Neat Christmas
A Neat Christmas: Finding Solace and Joy Amidst Change
Lyrics
I know you're here to pick up the dog
I acknowledge your presence to pick up the dog.
But maybe stay a bit more
Suggesting to stay longer, indicating a desire for company.
This year was long and rough on us all
Reflecting on a challenging and lengthy year for both individuals.
We both deserve a stiff pour
Suggesting a need for a strong drink as a reward or coping mechanism.
Can I convince you to cancel the splash
Requesting to reconsider taking a shower ("splash") to preserve the alcohol's strength.
That water will wear down the proof
Explaining that water can dilute the alcohol, affecting its potency.
Let's you and me get drunk off our ass
Proposing to get heavily intoxicated together.
And listen for hooves on the roof
Suggesting a playful activity – listening for Santa's reindeer on the roof.
Let's have a neat Christmas, like we used to
Expressing a desire for a simple and enjoyable Christmas, reminiscent of the past.
All three of us, just like it was
Reinforcing the idea of a harmonious Christmas with all involved parties.
Let's have a neat Christmas, don't you want to?
Pleading for agreement on having a delightful Christmas despite changes.
I've changed a ton you'll see
Hinting at personal growth and transformation.
Let's have a neat Christmas
Reiterating the desire for a pleasant and uncomplicated Christmas.
I understand, no I'm totally great, you're seeing someone and that's fine
Accepting the reality of the other person seeing someone new.
Hey will you pass over your glass, I'm pouring the rest into mine
Casually asking for more to drink, possibly to cope with the situation.
No! I'm not angry, my throat's really dry, the roads will be shit ya'll should go
Denying anger but expressing a need to drink due to emotional discomfort.
You've got the dog and that new friend me? I've got booze and the snow
Highlighting individual choices—dog and new friend for the visitor, alcohol and solitude for the speaker.
Sounds like a neat Christmas on my lonesome,
Envisioning a solitary, organized, and enjoyable Christmas for the speaker.
On my top shelf with nobody else
Emphasizing the speaker's contentment with solitude and high-quality alcohol.
Sounds like a neat Christmas here without you
Expressing satisfaction with the idea of a Christmas without the visitor.
Wait, that sounds kinda nice.
Realizing the appeal of a Christmas alone.
I could have it all, I could have it all to myself
Concluding with the speaker considering the benefits of spending Christmas alone.
