Black Celebration
Embracing the Shadows: Monster Magnet's Black Celebration Explored
Lyrics
Let's have a black celebration
Expressing a desire for a dark, solemn gathering or event
Black Celebration
Reiterating the idea of a dark, solemn celebration
Tonight
Emphasizing that this celebration is happening tonight
To celebrate the fact
To mark the occasion
That we've seen the back
To acknowledge the passing of a difficult day or time
Of another black day
Reiterating the acknowledgment of enduring through a challenging day
I look to you
Looking towards someone else
How you carry on
Admiration for how this person continues despite adversity
When all hope is gone
When there seems to be no hope left
Can't you see
Asking if this person can perceive
Your optimistic eyes
Positive and hopeful eyes, appearing like an ideal situation
Seem like paradise
Comparing this optimism to paradise
To someone like
Expressing how this positive outlook contrasts with the speaker's own perspective
Me
Identifying with the speaker's feelings
I want to take you
Expressing a desire to hold this person closely
In my arms
Seeking solace and forgetting the day's failures
Forgetting all I couldn't do today
Repeating the notion of a dark celebration
Black Celebration
Reiterating the desire for this dark event
Black Celebration
Emphasizing the timing of this celebration
Tonight
To acknowledge the passing of a difficult day or time
To celebrate the fact
To mark the occasion
That we've seen the back
Reiterating the acknowledgment of enduring through a challenging day
Of another black day
Looking towards someone else
I look to you
Admiration for how this person continues despite adversity
And your strong belief
Referencing this person's firm convictions
Me, I want relief
The speaker seeks relief, contrasting their own feelings with the other person's beliefs
Tonight
Reiterating the timing of the need for consolation
Consolation
The speaker desires comfort
I want so much
Expressing a strong longing for something
Want to feel your touch
Desiring physical closeness or connection
Tonight
Reiterating the timing of the desire for physical closeness
Take me in your arms
Seeking solace and forgetting the day's failures
Forgetting all you couldn't do today
Repeating the notion of a dark celebration
Black Celebration
Expressing a toast to the dark celebration
I'll drink to that
Reiterating the concept of raising a toast to this event
Black Celebration
Reiterating the idea of a dark, solemn celebration
Tonight
Emphasizing the timing of this celebration happening tonight
