Last Christmas
DJ Santa Claus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you, " I meant it
Now, I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
"Last Christmas" by DJ Santa Claus is a heartfelt song about unrequited love and the pain of past heartbreak. The singer reminisces on a past Christmas when they gave their heart to someone, only to have it given away the very next day. This year, they are determined to save themselves from the pain and tears by giving their heart to someone special.
The lyrics indicate that the singer has been hurt in the past, expressing a sense of caution with the phrase "once bitten and twice shy." Despite trying to keep their distance, they still find themselves drawn to this person who broke their heart. The singer wonders if this person even recognizes them after a year has passed, but deep down, they are not surprised by their lack of acknowledgment.
The song suggests that the singer sends a Christmas gift to this person, wrapped up with a note expressing their love. However, they acknowledge that they have been foolish in the past and are aware that if they were to be deceived once again with a kiss, they would easily fall for it. This reveals the vulnerability and longing the singer still feels, despite the pain they have experienced.
The lyrics also depict the singer in a crowded room, where they are hiding and trying to avoid this person with a cold and unfeeling presence, described as having a "soul of ice." The singer had believed that they could rely on this person, playing the role of a supportive shoulder to cry on. But now, they have found real love and are confident that they will not be fooled again.
In the end, the singer expresses hope for the future, acknowledging that they may find someone special next year to give their heart to. This indicates that they are open to new love and are willing to take a chance despite the pain they have endured in the past. The song captures the bittersweet emotions of heartbreak and the resilience to seek love once again.
Line by Line Meaning
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
During the previous Christmas, I wholeheartedly gave you my love and affection
But the very next day you gave it away
But just a day after, you easily discarded and abandoned my love
This year, to save me from tears
To protect myself from getting hurt and emotional pain this year
I'll give it to someone special
I will give my love to someone who truly deserves and appreciates it
Once bitten and twice shy
Having been hurt before, I am now cautious and hesitant
I keep my distance
I am maintaining a safe emotional distance from you
But you still catch my eye
Nevertheless, you still manage to attract my attention
Tell me, baby
I wonder, my dear
Do you recognize me?
Do you remember who I am?
Well, it's been a year
It has already been a year since our last encounter
It doesn't surprise me
I am not surprised by the lack of recognition
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
In the spirit of Christmas, I carefully packaged and delivered my love
With a note saying, 'I love you, ' I meant it
Accompanied by a heartfelt message expressing my genuine love for you
Now, I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize how foolish I have been
But if you kissed me now
However, if you were to kiss me at this moment
I know you'd fool me again
I am aware that you would deceive me once more
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
In a room filled with people, surrounded by tired and worn-out friends
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
I am purposely avoiding you and your cold, heartless demeanor
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
My goodness, I believed you were a dependable and trustworthy person
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
As for me, I suppose I was simply someone you sought solace and comfort from
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Initially, I appeared as a passionate and devoted lover
A man under cover but you tore me apart
However, you eventually revealed my true vulnerable self and shattered me emotionally
Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Now, I have discovered a genuine love that will never deceive me again
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
Perhaps in the following year, I will offer my love to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Someone who holds a special place in my heart
