It's Christmas After All
Skaar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But December will warm you or so I was told
Well, it's still cold
Unless you have someone to hold
Hurts to admit it, but no one will visit
Not even Santa will spare me a minute
(O holy night) I'm alone tonight
Now, red has become the loneliest colour
I'm just crying in my room
What else am I supposed to do?
I mean it's Christmas after all
Streets covered in glitter and gold
Singing songs that remind me of family and home
It's not the same you know
When the choir is you on your own
Of all the things that I had on my list
I can't remember wishing for this
(O holy night) To be alone tonight
I've got friends, but don't wanna bother
Now, red has become the loneliest colour
I'm just crying in my room
What else am I supposed to do?
It's Christmas after all
Let me be a child again
So I can see there's magic in the air
Make a wish and close my eyes
'Cause anything could happen under stars
It's Christmas after all
The song "It's Christmas After All" by Skaar is about loneliness during the holiday season. The lyrics describe the coldness of winter and how December is supposed to bring warmth, but for the singer, it's still cold unless they have someone to hold. The singer is alone and hurting, feeling like no one will come to visit them - not even Santa. The chorus repeats the notion that the singer is crying in their room because what else are they supposed to do - it's Christmas after all.
The second verse mentions the glitter and gold on the streets and singing songs that remind the singer of family and home, but it's not the same because they're singing alone. The singer expresses not being able to remember wishing for this loneliness and being alone on a holy night.
The bridge of the song is a plea to be a child again, to see the magic in the air, and make wishes under the stars since anything can happen. The song ends with the repetition of the line "It's Christmas after all," driving home the fact that even though the singer is alone and hurting, they still recognize the significance of the holiday.
