This is the ultimate Elliott Smith song for this album. I agree with ACM when it comes to placement of the song in the album. This song, it seems, is about his submission to his drug addiction and the responsibility that he takes for his actions which led him to the point of death. So many times, we hear about people who kill other people and they blame other people or something in them that they couldn't control. With this song, Elliott is saying that he knows what he did to lead him to this point, and he doesn't blame anyone but himself. What's magical about this is that he doesn't do this in a way that would make it seem that he was looking for sympathy. He says all this in a way that he still looks in control, but really is out of control. Very hard to explain, but if you get it, you get it. |

I think this song is a second thought; reconsidering taking his life. He can see something that is beautiful, whether that be drugs or a woman and it makes him reconsider taking his own life. |

I've always pictured this song as something that was happening as he was very much on drugs. The "Santa" with the slurred speech and skinny manner makes me think that Santa is a metaphor for a drug dealer. I honestly picture Elliot sitting on a couch throughout the whole song and random people coming in and out of his house to shoot up and him on the verge of purposly overdosing the whole time. |
