Hollie LA made her recording debut with “Unlocked,” a 6 song EP that showcased some of her most memorable recordings. One thing Hollie doesn’t do is put herself in a box – “I create and write music that reflects who I am and not what everyone else is doing at the moment.” Together with music producer Kosta Lois, Hollie LA released the EP on Unlocked Records. Hollie’s lyrics and melodies at times are saucy -very tongue and cheek – just listen to “Domesticate It” and “Love Debt” for a taste! On the flip side, her ballads such as “Invisible Chains” and “Fame,” expose a more serious and vulnerable side.
Throughout Hollie LA’s musical journey, Film/TV and the independent/major music scenes have taken notice. Hollie LA has had her song, “Domesticate It” placed on NBC’s hit show, “The Office.” Additionally, her entire EP “Unlocked” has been featured on the following shows: Open House LA, 1st Look, Daily 10, Jersey Couture, Making Over America, and the video game -Our World. She has been nominated by the Los Angeles Music Awards for Pop/R&B Artist of the year. She was a finalist in a singing competition put on by LA’s own Hit Radio Station- 102.7 KIIS FM. Hollie LA continues to be the opening female act for many charity benefits and industry events throughout her hometown.
Hollie LA’s ultimate goal as an artist is to be able to reach music lovers worldwide through the power of song and to make a difference. She is quickly becoming a positive role model for the youth of today. Recently, Hollie LA’s latest single and music video, “POISON” is giving her fans a deeper insight into the true heart and emotion behind her songs. “If I can help just one person by seeing this video, then my mission is complete.”
Last Christmas
Hollie LA 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
Once bitten and twice shy
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 Hollie LA is a heartfelt and emotionally charged song that reflects on the pain of a past heartbreak and the hope for a better future. The lyrics recount a story of giving one's heart to someone in the past, only to have it broken when that person walked away. This experience left the singer feeling hurt and vulnerable, as evidenced by the repeated line, "To save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special."
The chorus of the song emphasizes the pain of having one's heart broken and the determination to move on by giving love to someone deserving of it. The repetition of the lines "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away" highlights the feeling of betrayal and heartache that the singer experienced, leading them to vow to be more cautious in the future with their affections.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of second chances and the fear of being hurt again. The lines "Once bitten and twice shy, I keep my distance, But you still catch my eye" convey the internal struggle of wanting to guard oneself against pain while still holding onto hope for a new beginning with someone worthy of trust and love.
The final verse of the song reflects a sense of empowerment and closure as the singer acknowledges the pain of the past but also expresses confidence in finding true love and not being fooled again. The decision to give one's heart to someone special signifies a willingness to move forward with optimism and resilience despite past hurt. Overall, "Last Christmas" beautifully captures the complex emotions of heartbreak, resilience, and the yearning for a fresh start in matters of love.
Line by Line Meaning
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
In the past, I trusted you with my love and affection
But the very next day you gave it away
But you quickly discarded my feelings and betrayed my trust
This year, to save me from tears
This time, I will protect myself from getting hurt
I'll give it to someone special
I will give my love to someone who truly appreciates it
Once bitten and twice shy
Having been hurt once before, I am now cautious
I keep my distance
I am trying to maintain a safe distance from you
But you still catch my eye
Despite my efforts, I cannot help but notice you
Tell me, baby
Please provide me with an explanation
Do you recognize me?
Do you still remember who I am?
Well, it's been a year
It has been a significant amount of time
It doesn't surprise me
I am not shocked by the current situation
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
During this festive season, I packaged and delivered my heart
With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it
I expressed my love sincerely and genuinely
Now, I know what a fool I've been
I recognize my foolishness in trusting you
But if you kissed me now
Despite everything, if you showed affection now
I know you'd fool me again
I understand that you would deceive me once more
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
In a busy environment, surrounded by exhausted companions
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
I am avoiding you and your cold-hearted nature
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
I believed you were a dependable person
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
As for me, maybe I was just someone you turned to for comfort
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A passionate lover with strong emotions
A man under cover but you tore him apart
A man with hidden feelings that you destroyed
Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
I have discovered genuine love and will not be deceived again
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
Perhaps in the future, I will entrust my love to someone
I'll give it to someone special
I will offer my heart to someone truly deserving
