Christmas
Leona Naess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Words are falling form your lips like
Christmas to my hips
So dangerous the strangest feeling of being
I want willow trees and melodies and flowers counting
Hours 'til he's breathing leaving the rest behind

'Cause I'm full of love
Like waves washes sands clean
And the sun sparkles meadows green

I want kisses and dresses
A late night message that cradles, halos me to sleep
'Cause I'm full of love
Yeah I'm full of the above

Like a mother leads her cubs astray
And a teacher leaves at the end of each day
I'll stay

So cover me but lover please be patient
Loves ancient but not for me
'Cause I'm full of love
Yeah I'm full of the above

Like christmas stays with you




Walk through darkened streets as we lay true
Lights from your heart lead me to you

Overall Meaning

In Leona Naess's song "Christmas", the opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is in the presence of someone who is very seductive, and their words almost have the effect of Christmas food being digested in the hips. This feeling is strange yet powerful, and the singer desires to be in the presence of nature, particularly willow trees and fields of blooming flowers, to count time before the object of their affection returns. The singer is full of love and desires kisses, beautiful dresses, and late-night messages that cradle and caress them to sleep. The chorus reiterates the fact that the singer is full of nothing but love, as gentle as waves washing sand away and as vibrant as the sun reflecting off green meadows.


In the second verse, the human desire for consistent and reliable love is brought up, such as a mother caring for and guiding her cubs, and a teacher returning home at the end of the day. The singer, like the teacher, promises to stay and not go anywhere, but asks their lover to be patient with them. The singer acknowledges that love is an age-old concept, but the love they feel is new and fresh, as though they have just been reborn. The final line of the song is poignant, describing how the light from their lover's heart will guide them through the darkest streets.
