about

"Christmas" renders a common release that overrides the sense of nothingness brought on by isolation over the past two years. The track explores the emotional tension surrounding the time of year when we are forced to spend time with those who raised us while looking back on our growth (or lack thereof) from the year behind us. The song taps into realisations about our childish tendencies and how we might put expectations on those we love before we fulfil the expectations of ourselves.

lyrics


Oh, to look inside of my eye
And see only stars no planes
Makes the world feel faster all the same
And its heart feels larger
Than my pain

Head outside and
Get sick as soon as the sun goes down
Just to blow up in your face
You’ve wasted 7 years now
Well you know that you should be ashamed
You got a few more years to do nothing just the same

And if you think you can’t call on me
I’ll be so sorry
sometimes I wake up feeling like I might be nothing
And if you think you can’t call on me
I'll be so sorry
Sometimes I just think that I might be nothing

They said just like you to get drunk on Christmas
Pick yourself up babe, anyway, it ain’t nobody’s business
Disappeared into your room like a kid
If your friend hadn’t died I would’ve probably made you feel like you did

And if you think you can’t call on me
I’ll be so sorry
Sometimes I wake up feeling like I might be nothing
And if you think you can’t call on me
I'll be so angry
Sometimes I just think that I might be nothing
