My December★
★Linkin Park Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December

This is me alone

And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things that I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

Overall Meaning

The song "My December" by Linkin Park can be interpreted as a melancholic reflection of the artist's emotional state during the holiday season. The first stanza establishes a sense of isolation, as the artist declares that December is their time of the year and that they are alone in their snow-covered home. This sense of isolation is further emphasized in the second stanza, where the artist laments that they wish they didn't feel like they missed something and regrets the things they said to someone to make them feel bad.

Despite this sense of sadness and isolation, the artist finds solace in their own dreams, which are metaphorically covered in snow. The artist admits to pretending but asserts that it is all they need. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea, with the artist willing to give everything away just to have somewhere to go and someone to come home to.

Overall, "My December" is a poignant reflection on the conflicting emotions that can arise during the holiday season, including loneliness and the desire for human connection.
