A Celebration
Le Loup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when the walls are gold, and the halls are clear.
(can you see the sunrise?)
It makes me cry, because it looks so fine.
(could you love such violence?)
It hurts my eyes, but it breaks the silence.
Go, go, go into the summer,
(can you feel a heartbeat?)
It makes me cry, because it feels so fine.
(could you be so helpless?)
I’ll trade my heart for someone else’s.
Mornings, I can’t barely stand
The weight of meaning slows my breathing.
Water’s water, land is land,
but neither’s either by the evening
The lyrics of Le Loup's song, "A Celebration," revolve around summer and the feelings it brings. The lyrics first mention waiting for summer when the walls are gold and the halls are clear. The gold walls and clear halls represent the brightness and positivity that come with summer. The singer then asks if the listener can see the sunrise, which is a symbol of a new beginning and hope, but also acknowledges the violence that sometimes accompanies such changes.
In the second verse, the lyrics talk about going into the summer and feeling the heartbeat. The heartbeat represents vitality and energy that come with this season, and it makes the singer cry because it feels so fine. However, there is also a sense of helplessness as the singer trades their heart for someone else's.
The third and final verse of the song takes a different tone. The singer mentions how they can't stand the weight of meaning in the mornings, and how water and land don't matter as much by evening. It could be interpreted as feeling overwhelmed by the meaning and purpose of life, but also how things can change rapidly from one moment to another.
Overall, the lyrics of "A Celebration" convey a mix of emotions - hope, joy, helplessness, and overwhelming feelings.
