Christmas Kids Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear
Do what you want as long as you stay here
I need you now, I love you so much
More than you could know

[Verse 2]
The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift
And love is a tower where all of us can live

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll change your name or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind

[Chorus]
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know

[Bridge]
Appearing unsightly
With devils inside me
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie
If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie

[Verse 3]
I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now
I'm going to escape, but you won't know how
Or where to find me when I'm gone
I'll drink myself to death inside
This prison cell
This prison cell

[Pre-Chorus]
So get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
You'll change your name or change your mind
And leave this fucked up place behind

[Chorus]
But I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know
I'll know, I'll know

This song so perfectly encapsulates what being in an abusive household is like. You never feel safe, it always feels like they're there, it feels inescapable. Yet, it also encapsulates the strange "nostalgia" of it all. All of the happy memories stained by the overwhelming amount of bad ones. It really is a lovely little song.

Rest in peace, Ronnie.

[Interesting_why]

Even though the meaning is way darker than you think, this song is just amazing

[CJstudiosfuntime]

The song is based on real events. This was the story of Phil and Ronnie Spector. Phil worked with a bunch of famous artists one of them was named Ronnie they had a very abusive relationship. The song is called "Christmas Kids" because Phil adopted children as a Christmas "Gift" to try to fix their relationship. However he did not care about them in the slightest and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He primarily got them to stop Ronnie from leaving him. This didn’t fix things so he locked her inside, put barbed wire around their mansion, and bars on the windows. The line "You can change your name or change your mind" meant that she couldn't change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie and the last name gave her so much legitimacy that she couldn’t be successful without it. She tried to drink herself to death, but she ended up in Alcoholics Anonymous, they helped give her the courage to try to escape. He threatened Ronnie with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He then took her shoes so she couldn't escape as easily. Luckily one of the windows broke and she managed to squeeze herself through the broken window and escape. Unfortunately she lost everything in the divorce including the children, however luckily she managed to sue him for a lot of money. Phil ended up getting caught on other charges and he went to prison. Phil died in 2021 of Covid. And Ronnette died in 2022 at the age of 78 of cancer.

TLDR: Ronnie was in a very abusive relationship, Phil threatened her and that’s what the song is about.

[Crystalized__]

This song isn't what you think.
It sounds friendly but it's dark.

Ronnette was 17 and Phil was 24 when they started dating. They were having a normal relationship for a little and after that friendly relationship, Phil physically and emotionally abused Ronnie spector. Phil spector got 3 Childern known as the Christmas kids to keep her from emotionally running away. She tried to change herself but everyone would've known her, including Phil spector. Phil took away her shoes so she couldn't run away. Later she found her shoes and managed to escape through a window leaving Phil spector and the 3 of the kids in the house. Ronnette died at 78 in 2022 and Phil died at 81 in 2021 after torturing Ronnette.

"if you ever try to leave me, ill find you, ronnie"

This part of the song kinda explains things 😭

[Wake-up..thisIsAllJustADream]

REST IN PEACE RONNETTE!

This song is very good.

[faingataavaiaku]

My mom left today, so while we were in the car, Christmas Kids played on the radio, and I just broke into pieces, crying my head off with my sister and grandparents.This song really gives a sad backstory, especially when you're sad.

Thanks for the support on this message.For those wondering, no, my mom didn't abandon me or died, the thing is.When my mom comes, it feels like it happens once in a lifetime, because it's been FIVE YEARS ever since I've moved with my grandparents.

[Spamwintheshat]

The story is about phil and Ronnie Spector, (her being mentioned in the song, also an 60s pop-star, ) to cut it short, phil was abusive to ronnie, and often threatened her to death if she ever tried to leave him. The lyrics said
"You can change your name or change your mind" Because she couldn't change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie. The song is called "Christmas Kids" because Phil Spector adopted 3 children as a Christmas
"Gift" and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He got the kids so he could make Ronnie emotionally attached to them so she wouldn't leave. He also threatened Ronnie Spector with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He also took her shoe's so she couldn't escape that easy. She luckily escaped threw a broken window. Veronica Yvette Bennett. (Her full name) 1943-2022.

And Ty for the likes I never expected that


Omg 1k? This is more then my subs lol

2k that’s impressive 👀

[Guinea_Adventures]

This song hits hard when you know the true story❤️

[voidcreature]

To everyone saying how cheery this song sounds, I find it very interesting from a musical perspective. I haven’t quite looks at the written music, but from what I can hear it’s filled with 2nds (especially at the higher parts) and 5ths which are both respectively tense/ hollow intervals which create unease or dissonance. Which, combined when combined with the rest of the song kinda just gets passed off as passing tones so it still sounds good in context. I think that really adds on to the message or the backstory of the song too, a realtionship that may have looked good at first glance or an outsider looking in but upon further investigation is sick. Really love this song, and the creativity behind it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[_Casually_Existing_]

The meaning behind the song is depressing, and I was clueless about it until recently…but this song is still amazing

[Magic.]

1:49 hits hard even with the dark meaning ☹️

[ronny_ranny]

The song is a genuinely scary situation to be held captive in. This makes the lyric " if you'd ever try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie" just more spine-chilling. Rip Ronnie <3

[cometkeiko]

I love stuff with dark truths, this one fits for me, it has good music and a really dark truth. It sounds so good, loving it. 10/10, don’t think I’m a monster, I just love learning in a fun way.

[pxxlated_noh]

What a perfect song to play during christmas :)

[heiscute]

This song just gives me a weird feeling, the feeling of happiness, sadness, madness and excitement all together or something. This song is stuck in my mind.

[YourLocalIdiot]

I like how the beginning starts as Phil’s perspective of what’s happening then gradually switches to Ronnie when it says, ”I leaving, Phil, I’m leaving now I’m going to escape but you won’t know how.” And she actually had to escape through a broken window.

[Impnthatgoodcus]

Funny thing is that the Lorax meme has one of the darkest songs ever written and still make me laugh
