Celebration
Music Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who here wants to waste my time?
I'll give my body but not my mind
We can both celebrate
Pleasure in pain

Can I go back to sleep?
So I don't feel anything
This is how I like to be
Dreaming of nothing

Celebration

If you don't like the cops
Quit hanging out in parking lots
There are better places to be
Looking for trouble

Every day my heart breaks
I'm in love with my mistakes




As long as I don't hurt anybody
I'm having some fun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Music Band's song "Celebration" seem to explore themes of rebellion, apathy, and finding solace in one's own way of life. The opening lines, "Who here wants to waste my time? I'll give my body but not my mind," suggest a desire to resist societal expectations and norms. The singer seems uninterested in conforming to societal ideals and chooses to prioritize their own desires over societal expectations. This is further emphasized with the lines "Can I go back to sleep? So I don't feel anything. This is how I like to be. Dreaming of nothing." These lines convey a sense of detachment and avoidance of dealing with the realities of life, preferring instead to simply exist in a dream-like state of apathy.


The chorus, with the repeated word "Celebration," can be interpreted in different ways. It may signify a sarcastic or ironic celebration of the singer's chosen lifestyle, as they reject societal norms. The line "If you don't like the cops, quit hanging out in parking lots" suggests a defiance against authority and a call to find alternative spaces and activities that offer more satisfaction or excitement. The subsequent line "There are better places to be looking for trouble" further reinforces the rebellious nature of the singer's mindset.


The final lines, "Every day my heart breaks, I'm in love with my mistakes. As long as I don't hurt anybody, I'm having some fun," reflect a resignation to the singer's own flaws and failures. They acknowledge that their choices might lead to heartache, but they find a sense of freedom and enjoyment in embracing their own imperfect journey, as long as it does not harm others.


Overall, "Celebration" appears to be a critique of societal expectations and a celebration of individualistic choices, even if they don't align with conventional norms.
