Celebration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lack the spark, to shine, to find my mind baby, and I'm too sharp, to play the part for you.
For you... where do all my rubies shine?
I paid the devil to lose my mind.
And these days, these days are black as coal.
I imagine my lost soul away on some paid holiday.
Ahh, it's ok if it's not far away, away.
Babe, what happens to us now?
For this loss, Oh lord i paid the cost...
And for this pain, my gentle sould remains away on some paid holiday.
Ahh, it's ok if it's not far away, away.
Time beats so slow... these days are dark.
And i'm too sharp to play the part for you...
For you... where do my rubis shine?
I paid the devil to lose my mind. And these days are black as coal.
I imagine my lost soul away on some paid holiday.
Ahh, it's ok if it's not far away, away.
I know there is one way, to bring it on down now.
Here we are.
No matter where we start, I'll always be apart from my unbroken heart,
And so you keep me close, what matters to you most is that I'll stay.
Bring it on down now.
Where do all my rubies shine?
The lyrics to Celebration's song Holiday are raw and honest, capturing a sense of darkness and despair in the face of personal struggles. The singer describes feeling down and lacking motivation, unable to find their way forward. The metaphor of rubies, once shining bright but now lost, represents the potential they once saw in themselves that has now been lost. The chorus speaks to the desire to escape, to go on a paid holiday to get away from the troubles and find some solace. The singer wonders where their soul will end up, weighed down by the cost of their pain and loss.
In the verses, the singer explores their own personal turmoil, paying homage to the darkness they are experiencing. They describe losing their sense of self, shouting or fighting to get out of their own mind and body, and feeling trapped. The devil is hinted at as being part of the problem, a paid figure who may have contributed to the loss or confusion. The singer feels as if their gentle soul has been lost, or perhaps placed on hold for the holiday of escape.
Interestingly, the lyrics end with an almost hopeful tone. The singer acknowledges that there is a way to bring the darkness down and keep hope alive. They express gratitude for the person who is fighting to keep them close and who values them for who they are, even when they cannot see themselves clearly. Despite the darkness and despair, there is still room for hope and connection.
