Heartbreak
Celebration Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I can see it all now
I keep it back some
All those chumps they only ask, ordinary
Through the black, they didn't understand, what I see
Happy we found, all our love
Golden mountains of... baby we both, know

I we, is here we, should be... together

And you, under some weather

Sweet delight
Our wind out there seems wrong, but it, ain't right, well I say
All those chumps they only ask, ordinary
Through the black, they didn't understand, what I see
Happy we found, all our love
Golden mountains of... baby we both, know

In those golden mountains, baby we both, know our way
Whiskey and whiskey, in loving you
It's a heartbreak, it's a heartbreak, oh

Cause your heartbreak, and I'm addicted to you
I know better way what scream and I true
I know better way, I'm addicted to you
Darling I suppose...

In those golden mountains, baby we both, know our way
Whiskey and whiskey, in loving you
It's a heartbreak, it's a heartbreak, oh

We don't always, someone makes us new
I'll always be addicted to you
Heartbreak with knowing, heartbreak, we'll show it, oh
Heartbreak with knowing, heartbreak, we'll show it, oh

Heartbreak, heartbreak, oh
Heartbreak, heartbreak, oh

Heartbreak, heartbreak, oh
Heartbreak, heartbreak.

Overall Meaning

In Celebration's song Heartbreak, the lyrics describe the experience of being addicted to someone even though they cause heartbreak. The singer reflects on how they can see everything now and that all the ordinary people around them didn't understand what they see in their lover. They acknowledge that they may not be together under ideal circumstances (i.e., bad weather), but they know that they belong together. The repetition of the phrase "all those chumps they only ask, ordinary" implies that the singer feels that others are not on the same level as they are with their love. In the end, they acknowledge that their love may be a heartbreak and that they will always be addicted to this person.

The theme of Heartbreak is a common one in pop music, with many songs exploring the experience of heartbreak. However, Celebration's use of the phrase "all those chumps they only ask, ordinary" adds a layer of interpretation to the typical trope of heartbreak. It suggests that the singer feels they are in a different class of love and that others cannot understand what they have. The use of the phrase "golden mountains" is also intriguing, as it suggests that the lovers are elevated and in a state of bliss despite the heartbreak they are experiencing.
