Celebration
Silver Disco Explosion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath the waves where I can come inside
A reveille, told in fractured time
Only in this way will I become alive
Fill me with your love, I'm standing by
You and you alone, don't ask me why
There's an inner place I cannot find
So S O L and petrified
I wait for you, you never come
You're bleeding through, I must be numb
And you are just a dream, I cannot find
From under what you see, don't ask me why
Don't leave it alone, my love, my wreckage
I ain't too weak to run, too slow, I'm coming
Once I count the number down to the end
Or there around free or thus
Forever bound, for forever's coming down
And finally
Fill me with your love, I'm by your side
You and you alone, don't ask me why
For you, I will be there, I just can't hide
From way beyond the glare, I'll tell you why
"Celebration" by Silver Disco Explosion is a song about seeking to connect with one's inner self and with another person through a transcendent experience. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who wants to escape the mundane reality of everyday life and find a deeper meaning in existence. The opening lines speak of a desire to be taken to a place that is above the tide and beneath the waves, symbolizing a spiritual realm that is beyond the troubles of the world. The singer wants to be filled with love and to become alive in a way that can only be achieved through a fractured time, implying that this connection is something that transcends the linear progression of time.
The lyrics are poetic and suggestive, leaving much room for interpretation. They suggest a sense of longing, of wanting to connect with something or someone that is out of reach. The singer is looking for a soulmate who can take them out of their inner dissolution and lead them to a higher plane of existence. However, the song also suggests that this quest may be futile, as the singer is "S O L and petrified," unable to find the inner peace they seek. The song is full of ambiguity, leaving the listener to decide whether the singer's quest is successful or not.

Take me to a place, high above the tide
Bring me to a peaceful state of mind, far away from the tumultuous waves of life
Underneath the waves where I can come inside
Allow me to be submerged and enveloped by the tranquility of my surroundings
A reveille, told in fractured time
An awakening that is being ushered in gradually, in fragments of time
Only in this way will I become alive
Only by embracing this new-found awakening will I truly feel alive
Fill me with your love, I'm standing by
Shower me with your affection, I am waiting and ready
You and you alone, don't ask me why
The love I seek is unique and cannot be explained with reason
There's an inner place I cannot find
I am struggling to discover a hidden part of myself
So S O L and petrified
I feel alone and frozen with fear
So, every time you blow your mind
Every time you amaze me with your thoughts and actions
I wait for you, you never come
I anticipate your arrival, but you never show up
You're bleeding through, I must be numb
Your emotions are spilling out, but I am unable to feel them
And you are just a dream, I cannot find
You seem too good to be true, like a figment of my imagination
From under what you see, don't ask me why
There are hidden depths to my character that I cannot explain
Don't leave it alone, my love, my wreckage
Do not abandon me, my beloved, even though I am broken
I ain't too weak to run, too slow, I'm coming
I am not too fragile to move on, I will reach you soon enough
Once I count the number down to the end
When my life is nearly over, time becomes more precious
Or there around free or thus
I will either find freedom or accept my fate
Forever bound, for forever's coming down
No matter what, I am tied to this moment in time, forever
And finally
And in conclusion
Fill me with your love, I'm by your side
Continue to shower me with your love and support, I am always by your side
You and you alone, don't ask me why
Your love is the only thing I need, and I cannot explain why
For you, I will be there, I just can't hide
I will always be there for you, I cannot conceal my feelings
From way beyond the glare, I'll tell you why
From a distant future, I will explain my emotions to you
