and then by wednesday-day, it felt like i was on my way.
any way i chose. i wont be coming home for christmas
Looking back you made me feel vulnerable
though my faithfulness was some what debatable..
Looking back i did quite alright, set up the rest of my life
by chance, i lost my flash light!
welcome was over stayed..
what was it that you used to say?
any way i chose. oh oh oh oh.
I wont be coming home for christmas!
Looking back you made me feel vulnerable
though my faithfulness was some what debatable..
Looking back i did quite alright, set up the rest of my life.
oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa
Yababababa yabababa,

Looking back i did quite alright, set up the rest of my life.

The song "Christmas" by Elemeno P begins with the singer reflecting on a past relationship that left him feeling vulnerable and unsure of his faithfulness. Despite this, he recognizes that the relationship ultimately helped him move forward in life, allowing him to make choices for himself without sacrificing his own desires. This freedom is evident in the song's chorus, where the singer declares that he won't be coming home for Christmas. The repetition of this phrase serves to emphasize the singer's independence and willingness to follow his own path, even if it separates him from loved ones during the holidays.
The song's lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying the singer's emotions and experiences. The use of repetition and onomatopoeia in the final verses adds a playful element to the song, contrasting with its more serious tone earlier on. Overall, the song captures the bittersweet nature of moving on from a past love, while also celebrating the joys of independence and self-determination.
