School`s Out
Daphne & Celeste Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Class, now I would like to draw your full attention
To the impact that organic chemistry will have on your everyday life
Excuse me, Daphne and Celeste would you please pay attention?
Wake up, ah, I'm sorry

Sittin' in the class is a pain in the neck
How's about me takin' a three-year rain check
Gonna do what I want don't want to graduate
Gonna take a break from everything that I hate

Hey there Teach I'm talking to you
You can't tell me what to do!
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's blown to pieces

Head strain ? brain drain
School is such a pain
No tears ? all cheer
We want out of here

Don't care ?bout no popularity crown
The prom king an' queen are
Just a couple of clowns
We can read ? and we can write

What we need to know is where's the party tonight
Hey there Teach?
School's out for summer?
No more pencils, no more books
No more teachers, dirty looks

Out for summer, out till' fall
We might not go back at all




School's out for summer?
School's out for summer!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daphne & Celeste's School's Out song talk about the pain that school brings to students and how they want to take a break from it. The song starts by having the teacher draw the students' attention to organic chemistry and its impact on their lives. However, the two singers, Daphne and Celeste, are disinterested and want to take a rain check from school. They plan to take a break from everything they hate and want to enjoy their lives.


The song highlights the feeling of rebellion and dismissal that many teenagers feel about school. Daphne and Celeste don't want to follow the traditional path of graduating and finding a job; they want to have fun and enjoy their lives. They address the teacher, telling him that he can't tell them what to do. The chorus of the song says that school is over for the summer and that it might be over forever. The lyrics show how school can be frustrating and annoying, and students feel liberated when it's out.


The last verse of the song highlights that popularity and academic success are not as important as having fun. The singers mention that they can read and write, but what they care about is where the party is tonight. The lyrics show how teenagers prioritize having fun over academics, which is a common view among high school students.

I discovered them last night due to a TikTok discussing their Reading performance. In a way, I feel like they were ahead of their time with the trolling. The antics special effects (i.e: the high pitched voices), and even their songs give off meme humor. Even if it wouldn’t necessarily be today’s meme humor but late 00s to very early 2010s humor.

One year later, this song reverberates within me. Louder than any hymn, louder than the anthem of any nation, more compelling than the whispered promise of a new love. The rivers flow backward, the skies are poisoned, and yet I am happy.

I love Barry Lewis My name Jeff

This song saved my life, it encouraged my drinking so much that I forgot this song existed, thereby fixing my life.

Completly agree with you there, no-one sings this song better than Alice Cooper.

I look out across the smoldering wreckage of the land that was once my home, empty now, save for the putrefying dead, and this song is my only thought and my only memory. I am content.
