Holiday
Ben Liebrand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That very night in Pitch Black City
I was so damned scared, it was dark
It was so dim, it was a shame
Just then a man walked up to me and said
Didn't I see you here before
The lights were low and the party was so dull
Holiday
(Ey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Holiday
(Holiday, what you say?)
Holiday
Celebrate
(Ah yeah)
Holiday
Holiday
(Alright)
Holiday
Celebrate
Then we both held hands in each other's
For a chance to start it moving
He reached deep inside of his vest
And in his hand he held a ring
Let's have lunch
Picnic or a brunch in the wintertime
Let's disco down in a rollerskating
Ring in Alaska town
Holiday
(Holiday)
Holiday
(Come on, come on celebrate)
Holiday
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
Celebrate
Holiday
(Got the feeling, come on, keep ahead)
Holiday
(Reelin' holiday, yeah, yeah)
Holiday
Celebrate
Not a cloud showed out in the sky
That very night in Pitch Black City
I was so damned scared, it was dark
It was so dim, it was a shame
Just then a man walked up to me and said
Didn't I see you here before
The lights were low and the party was so dull
Just not good enough

The song "Lover's Holiday" by Ben Liebrand starts off with the lyrics "Not a cloud showed out in the sky, That very night in Pitch Black City, I was so damned scared, it was dark, It was so dim, it was a shame." These lyrics set the tone of the song and describe a dark and potentially ominous environment. The lyrics suggest a feeling of fear and uncertainty. However, the lyrics then take a positive turn when a man walks up and suggests that they dance together, saying "The lights were low and the party was so dull, Just not good enough."
The lyrics continue to focus on the idea of celebrating and having a good time despite the darkness and uncertainty. The chorus of "Holiday, Celebrate" is a call to action to let go of fear and sorrow and instead choose to celebrate and enjoy life. The mention of lunch, picnics, brunches, and disco in the lyrics further emphasize the idea of celebrating and having a good time.

Not a cloud showed out in the sky
The sky was clear and cloudless
That very night in Pitch Black City
This happened in a city without streetlights - it was very dark
I was so damned scared, it was dark
The darkness made me very afraid
It was so dim, it was a shame
It was so dark that it was pathetic and pitiful
Just then a man walked up to me and said
At that moment, a man came up to me and spoke
Didn't I see you here before
Haven't we met here before?
The lights were low and the party was so dull
The party was unexciting, and the lighting was dim
Just not good enough
The party wasn't up to par
Then we both held hands in each other's
We clasped hands with each other
For a chance to start it moving
In order to begin dancing
He reached deep inside of his vest
He put his hand inside his vest pocket
And in his hand he held a ring
He had a ring in his hand
Let's have lunch
We should eat lunch together
Picnic or a brunch in the wintertime
Either a picnic or brunch during the winter season
Let's disco down in a rollerskating
Let's roller skate to disco music
Ring in Alaska town
