In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Santa, please, will you help me
'Cause I'm all alone with my Christmas tree
See, my honey's on his way, his flight's delayed
Can you bring him on your sleigh?
'Cause time is going
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, ooh yeah
Santa, please, will you help me
'Cause I'm all alone and so unhappy
See, I need my baby here to hold me tight
Can you bring him here tonight?
'Cause time is going
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, oh yeah
Santa, please, please help me
'Cause I'm all alone and I need, I need
Up to now I've been real good, so tell me why
Why is time taking its time and going so
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, ooh yeah
Call Dasher, call Dancer, call Prancer
Call Vixen
(Can you help me out real quick
It's an emergency)
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner, on Blitzen
(Can you help me out St. Nick, Santa please
'Cause time is going)
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home
Call your mom please
Call Dasher, call Dancer, call Prancer
Call Vixen
Call your boy in love to help a girl out, oh, no, oh pretty please, Santa please
Santa, please, will you help me
'Cause I'm all alone with my Christmas tree
See, my honey's on his way, his flight's delayed
Can you bring him on your sleigh?
'Cause time is going
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, ooh yeah
Santa, please, will you help me
'Cause I'm all alone and so unhappy
See, I need my baby here to hold me tight
Can you bring him here tonight?
'Cause time is going
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, oh yeah
Santa, please, please help me
'Cause I'm all alone and I need, I need
Up to now I've been real good, so tell me why
Why is time taking its time and going so

I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
