it matters cause this year I'm all alone
Despite the festive setup, the speaker feels alone this year, making everything insignificant
Hanging lights and decorations putting up the tree
Decorating the house with lights and setting up the Christmas tree
Usually the family helps but this year it's just me
Traditionally, family helps with decorations, but this year the speaker is doing it alone
cnd the only voices in the house come from the tv screen
The only sounds are from the television, emphasizing the absence of family voices
Oh but mom and dad don't shed tear for me
The speaker feels the absence of parental empathy, noting that they don't cry for the speaker's loneliness
Cause It's all that I ever wanted yeah
Expressing contentment as this is what the speaker wished for
cnd there's no escaping from it
Feeling trapped or unable to avoid the situation
No one around and nothing to do
Alone with no one present and nothing specific to occupy the time
I've never been so cheery yeah
Despite being alone, the speaker feels unusually cheerful
c yuletide with no one near me
A festive time without anyone nearby
Thank God it's Christmas at home this year
Expressing gratitude for having Christmas at home despite the solitude
The only lines I'm gonna see on Christmas Eve
Repeated lines conveying the same emotions of contentment and gratitude despite being alone during Christmas
cre stretched across the sleeping face of good ‘ol grandpa Steve
-While grandma does her best to keep our call pulled up on zoom
-But ever since that reindeer incident she's lost a step or two
-The snow is falling now, the picture's so serene
-cnd best of all no screaming kids or hammered cunt Irene
-ct this point I don't even care what's underneath the tree
-The world has given me the gift of solitary glee
-It's all that I ever wanted yeah
-cnd there's no escaping from it
-No one around and nothing to do
-I've never been so cheery yeah
-c yuletide with no one near me
-Thank God for Christmas at home this year
-It's all that I ever wanted yeah
-cnd there's no escaping from it
-No one around and nothing to do
-I've never been so cheery
-c yuletide with no one near me
-Thank God (thank God) it's Christmas at home this year
-woooaaaahhh
An exclamation expressing relief or gratitude
Oh thank God
Reiterating the relief and gratitude for being home for Christmas
It's Christmas at home this year
Expressing gratitude and relief again for being home during Christmas
oooh
