Independence Day
December's Liberation: Unveiling the Hidden Depths of Independence Day
Lyrics
Independence Day is here
Independence Day is occurring
But it’s in December, not in July this year
But it's happening in December, not in July this year
And there’s a fireworks display
There's a display of fireworks
But it’s not the good kind so I should get away
However, the fireworks are not the enjoyable kind, so I should leave
I don’t want the kids to know
I don't want the children to know
Tell them it’s for work, and I have to go with all my gear
Tell them I'm leaving for work, taking all my equipment
And yeah, I’ll be there Christmas Eve
I'll be present on Christmas Eve
But as soon as dinner’s done... and dessert... I’ll leave
However, right after dinner and dessert, I'll depart
Because you’re colder than South Minnesota
Because you (someone) are emotionally distant, similar to the extreme cold in South Minnesota
And you’re farther away than the sun
And you (someone) are physically distant, farther away than the sun
How’d we get here
Questioning how the situation reached this point
Coming where we were coming from?
Reflecting on the journey from our previous circumstances to now
Nobody told us when we were young
No one informed us when we were young
That when we got this old we’d still be dumb
Realizing that despite aging, we still lack wisdom
I’ll pick up my vinyl soon
I'll retrieve my vinyl records soon
But as it is right now I just haven’t got the room
Currently, I lack space to accommodate them
And if you need help with the tile
If you need assistance with the tile
I could come by Thursday, and maybe stay awhile...
I could come on Thursday and stay for some time
Because I’m colder than South Minnesota
Because I (someone) am emotionally distant, similar to the extreme cold in South Minnesota
And you’re farther away than the sun
And you (someone) are physically distant, farther away than the sun
How’d we get here
Questioning how the situation reached this point
Coming where we were coming from?
Reflecting on the journey from our previous circumstances to now
I’m older than Handel's Messiah
I am older than Handel's Messiah (or suggesting considerable age)
And you’re hotter than heat from the sun
And you (someone) are emotionally intense, hotter than heat from the sun
How’d we get here
Questioning how the situation reached this point
Coming where we were coming from?
Reflecting on the journey from our previous circumstances to now
