Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve Revelations: Rediscovering Life's Joys
Lyrics
Once again it's Christmas Eve
Expressing the recurrence of Christmas Eve
cnd I know you
Addressing someone (possibly a personified entity)
You've had something up your sleeve
Suggesting anticipation or expectation of a surprise
For the last three years, you have left me cold
Reflecting on a period of emotional detachment or coldness
‘Twas not so long ago
Recalling a past time
When I was old
Contrasting with feeling old in the past
cnd I was trying to hold to you
Expressing an attempt to hold onto something
But you would not let me, I did not know
Reflecting on a lack of awareness or understanding in the past
Now, now I feel so young
Describing a newfound sense of youthfulness
cnd if I'm free, this is all I need
Emphasizing the freedom and contentment found in the present
You, you can slip away
Addressing the possibility of someone slipping away
cnd I will stay, I will celebrate
Committing to celebrating despite potential separation
Me, me I'm not alone
Expressing a sense of companionship
I'm with friends
Affirming the presence of friends
I'm not wandering far,
Indicating a limited distance from home
Far away from home, away from home
Repeating the theme of being away from home
Here, here the walls are strong
Describing the strength of surroundings
cnd you know me, you know I may be wrong
Acknowledging the possibility of personal error
But I, I feel like I have died
Expressing a transformative experience of feeling like dying
cnd when I did, I learned to be alive
Highlighting the lesson learned in embracing life
When, when the dark is close
Reflecting on the proximity of darkness
Now I know, I can wink and smile
Asserting the ability to face challenges with a positive attitude
Near, oh so near, to my home
Emphasizing closeness to home
Once again it's Christmas Eve
Reiterating the occurrence of Christmas Eve
cnd I know you
Addressing someone again
You've got something up your sleeve
Anticipating another surprise or revelation
But you can slip away
Acknowledging the potential for separation
cnd I will stay; I will celebrate
Committing to celebrating despite potential challenges
Near, oh so near, to my home
Reaffirming the closeness to home
