Célébration
King! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the little girl you've been with cheated
And in the conversation had to go too far
Now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools
Shake your little butt, show 'em what you got
Hot and the men all want and the chase is on?
Now your flag is flying in the dark and cold
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools
It's in a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
Are y'all giving up? Don't want to know now
And everybody sees everybody in your town
Oh, and the small town girl she went and got a bar
She gonna shake it off she gonna give 'em what she's got
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using aw you know, I said it's meant for fools
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
In King!'s song "Celebration," the artist is speaking to someone who appears to be going through a tough time. The lyrics use vivid imagery such as "hang your weary head" and "dry your lily eyes" to paint a picture of someone who is defeated and possibly heartbroken. The song seems to encourage the listener to not be so hard on themselves and suggests that they let loose and celebrate life.
The phrase "using all you know it's meant for fools" can be interpreted in a few ways. It could be referring to the person's tendency to overthink and internalize their struggles or it could be a comment on the idea that using knowledge and intelligence to constantly analyze life can sometimes hinder one's ability to be happy. The line "see you're smoking up in the parking lot, shake your little butt, show 'em what you got" is an obvious nod to the idea of partying and letting lose as a way to relieve stress and celebrate life.
Overall, "Celebration" seems to be a song with a positive message about not getting bogged down by life's struggles and instead choosing to celebrate the good times. The lyrics are written in a poetic and metaphorical way, making the song open to interpretation and allowing listeners to relate it to their own experiences.
