Rebel
Celtic Rumours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's not so sure now
Where he was last night
He's not so sure now
What's wrong and what's right
And the angels in heaven
But you don't even listen
You don't stop to think twice
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
I know where I'll be
I know where I'll be
One time an angel
One time a lover
Your ending was fatal
As you headed for cover
And now that it's over
You still seem to see
It was fun while it lasted
It was fun to be free
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
I know where I'll be
I know where I'll be (Yeah)
You know where I'll be
You know where I'll be
You know
You know where I'll be
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
I know where I'll be
I know where I'll be
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
And the rebels sing
The lyrics of "Rebel" by Celtic Rumours show a character who is unsure of himself and his decisions. He doesn't know what's right or wrong, and even though he has access to advice from heavenly angels, he doesn't take it into consideration. The rebellion in the song is an act of self-assertion and the search for personal freedom, a common theme in many Celtic Rumours songs. The message of the song is to encourage listeners to embrace their individuality and not to be afraid to take risks in life.
The repeated phrase "And the rebels sing" is used to emphasize the importance of rebellion and speaking out, and to create a sense of unity among individuals who may otherwise feel alienated or alone in their attempts to be independent. The line "Your ending was fatal as you headed for cover" is a reference to the dangers of conforming to society's conventions and the consequences that can result from not pursuing one's own path.
