December
Seven Collar T-Shirt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've learned to breathe underwater
What's that? Forgiveness?
I have given enough
Slow down, it's been years since the panic
I've twisted a vein to keep the toxins in
What's next? Reasons?
I have given you mine
I have given you up…
I promise that we'll fight again in the new year
Lights out as we return to our darkest fears
So what now? Confusion?
I can't live in the past
I have given you more than your birthright ever
I have given you up…
I'll fall back, and catch my breath
Your precious perfect verse, stopped making sense
Forget everything, forget how I made you bleed
I'm nervous and wasted
Stop there, I'm naked
I have given your love to another hand
I have given you up
Enough of this faking
Stop and I'll let you leave
Oh precious virgins, outside every night
I feel fine
The Seven Collar T-Shirt song "December" is a reflective tune about letting go of past grudges and starting a new chapter. The first few lines convey a sense of relief as the singer says goodbye to December, which could be symbolizing a painful period in their life that they are now moving on from. The lyric "I've learned to breathe underwater" suggests that the singer has adapted to difficult circumstances and can now survive even when things get tough.
The next few lines read "What's that? Forgiveness?/I have given enough". Here, the singer seems to be grappling with what it means to forgive someone who has wronged them in the past. They are conflicted about whether they have done enough to make amends with the person, or if more needs to be done.
Later in the song, the singer promises to "fight again" in the new year, which suggests a sense of resilience and determination to overcome the obstacles from the past. However, they also acknowledge that they cannot live in the past and must move forward. The line "I have given your love to another hand" hints at the idea of letting go of a romantic relationship, perhaps out of a desire to start anew.
