Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
About This Song
"December" is a brooding alternative rock track that explores themes of toxic relationships and emotional manipulation through vivid metaphorical imagery. The lyrics depict someone pleading to be rejected or "spit out" by a partner who seems drawn to their perceived darkness or instability, with references to contamination and spiritual imagery creating an atmosphere of self-aware destructiveness. Musically, the song features Collective Soul's signature grunge-influenced sound with heavy guitar work and Ed Roland's distinctive vocals delivering the conflicted emotions with both vulnerability and intensity. The track stands out for its unusual perspective of someone actively encouraging their own rejection, making it a compelling exploration of self-sabotage and the complex dynamics of unhealthy attraction that resonated with the mid-90s alternative rock audience.
