Celebration
Julia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are moved by your radiance
I have brought you this gold crown
I spliced its flowers together
Only the bees looking for flowers in spring go freely through the cool grass
Your voice is distinct in my ears
Now blessed lady, take this
Embellish your gold hair
No man alive approaches my good luck to ride with you
Though your face I never see
may my love go throughout life
as strong at the finish as now




at the turning point
This comes from a faithful hand

Overall Meaning

The song "Celebration" by Julia Holter is filled with cryptic and obscure lyrics that can elicit various interpretations from the listener. On the surface, the song appears to be about a mystical and romantic encounter between two people. The initial verse reads, "We are moved by your radiance. I have brought you this gold crown. I spliced its flowers together." This seems to describe an offering or gift given to the singer's love interest. There is an element of worship and awe as if paying homage to the goddess.


The following verses offer more clues to the song's true meaning. The singer speaks about the lady's voice being distinct in their ears and how they have been blessed to ride with her. Additionally, they mention how they haven't seen the lady's face, but they hope their love can endure till the end of time. The final line, "This comes from a faithful hand," confirms that the singer is declaring undying love and loyalty to the lady.


The song's meaning remains open to interpretation, but it could be about love, devotion, and the transcendental experience of falling in love with someone beyond physical attraction. The use of mystical imagery, honoring the divine feminine, and references to nature, all add to the otherworldly nature of the song.

“You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.”
Psalm 91: 5-7
