Christmas
Nahui Lyrics

music and lyrics by Luca Giancotti

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
Free from all the scraps
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

Line by Line Meaning

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
