Being illuminated on the outside doesn’t reveal the darkness on the inside. In this song, a Christmas tree is used as an analogy for the human condition—a facade of temporary brightness in something only admired from how it appears on the outside.
Christmas Tree Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was feeling old and inside
Lit up like a Christmas Tree
Surrounded by my family
Acting like I'm gonna die
But they don't really know about my life
They don't really notice me
Only when I'm burning bright
That's the only light they see
[Chorus]
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
[Verse 2]
I cannot be tamed
I cannot be blamed
I cannot be contained
I'm a real live wire
Baby help me, I'm on fire
But you don't really know about my life
You don't really know about me
Only thing that you know about my life
Is I'm the one who is free
Who is free
Who is free
Who is free
[Chorus]
They said I'm shopping for a coffin, please
I said, 'Everyone get off of me'
They said, 'I'm shopping for a coffin, please'
I said, 'Everyone get off of me'
Ahhh!!
[Outro]
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
