Costume Party
Two Door Cinema Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I felt on in silence
No-one thinks what I'm doing is the right way forward
You'll see it's not just a dream now
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't know
You're too young, you're never gonna know why it hit me
When I felt on in silence
No-one thinks what I'm doing is the right way forward
You'll see it's not just a dream now
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
It's what you get when you try to educate a black sheep
You can't, you won't, you never will
I'm gonna show you what it takes to see the future
It's hard but not impossible
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't know
You think you know, you don't
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
You think you know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh
Know oh oh oh

And I believe this costume party is over
Before it gets started
And I believe this costume party is over
And I believe this costume party is over
Before it gets started
And I believe this costume party is over, over, over
The lyrics to Two Door Cinema Club's Costume Party are a mix of introspective thoughts and a call to action. The singer acknowledges that they are young and experiencing a strong emotion that others around them may not understand or support. The repeated phrase "You think you know, you don't know" emphasizes the sense of isolation the singer feels. They believe that they have discovered something important, but others are not on the same page.
The verse "It's what you get when you try to educate a black sheep" suggests that the singer feels like an outsider who is not understood by the mainstream. However, they are determined to show others what it takes to see the future, even if it's challenging. The final lines suggest that the costume party, a metaphor for a moment of frivolity, is over, indicating a sense of urgency and purpose.
The lyrics of Costume Party convey a sense of individualism and a rejection of conformity, something that is echoed in the band's music and overall aesthetic. The song also highlights the challenges and struggles young people face when trying to assert themselves and make their voices heard. The repeated chorus and catchy melody create a sense of defiance and determination that is both empowering and relatable.

You're too young, you're never gonna know why it hit me
You're too inexperienced to understand why this thing affected me so deeply
When I felt on in silence
When I kept my feelings to myself
No-one thinks what I'm doing is the right way forward
Everybody doubts my approach to this situation
You'll see it's not just a dream now
My plan is coming to fruition and it's a reality now
You think you know, you don't know
You assume you understand, but you really have no clue
Know oh oh oh
You should really take notice of this
It's what you get when you try to educate a black sheep
This is the result when you try to teach someone who is different from everyone else
You can't, you won't, you never will
You're unable, unwilling, and never going to change
I'm gonna show you what it takes to see the future
I'm determined to teach you what it means to plan ahead
It's hard but not impossible
It's challenging, but achievable
And I believe this costume party is over
I think it's time to put an end to this charade
Before it gets started
Before it even has a chance to begin
And I believe this costume party is over, over, over
I really want to emphasize that it's time to stop pretending

If I ever go on a road trip I swear I'll make a bunch of CD's with nothing but Two Door Cinema Club on them. Their music just screams relaxation and adventure.

I'm so glad they've gotten the recognition and popularity they deserve! They're so talented, I first heard them in 2010 and none of my friends had heard of them :(
Welcome to the Danger Days
I remember discovering these guys last year. I would always listen to songs like this and wished that they would make it on an album
