Christmas
Jana Hunter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last week's communsurate heartaches
Had me blushed and pale
What I heard, what I understood
It was no joke
"My aim is fantastic."
Bring back the guns

It's too much for the young
And so the old throw it out
Putting blame back
Where blame can settle down




My name is elastic
Bring back the guns

Overall Meaning

The song "Christmas" by Jana Hunter is a haunting and poignant reflection on violence and its impact on society. The opening lines, "Last week's communsurate heartaches/Had me blushed and pale," set a somber and reflective tone. The lyrics go on to describe the singer's understanding of the seriousness of the situation, stating "What I heard, what I understood/It was no joke."


The line "My aim is fantastic" is a chilling reference to the accuracy of a shooter's aim. The phrase "Bring back the guns" is repeated throughout the song, but it is not a call to arms. Instead, it is a plea for people to recognize the danger of guns and to take action to address the issue. The line "It's too much for the young/And so the old throw it out" highlights the fact that society tends to ignore issues that are too overwhelming or difficult to solve.


The final line, "My name is elastic," is a poignant reminder that people can change and adapt. The singer is calling for society to "stretch" and adapt to a new reality where guns are no longer accepted as a solution to problems.


Overall, "Christmas" is a powerful commentary on the destructive nature of violence and the need for society to address the issue head-on. It is a somber reminder that we have the power to change things, but it requires a concerted effort from everyone.
