Read Full Bio ↴"December" is the fourth track from Dayglow's album "Harmony House".
Much of the album is about growing up and coping with change; after "Fuzzybrain", he left university and decided to fully commit to being a musician. During this time he found a collection of poetry in his family’s house that had been a favorite of his great-grandmother’s. A line of verse there became a lyric on “December,” his favorite song on the album: “So my friend, just remember every year has a December.”
December
Dayglow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But instead, you're just pacing 'round the room
'Cause what else is someone supposed to do
When yourself doesn't feel like it used to?
All these changes don't have to get so strange
So my friend, you just remember
There's gonna be days that you just pass right on through
But that's what seasons do, they change
Mm-mm, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, oh, oh, oh
Ba-da-da-da-da
So, what now? You've been talking like a palindrome
And somehow still don't know which way the story goes
But turns out, no one either seems to really know
Man, I've found sometimes I've just got to let things go
Because changes are what make up the time, yeah
Alright
So my friend, you just remember
That every year has its December
There's gonna be days that you just want something new
But that's what seasons do, they change
So my friend, you just remember
That every year has its December
There's gonna be days when you don't feel like you
But that's what seasons do, they change
The lyrics of Dayglow's song December reflect on the idea of change and how it affects an individual's mental and emotional state. The song portrays a conversation between two friends, where one person feels stuck and unsure of where their story is going. The other friend assures them that even though change can be daunting, it is necessary and an essential part of life.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a mention of December, which represents a time of change, transition, and passing of the year. The lyrics suggest that just like we witness a change of seasons every year, we must also face the changes in our lives. We may encounter days where we feel stagnant or unsure about our future, but it's essential to remember that change is constant, and we must embrace it.
The song's lyrics highlight the importance of letting go and not holding on to things that no longer serve us. It speaks of the universal truth that everyone goes through changes and challenges in their lives, but it's crucial to remain optimistic and hopeful through the transitions.
Line by Line Meaning
You said you've got so much left to do
You once spoke to me about all the unaccomplished tasks that you had yet to complete
But instead, you're just pacing 'round the room
However, lately you've been aimlessly walking around the room without any purpose or direction
'Cause what else is someone supposed to do
Given your situation and your struggles, it's not surprising that you're not sure of the next move to make
When yourself doesn't feel like it used to?
Since things have changed, you're not the same person you used to be and you don't feel the way you used to
All these changes don't have to get so strange
It's completely fine to feel strange and unsure, but it's important to know that change is a natural part of life
So my friend, you just remember
My dear friend, don't forget
That every year has its December
Just like every year has a winter or a December season, life also has its ups and downs
There's gonna be days that you just pass right on through
Some days may just feel ordinary or uneventful, where you just pass through the day without anything remarkable happening
But that's what seasons do, they change
But these are the ebbs and flows of life, and just like seasons change, so do our moods, feelings, and circumstances
So, what now? You've been talking like a palindrome
What's next for you? You've been speaking with little to no progression or change, like a word or phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards
And somehow still don't know which way the story goes
You're still unsure of the direction your life is heading, even though you've been talking about it for a while
But turns out, no one either seems to really know
It's important to remember that no one really knows what the future holds, and that's okay
Man, I've found sometimes I've just got to let things go
Sometimes, it's necessary to let go of certain things or situations, in order to move on and find a path forward
Because changes are what make up the time, yeah
Change is inevitable, and it's what makes up our lives and experiences
So my friend, you just remember
My dear friend, don't forget
There's gonna be days that you just want something new
Some days you may desire something different, something new and exciting
But that's what seasons do, they change
But just like the changing of the seasons, our wants and needs will also change with time
There's gonna be days when you don't feel like you
Some days you may not feel like yourself, and that's okay
But that's what seasons do, they change
Just like seasons change, you will also experience changes in your life, which may cause you to feel differently at times
