about

Started this song in December 2021, returned to finish it in November 2022 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This song's about a very specific memory years ago when I had my first holiday home after getting my teaching job, to find out my dad got laid off from his job of 10 years and I was gonna have to float my family. I don't encourage alcoholism!

lyrics

Christmas Eve going door to door
Old Town Monrovia's got ho ho hos
10pm, it's getting late
I've only got myself to date

Drink another beer before I process my own fears of doing everything for nothing
Hide from family so I can blind myself from all the big disappointments coming

Bcuz all I get for Christmas is depression
It's just another night for a drinkin' session
All I really want is for my life to stop falling apart
Today is not my day, I'll stay the same, things'll never change

Jameson and my friend Pabst
Keep on knocking me on my ass
11pm, I'm all blissed out
While wandering out I have my doubts

Drink another beer before I process my own fears of doing everything for nothing
Sink my loneliness with another shot, kiss a stranger just so I feel something

Bcuz all I get for Christmas is depression
It's just another night for a drinkin' session
All I really want is for my life to stop falling apart
Today is not my day, I'll stay the same, things'll never change

All I get for Christmas is depression
Think of loneliness and our oppression
Will my family have protection
from an asshole who will never learn his lesson?

Drinking beers, process my fears of doing everything for nothing
Hide from family and all the big disappointments coming

Keeks played in this awesome band called Clitorati, coming back to put out some lo-fi punk-ska. Experiential and candidly simple lyrics combine with Keeks' crooning voice to bring hi emotive energy. Nate Funk

Odd Robot is a sleeper supergroup of 90s pop punk veterans and they are OHSOGOOD. Songs of heartbreak, earworm melodies, and Andy's crooning makes you want to drink to former lovers' memories. Nate Funk
