Ronnette my dear don't ever disappear
Do what you want as long as you stay here
I need you now, I love you so much
More than you could know

The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live

You'll change your name or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know

Appearing unsightly with devils inside me

If you ever try to leave me I'll find you Ronnie

I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now
I'm going to escape but you won't know how
Or where to find me when I'm gone
I'd drink myself to death inside this prison cell

So get me out of here

You'll change your name or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind
But I'll know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Christmas Kids" by ROAR reflect a sense of desperation and need for love and connection. The first verse is addressed to "Ronnette," who is urged to stay and live life to the fullest, but to never disappear. The singer expresses their love and need for Ronnette, highlighting how much she means to them. The second verse shifts focus to the "Christmas kids," who are described as a gift. The idea of love as a tower where all can live is introduced, suggesting that love provides strength and support for individuals. The third verse seems to have a darker undertone, with the singer warning Ronnette not to leave them, and to never try to escape. The singer admits to having "devils inside" and is afraid of what would happen if Ronnette were to leave. The final verse sees Ronnette expressing her intention to leave, to escape the "fucked up place" they are in. The singer pleads with her to take them with her, suggesting they are trapped in their current situation and need a way out.

Overall, "Christmas Kids" seems to be a song about the search for connection and the fear of abandonment. The singer recognizes the importance of love and connection, but is also scared of losing it. The song has a poignant, melancholic tone, reflecting the emotions behind the lyrics.

The story is about phil and Ronnie Spector, (her being mentioned in the song, also an 60s pop-star,) to cut it short, phil was abusive to ronnie, and often threatened her to death if she ever tried to leave him. The lyrics said
"You can change your name or change your mind" Because she couldn't change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie. The song is called "Christmas Kids" because Phil Spector adopted 3 children as a Christmas
"Gift" and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He got the kids so he could make Ronnie emotionally attached to them so she wouldn't leave. He also threatened Ronnie Spector with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He also took her shoe's so she couldn't escape that easy. She luckily escaped threw a broken window. Veronica Yvette Bennett. (Her full name) 1943-2022.

This song so perfectly encapsulates what being in an abusive household is like. You never feel safe, it always feels like they're there, it feels inescapable. Yet, it also encapsulates the strange "nostalgia" of it all. All of the happy memories stained by the overwhelming amount of bad ones. It really is a lovely little song.

Rest in peace, Ronnie.

This song isn't what you think.
It sounds friendly but it's dark.

Ronnette was 17 and Phil was 24 when they started dating. They were having a normal relationship for a little and after that friendly relationship, Phil physically and emotionally abused Ronnie spector. Phil spector got 3 Childern known as the Christmas kids to keep her from emotionally running away. She tried to change herself but everyone would've known her, including Phil spector. Phil took away her shoes so she couldn't run away. Later she found her shoes and managed to escape through a window leaving Phil spector and the 3 of the kids in the house. Ronnette died at 78 in 2022 and Phil died at 81 in 2021 after torturing Ronnette.

The song is based on real events. This was the story of Phil and Ronnie Spector. Phil worked with a bunch of famous artists one of them was named Ronnie they had a very abusive relationship. The song is called "Christmas Kids" because Phil adopted children as a Christmas "Gift" to try to fix their relationship. However he did not care about them in the slightest and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He primarily got them to stop Ronnie from leaving him. This didn’t fix things so he locked her inside, put barbed wire around their mansion, and bars on the windows. The line "You can change your name or change your mind" meant that she couldn't change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie and the last name gave her so much legitimacy that she couldn’t be successful without it. She tried to drink herself to death, but she ended up in Alcoholics Anonymous, they helped give her the courage to try to escape. He threatened Ronnie with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He then took her shoes so she couldn't escape as easily. Luckily one of the windows broke and she managed to squeeze herself through the broken window and escape. Unfortunately she lost everything in the divorce including the children, however luckily she managed to sue him for a lot of money. Phil ended up getting caught on other charges and he went to prison. Phil died in 2021 of Covid. And Ronnette died in 2022 at the age of 78 of cancer.

TLDR: Ronnie was in a very abusive relationship, Phil threatened her and that’s what the song is about.

@@joshua680 Phil was very overprotective, possessive, and overall just an abusive guy. Ronnie was very openly unhappy about the situation, so Phil kept trying to “win her back” before she left him. He even gave her two children from a local orphanage as a “Christmas present” eventually he gave up trying to keep her willingly so he just imprisoned and gaslight her in her own home.

To everyone saying how cheery this song sounds, I find it very interesting from a musical perspective. I haven’t quite looks at the written music, but from what I can hear it’s filled with 2nds (especially at the higher parts) and 5ths which are both respectively tense/ hollow intervals which create unease or dissonance. Which, combined when combined with the rest of the song kinda just gets passed off as passing tones so it still sounds good in context. I think that really adds on to the message or the backstory of the song too, a realtionship that may have looked good at first glance or an outsider looking in but upon further investigation is sick. Really love this song, and the creativity behind it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This song to me is not dark, just very sad. The whole story about Phil's abuse on such a beautiful pop singer Ronnie and the fact that maybe the best producer of all time was like this is thrilling and sad. I am glad that Ronnie escaped this. RIP Ronnie 1943-2022🙏🏿

I just randomly remembered this song and planning to use it since my cousin passed away 3 days ago due to ending her life. I only met her 3 times and never knew her a whole lot but she was the sweetest and prettiest soul I have ever seen and met. Only 18 years lived, I cried for her and just wish she just gave herself more time to think of the many opportunities she could have. I miss her so much ❤, I just wish she didn’t think that she had to have everything in the world.

To all new people, this song has a back story. It references Phil Specter who was popular for his 60s wall spund production married to a popular singer Ronnie, part of the Group The Ronnettes. While they’ve been married Phil has been very abusive to Ronnie and threatens Ronnie if she tries to leave the house. In the start of the song, “Ronnette my dear, Don’t ever dissapear.” Is Phil singing telling Ronnie that she can’t leave without shoes which kept her trapped in their house and the lyrics “The christmas kids were nothing but a gift” Is Phil adopting kids for Ronnie’s christmas gifts which made the name of the Song “Christmas Kids”. That is all I know about the dark, traumatizing backstory of Phil Specter and Ronnie.
