Id
Avicii feat. Chris Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're in the arctic cold all year
Makin' toys to bring down here
It can't be easy loadin' up that sleigh
Well you know I've always wondered why
You've got that twinkle in your eye
cnd how you keep that big smile on your face
Well I've outgrown the jingle bells
cnd all the rednosed reindeer tales
You sly old dog, I've figured out the truth
You may have the public snowed
But you ain't got me fooled
If I knew where all the bad girls lived
Well, I'd be jolly too
I'm convinced the answer is
Gettin' in that secret list
Think it's time you spread the joy around
Oh I'll gladly help you check it twice
I'll take naughty, you take nice
I'll keep them company when you're out of town (I sure will)
Well I've outgrown the jingle bells
cnd all the rednosed reindeer tales
You sly old dog, I've figured out the truth
You may have the public snowed
But you ain't got me fooled
If I knew where all the bad girls lived
Man, I'd be jolly too (oh I would)
cll I want
In a big red bow
Is some mistletoe, and a couple of ho ho hoe's
Well I've outgrown the jingle bells
cnd all the rednosed reindeer tales
You sly old dog, I've figured out the truth
You may have the public snowed
But you ain't got me fooled
If I knew where all the bad girls lived
Yeah, I'd be jolly too
If I knew where all the bad girls lived
Well, I'd be jolly too
The lyrics to "ID" by Avicii feat. Chris Martin are a playful and light-hearted take on the concept of Santa Claus and the idea of being naughty or nice. The song starts with the singer addressing Santa and acknowledging the difficult task he has in delivering toys to children. The lyrics highlight the singer's curiosity about Santa's cheerful disposition and how he manages to keep a smile on his face.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals a realization that they have outgrown the traditional notions of Christmas with jingle bells and stories of reindeer. They imply that they have figured out the truth behind Santa Claus and his public image. While the rest of the world may be fooled, the singer claims to know where all the "bad girls" live and suggests that if they were in Santa's position, they too would be jolly.
The overall tone of the song is lighthearted and humorous, with the singer playfully poking fun at the clichés and traditional imagery associated with Christmas. The lyrics also carry a hint of rebellion or a desire to break away from the innocence and naivety of childhood, suggesting that the singer is ready for a more adult-oriented holiday experience.
