Christmas
Nahui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mellow are the lights
The signs the noises
Coming from the streets
On Christmas day
I drawn in my couch
The head is free now
I have fed
Ceiling I stare at
With shadows dancing
And myself apart
On Christmas day
Shadows of the past
Above my head run
But I'm free at last
in the end
Yeah - I'm walking down
Yeah - Deeper I slide

Mellow are the lights
The brightness is gentle and cozy
The signs the noises
The various sounds and sights
Coming from the streets
Originating from outside
On Christmas day
The specific day being referenced
I drawn in my couch
Sinking into the comfort of the furniture
The head is free now
The mind is finally unburdened
Free from all the scraps
Released from the troubles and worries
Ceiling I stare at
Gazing up at the overhead surface
With shadows dancing
The shadows moving playfully
And myself apart
Feeling detached or separate
Shadows of the past
Dark memories from long ago
Above my head run
The shadows pass over me
But I'm free at last
Finally liberated from the negativity
in the end
Ultimately, everything worked out
Yeah - I'm walking down
I am strolling down
Yeah - Deeper I slide
I sink further, lost in thought
