Christmas
Beat Happening Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had sex on Christmas
I had sex three times today
Three different women taught be how to be bored in their own separate, sweet, little ways

I feel like hell on Christmas
And I feel like hell today
I feel like Hell
When I wake-up, I can tell that I'm never gonna make you stay

Okay, here it goes

I didn't get no presents on Christmas
And I sure didn't get none today
Learned my lesson
Life is one long session of disappointment, heartache, pain

Disappointment
Heartache
Pain





And despair

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beat Happening's song "Christmas" express a cynical and disillusioned perspective on the holiday season. The singer's opening lines are confrontational and provocative, announcing that they had sex on Christmas and with three different people throughout the day. This declaration is followed by a series of observations about the singer's emotional state: they feel like hell on Christmas and every day, waking up each morning with the knowledge that their partner has left them.


The next verse continues in this despondent tone, with the singer lamenting the lack of presents they received on Christmas and the criticism they have received for their behavior. However, the most striking aspect of the song is its chorus, consisting of three words: "Disappointment, heartache, pain". This repetition emphasizes the cyclical nature of the singer's emotional landscape, which is filled with pain and loneliness. The final word of the chorus, "despair", solidifies the sadness of the song, offering a bleak conclusion to the singer's reflections on the holiday season.
