Anorak Christmas
Sally Shapiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was a Tuesday on a gig with a band that we both liked
The first time that I heard you say your name and I said mine
I fell in love, and ever since you've been here on my mind
Please don't go
I love you so
I want to kiss you
The weekend's over and I feel the strangest way because
I can't remember my own name but I do remember yours
There are no words in any language for feelings just like this
Will I end up by myself or in the perfect kiss
Please don't go
I love you so
I want to kiss you
I need to kiss you
Don't go, don't go
Don't go, don't go
The song "Anorak Christmas" by Sally Shapiro explores the experience of falling in love unexpectedly, and the emotional confusion and longing that ensues. The lyrics reflect the singer's memory of meeting someone new and being instantly attracted to them, even as they struggle to express their feelings. The opening lines describe a chance meeting on a winter night at a concert, which sets the stage for the singer's growing infatuation: "The first time that I saw your face on a cold December night / It was a Tuesday on a gig with a band that we both liked."
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more attached to the other person, expressing a deep desire to be with them and fear of losing them: "Please don't go / I love you so / I want to kiss you / I need to kiss you." The chorus repeats this plea for the other person to stay and expresses the intensity of the singer's feelings. The second verse similarly describes the singer's confusion and disorientation in the aftermath of meeting the other person: "The weekend's over and I feel the strangest way because / I can't remember my own name but I do remember yours." The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and longing that give the song a bittersweet quality, capturing the intensity of falling in love despite the uncertainty it brings.
Overall, "Anorak Christmas" is a poignant and heartfelt expression of the ups and downs of romantic attraction. The song puts into words the experience of being swept away by emotions that are hard to control, and the hope and fear that come with opening oneself up to love.
