Rejoice
Hercules Love Affair Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's tight
The more convict
The crime
Tears are not needed
Did you have your lot today?
Of guilt and sorrow
Secrets have taught you
Live life with joy

Go on and just do it
Why won't you come and take it?
Go on and just do it
Why won't you come and take it?

Slave to the darkest hour
We're longing for the light

Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice every situation
Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice, don't let life pass you by
Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice every situation
Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice, don't let life pass you by

You crave focus with no meaning
You pray again to the heroine
You keep on looking for
Something to get on over
But the journey meaning and rule your life

Go on and just do it
Why won't you come and take it?
Go on and just do it
Why won't you come and take it?

Slave to the darkest hour
We're longing for the light

Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice every situation
Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice, don't let life pass you by
Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice every situation
Rejoice from this very day
Rejoice, don't let life pass you by

Go on and just do it
Ooooh go on
Go on and just do it
Come and take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it




Take it
Come and take it

It's clear that the singer believes that no matter what difficulties life may throw their way, it's always possible to find happiness and satisfaction in the present moment.
