Song Meaning of “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” by New Bomb Turks
The song ‘Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)’ by the New Bomb Turks speaks of a longing for someone to come back during the Christmas season – someone who’s heart may have been broken in the past, or who may have gone off on their own journey.
The lyrics tell of the pain of a person being away from those they love and care about, and how during a holiday season, that pain is felt even more deeply. The lyrics describe how Christmas time is “the loneliest time of the year” and how the singer is “sending a plea” for the person to come back. The plea is expressed through multiple metaphors, such as “the church bells in town” which can symbolize hope and prayer in a time of longing for a reunion. The metaphor of a snowman outside a window can also be taken to mean that although the person is not physically present, they are still there in spirit and the singer knows that if the person was there, it could be another snowman-building moment.
The song ultimately expresses the power of love and how despite all of the difficulties someone may go through in life, at the end of the day, it’s the people we love and care about that can really take away a lot of the pain.
