School's Out
Daphne & Celeste Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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!
The lyrics of Daphne & Celeste's School's Out express a sense of rebellion and defiance towards the education system. The song seems to suggest that the two singers are uninterested in pursuing their academic pursuits and would rather take a break from everything that they hate. The first few lines of the song appear to be a mockery of the academic environment, as the teacher attempts to lecture on the importance of organic chemistry, but is interrupted by the two singers' lack of interest. The chorus that follows is a declaration of the school year's end, "School's out for summer, School's out forever, School's blown to pieces", and reflects the singers' attitude towards their academic responsibilities.
The song also contains a sense of disapproval towards the hierarchy in high school. The lyrics suggest that Daphne & Celeste do not care about popularity and consider the prom king and queen to be just a couple of clowns. They only seek to know the party that is happening that night. The song evokes the concept of nihilism and rebellion, with lines such as "No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks" that suggest the idea of seeking freedom from the authority figures in school.
Overall, Daphne & Celeste's School's Out represents a sense of rebellion, nihilism and freedom. The song reflects the opinion of many teenagers that consider school to be an unpleasant experience that they would rather avoid. It is a song that celebrates the summer break and lets off some teenage angst, which resonates with the listeners.

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.

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.
