Wrapped in White
Escaping Yuletide Echoes: Embracing a Silent Snowy Retreat
Lyrics
I've had my fill of Christmas cheer
I am tired of the typical Christmas joy and celebration.
Send me somewhere far from here
I want to be somewhere far away from here.
(Far) From the shoppers in their droves
Away from the crowds of shoppers.
Doing battle in the street
Avoiding the chaos and conflicts on the streets.
From the air so sickly sweet
Distanced from the overly sweet-smelling air.
Full of cinnamon and cloves
The air is filled with the scents of cinnamon and cloves.
(Far) From the sentiment and slush
Avoiding sentimental and overly emotional situations.
Take me somewhere cold and clear
Take me to a place that is cold and clear.
Somewhere easy on the ear
A place with soothing and pleasant sounds.
Frozen in a winter's hush
Desiring a tranquil atmosphere frozen in winter's silence.
If I close my eyes tight
If I shut my eyes tightly...
Will I wake to a world wrapped in white?
Hoping to wake up in a world covered in white (snow).
Where the shouts and scuffles are muffled
Where noises and conflicts are softened and muted.
By a blanket of new-fallen snow
By a layer of freshly fallen snow.
Let it fall and let me go
Expressing a desire for the snow to fall and set the person free.
(Far) From the twenty festive hits
Away from the repetitive and commercialized festive songs.
Played each day a thousand times
Songs played repeatedly throughout the holiday season.
From the jingle bells and chimes
Trying to escape the cliché sounds of bells and chimes.
Decking all the halls with glitz
Avoiding the excessive decoration and glamour of the halls.
(Far) From the flashing fairy lights
Distancing from the bright and blinking fairy lights.
Bleeping electronic toys
Avoiding noisy electronic toys.
Nothing white except the noise
Everything is noisy except for the color white.
Of the never-silent nights
Nights are never silent due to the noise.
If I close my eyes tight
If I shut my eyes tightly...
Will I wake to a world wrapped in white?
Hoping to wake up in a world covered in white (snow).
Where the shouts and scuffles are muffled
Where noises and conflicts are softened and muted.
By a blanket of new-fallen snow
By a layer of freshly fallen snow.
Let it fall and let me go
Expressing a desire for the snow to fall and set the person free.
Let it fall and let me go
Repetition emphasizing the wish for freedom through snowfall.
Let it fall, let me go
Reiteration of the desire for the snow to fall and allow escape.
Let it fall, let me go
Continued emphasis on the wish to be released through snowfall.
Let it fall and let me go
Repeated plea for the snow to fall and grant freedom.
