It's Not Christmas
BROWN & GRAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm dreaming again
Snow never falls this time of year around here
But I'm dreaming again
Because it's not Christmas, no it's not Christmas
Not Christmas without you
It's been a long year and we all surely could use some rest
But it's hard to get to sleep
But I've never cared much for things
Because it's not Christmas, no it's not Christmas
Not Christmas without you
It's not Christmas, no it's not Christmas
Not Christmas without you
Maybe next year we'll be fine
After all, it is just time
But I'll still dream until it's here
Because it sure won't feel like Christmas this year
Because it's not Christmas, no it's not Christmas
Without you
The first verse of BROWN & GRAY's song "It's Not Christmas" sets the somber, reflective tone of the song. The singer sings about how even though there is a fire burning, they are still feeling lonesome and cold. They are dreaming once again, even though it's not the time of year when snow usually falls in their area. The sense of longing is palpable, especially when the singer repeats the phrase "it's not Christmas, no it's not Christmas / not Christmas without you." From this, we can infer that the song is about missing someone during the holiday season, possibly due to a break-up or distance from a loved one.
The second verse touches on the theme of reflection, as the singer notes that it's been a long year and everyone could use some rest, but they find it hard to sleep. The singer acknowledges the ups and downs of the past year, but emphasizes that they don't care much for material things. The chorus is repeated, with the same refrain of "not Christmas without you." The bridge is a glimmer of hope, as the singer admits that maybe next year things will be better, but for now they will continue to dream of being with their loved one during the holiday season. The final chorus repeats the same refrain as before, emphasizing that the holiday season doesn't feel complete without the special person they are missing.
