December
Clara Benin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it the coolness of the air or the lights everywhere?
Parties to attend to laughter never ends
Is anybody there to be more than friends?
Children and strangers
All learn to be one
Fathers and daughters
Oh December, you have a way of bringing out the best in us
Forgotten what its like to be a child
To list down all my dreams
Sit on your lap, are you still listening?
Cause when you get older life gets colder
Sometimes I just wanna hit the pause but I'm afraid
I'll never press play again
Children and strangers
All learn to be one
Fathers and daughters
Recall what its like to be loved
Oh December, you have a way of bringing out the best in us
Oh December, how I wish you could stay longer
Oh December, tell me, does it get any better
Oh December, why do you have to go by so fast
The lyrics to Clara Beninβs song βDecemberβ describe the feelings and experiences that we often associate with the holiday season. The singer wonders what it is about this time of the year that makes it so magicalβperhaps itβs the cold weather or the abundance of lights and decorations. She reflects on the joyousness of the season, attending parties and never-ending laughter, but also acknowledges the yearning for a deeper connection with others. The repetition of the phrase βChildren and strangersβ highlights this desire for unity and understanding, as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate.
The song then takes a more melancholic turn, as Benin laments the passing of time and the loss of innocence that comes with growing up. She imagines sitting on someoneβs lap, expressing her dreams and desires, but wonders if anyone is still listening now that she is older. The final lines of the song express a fear of losing the beauty and happiness of the season, and the singer wishes that December could last forever.
Overall, the lyrics of βDecemberβ capture the bittersweet nature of the holiday season, as we are swept up in the joy and cheer but also feel the weight of the passing year and the uncertainty of the future.
