"Upon This Dawning" is an Italian metalcore band known for their intense and emotional songs. "Losing Myself In December" is one of their popular tracks. The lyrics explore themes of shyness, longing, and self-doubt in a romantic context. The song begins with the protagonist expressing their shyness and struggle to look directly at the person they are attracted to. They question why they feel this way and ask for an explanation. The chorus then begs the other person not to keep their feelings hidden and to communicate openly. The protagonist doesn't want to be forgotten and feels that their heart is racing too fast. They also mention their understanding that the other person might want to leave the relationship. The second verse describes the feeling of being trapped like a prisoner in their room, wanting to escape. They long to hear the other person's voice and imagine a sense of freedom when they are together. The chorus is repeated once again. The bridge introduces a sense of insecurity and inadequacy. The protagonist believes that no one could be perfect enough to stay with them. They feel like others are constantly watching them when they are with the person they desire, and they question if there's something wrong with them. The final part of the song takes a slightly darker turn. The lyrics metaphorically suggest that the protagonist will take away the other person's sorrow and be their support. They promise to be their "wine," providing comfort and never letting them feel empty. The candle metaphor signifies bringing light and illumination to their loved one's life. The song concludes with the protagonist asking the other person to be theirs. Overall, "Losing Myself In December" is a deeply introspective and emotionally charged song that explores the complexities of love, self-doubt, and longing.
