It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessness’s aside
If just for now, it's just for a little while
Dear, stop right here
I know we've followed a bumpy ride.
I’m secretly on your side
She wants to be able to let go of the problems her family's had. The holidays can be hectic; she just wants to keep things civil.
How did you know?
It's what I always wanted
Could never have had too many of these
Will you quit kicking me under the table?
I'm trying, Will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?
Once again, with the remaining civil. She's just trying to be nice, but obviously her family begins to get on her nerves.
Bite tongue
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
Still making an effort to not lose it completely.
I think something is burning
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Might fool the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music?
Better quick sharp remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me
Here, you can see her losing hope...snapping at people, being angry. She just wants out.
Get me outta here (x13)
Just for now
Just for now
See? She explicitly says she wants out. "Just for now" seems more like reassurance that it'll all be over soon than encouragement to get along with her family by the end of the song.
Love this song. She's got a gorgeous voice. It's rare that you'll find personality in electronica, but Imogen manages. You have to respect that. She's very listenable.
