December
Nixons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

may not see our July
I may not be near when the sun is warm in your sky...your sky
I may miss entire springtimes
But this promise is yours and it is strong as life

I'll be home when the snow is falling
When the fire turns to ember
I'll see you in December

I may not see Valentine
Share birthdays with a letter
But it's only time...only miles

I'll be home when the snow is falling
When the fire turns to ember
I'll see you in December

...and the snow will fall, the fires will warm
A heart that's full, true and calm
The snow will fall, the fires will warm
All I am, all I'll be is yours

I'll be home when the snow is falling
When the fire turns to ember, please remember
I'll be home when the snow is falling




When the fire turns to ember
I'll see you in December

Overall Meaning

The song "December" by Nixon is a poignant and emotional piece about the sacrifices that one person makes for love. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who are separated by distance and time and who are not able to be together for a significant portion of the year. Despite this, the promise of commitment and devotion is unwavering and unbroken. The imagery of the snow falling, of the fire warming, and of the heart being full and true create a sense of warmth and intimacy, of home and belonging. The refrain of "I'll be home when the snow is falling, when the fire turns to ember, I'll see you in December" is a powerful and memorable statement of intent, of love and of longing.


The lyrics suggest that the singer may be away for long stretches of time due to work or other commitments, and that their partner may miss out on important events and moments in their lives. However, the strength of their love and the commitment they share is unyielding, and this promise to be together in December is a symbol of hope and reassurance for both partners. The use of seasonal motifs, such as the snow and the fire, conjure up images of cozy winter nights spent together, of laughter and comfort, of love and support. Overall, the song conveys a message of perseverance, loyalty and faithfulness, and a longing for togetherness in the face of adversity.
