Celebration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hot sun, you're one and all.
I feel every living thing.
Can't say I know what you want me to mean.
Hot day in the sun.
Oooh you're no longer the one.
Can you take it to market?
It was my idea to save your lovin' soul.
I won't answer any more.
I won't be your silly boy.
Hermetic design, now that they die.
There's got to be a way to satisfy the answer,
Now that we can sir.
I won't answer any more.
I won't be your silly boy.
I swallowed the snakes (baby baby no!)
And the shedding of my skin. (baby baby no!)
We pull it down now. (baby baby no!)
And the only sound... (baby baby no!)
The song "New Skin" by the band Celebration is a complex and enigmatic song about letting go of the past and embracing new beginnings. The lyrics speak of waiting and hoping for something to change for the better but not quite achieving it. The common theme is transformation, as indicated by the phrase "shedding of my skin.". The lyrics describe a feeling of being alive and responsive to the world, but also uncertain and unsure. The first two lines of the song suggest the optimism of sunshine, but the tone quickly turns darker as the singer accepts that things have changed, and they no longer have a hold on them.
The singer then goes on to talk about being rejected and how the person they once were is no longer desired. The line "Can you take it to market? Oh, you'll still be the pawn" suggests that they have been taken advantage of and are now deemed useless. The section "It was my idea to save your lovin' soul. I won't answer any more," suggests that the singer had tried to help someone but was now done with it. The line "I swallowed the snakes (baby baby no!)" is evocative of themes from the Bible or Greek mythology. The singer has suffered, and the shedding of their skin is a metaphysical release - an expression of the pain transformed.
Overall, the song is about the pain of letting go of the past and transforming into someone new. The lyrics are enigmatic and open to interpretation, but there is a universal feel about the song that everyone can relate to. The strains of the song are moody and atmospheric, driven by a catchy beat that sets the tone.
