Chuck Berry Holiday
Nobunny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She says she gotta go and do her own thing
That was six years ago on this very night
And I ain't never ever see her again
Where did she go (I don't know)
What did she say (I can't say)
Is she comin' back (I don't know)
Oh well she went away for the holiday
I guess she never ever ever comin' back
I check the floor for that little girl
I went to Hong Kong, Bermuda and France
I went up and down and north and south
and east and west and all around
and did the naked hola dance
Where did she go (I don't know)
What did she say (I can't say)
Is she comin' back (I don't know)
Well I find she lied (She went away)
Oh well she went away for the holiday
I guess she never ever ever comin' back
She hit the road jack, that's a fact
I guess it's time that I just let it go
She opened for a show just walked right out the door
But there's still one thing I wanna know
Where did she go (I don't know)
What did she say (I can't say)
Is she comin' back (I don't know)
Well I find she lied (She went away)
Oh well she went away for the holiday
I guess she never ever ever comin' back
I guess she never ever ever comin' back
The song "Chuck Berry Holiday" by Nobunny shares a tale of a lost love who left town six years ago during the Christmas holiday on a midnight train, and the singer has been searching for her ever since. As he wanders from one place to another, he keeps checking if he can find her whereabouts. The lyrics are full of questions that he cannot answer - where did she go, what did she say, and whether she is coming back. He has traveled to different countries in search of her without any luck, and at the end, he comes to terms with the fact that she is probably gone for good.
The song's lyrics are an expression of longing and disappointment at being left behind by someone he loved. The lyrics repeatedly mention the holiday, which is a time of joy and togetherness. However, for the singer, it's a time of sadness and loneliness as he can't find his love. He does all he can, including doing the "naked hola dance" to get a hint of where she could be. But despite all his efforts, he doesn't seem to find her.
Despite its melancholic theme, the song is catchy and upbeat. It's a combination of Indie Pop and Garage Rock, with fast-paced guitar riffs that keep the listener engaged. The song was released in 2010 as part of Nobunny's album "First Blood" and has become a fan favorite. It's a song that speaks to anyone who has lost a loved one and has been searching for them ever since.
