Description: It has always fascinated me that we don’t have more angry Christmas music. It’s almost like people don’t want to talk about it, like Christmas isn’t a day that you’re allowed to be angry on. I don’t think that’s wrong because I think that people should be angry on Christmas; I think it’s wrong because there is no joy without the bad moments and there really is no nothing to celebrate if it weren’t for the lows. Life comes with both, and I believe holidays should be a time to acknowledge that and marvel at the way in which, in spite of it all, we are still here — especially this year. That’s what “Dragonfly Ornament” is about.
LYRICS:
my Christmas tree is traveling with me
across state lines, going north on 93
I have the dragonfly your mom gave to me
right before she died, when she told me I should leave
I wonder what you’re doing with the season’s greetings
A time of year so wonderful they named after me
I hope it drives you mad
I hope you think of me
And every single Christmas that you ruined for me
I love the change in weather and I love sparkly things
I love it when it’s frigid in the air like me
I hope it drives you mad
I hope you think of me
And every single Christmas that you ruined for me
My Christmas tree is traveling with me
Since I left you, I’m better than ever been
The dragonfly ornament your mom gave to me
Is shining on my tree in my new city
They say that people never want to talk about the grinch
But everybody here’s got a story like this
So I hope it drives you mad
I hope you think of me
And every single Christmas you’ll remember what you did
