Blue Christmas
조관우 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear
If you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
The song "Blue Christmas" by 조관우 talks about the feeling of loneliness and heartbreak during the Christmas season after the end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics express the singer's emotional state, particularly regarding the absence of their loved one during the holidays. The first line, "I'll have a blue Christmas without you" sets the mood and the theme for the entire song where the singer will feel blue or sad without the person they love. The second line highlights the idea that just the thought of this person generates the feeling of sadness.
The third line refers to the decorations that are typically seen during Christmas, red on a green tree. However, these decorations won't be enough to bring joy and happiness to the singer because the person they love won't be there to share it with them. The fourth line repeats this sentiment and adds "if you're not here with me." So, even if the decorations are favorable, they won't be special without the singer's loved one.
In the second verse, the blue snowflakes represent the sadness that comes with the reminiscing of memories with the loved one. The snowflakes and the memories are inseparable. The next two lines contrast the singer to the loved one, suggesting that while the loved one may be okay and happy, the singer would have a blue Christmas. The song concludes by repeating the last two lines, indicating that the loved one's presence would make all the difference in making the season joyful again.
