Christmas
Acid House Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to leave
You will not miss me
I want to go
From here to something
Something else
Something better
Something I can call my own
Christmas time
The snow is white and so are you
Christmas time
You have a warmth inside you

Tell me if
Your saddest feeling
Is when you hear
That I'm here for you
You're something else
Something special
Something I call my own

'Cause it's the sweetest dream
It's my weakest thought
This is the brightest light

Christmas time
The snow is white and so are you




Christmas time
You have a warmth inside you

Overall Meaning

The song "Christmas In" by Acid House Kings is a melancholic yet hopeful take on the holiday season. The lyrics talk about the desire to leave something behind and find something better. The singer wants to go from where they are to something they can call their own. The lyrics also reveal a sense of longing for connection and warmth. Christmas time is used as a metaphor to represent a time of hope, love, and togetherness. The snow, which is white and pure, represents a clean slate, a new beginning. The warmth that the singer feels inside the person they address in the second stanza represents the feeling of connection and belonging.


The song’s title and lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, but one interesting theory is that the song is about leaving behind the past and embracing the future. The line "tell me if your saddest feeling is when you hear that I'm here for you" suggests that the singer feels like they are holding the other person back. The other person may feel obligated to stay because of the singer's presence. The lyrics then suggest that the singer wants to find their own way and set the other person free to pursue their own dreams. The chorus, with its joyful tone and imagery of snow and warmth, represents the hope that Christmas time brings. It’s a time of forgiveness, healing, and new beginnings.
