Celebrate Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh my God, yes
[Verse 1]
I’ve come a long way since high school
Just look at all these scars of mine
You should probably check my vitals
I swear down, it feels real this time
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I’m sure it’ll pass
Anxiety can be deceiving, it’s the demons, relax, relax
Just ride the feeling when you feel it b-b-beating too fast
[Chorus]
It’s a throwback to the old days
I slip back to my old ways
It’s the wrong time to break
It’s the right time to breathe
Tryna catch a breath in a hurricane
Like tryna punch a hole in the cellophane
While everybody celebrates
But they don’t know I’m trapped
Show me how to numb the pain
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
So I can finally celebrate
[Post-Chorus]
No, it’s so bad
No, absolutely not
I’m sorry to let you down, but, uh
I’m, I’m, I’m not gonna come tonight
I’m just
I’m just, yeah
[Verse 2]
I’ve come a long way from nowhere
I’ve given up on friends of mine
‘Cause when I needed friends, they weren’t there
A phone call coulda saved my life
Then I fought back and they crawled back
Like sewer rats and I saw that
Fake love, I don’t fall for that
So when they call me I don’t call back no more
I don’t wanna hate myself no more, no more, no more
[Chorus]
It’s a throwback to the old days
I slip back to my old ways (Old ways)
It’s the wrong time to break (It’s the wrong time to break)
It’s the right time to breathe
Tryna catch a breath in a hurricane
Like tryna punch a hole in the cellophane
While everybody celebrates (While everybody celebrates)
They don’t know I’m trapped
Show me how to numb the pain
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
So I can finally celebrate
[Bridge]
(Na-na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na-na-na)
(Na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na) ‘Cause I don’t know how to celebrate
(Na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na-na-na, na) No, I don’t, no, I don’t, no, I don’t, oh, no
Oh, no, no more, no more
(Na-na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na-na-na) Can anybody hear me?
(Na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na) Can anybody hear me?
(Na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na-na-na, na) No, oh
‘Cause I don’t know how to celebrate
[Chorus]
It’s a throwback to the old days (Old days)
I slip back to my old ways (Old ways)
It’s the wrong time to break
It’s the right time to
(Breathe, hurricane) Tryna catch a breath in a hurricane
Like tryna punch a hole in the cellophane (Cellophane)
While everybody celebrates

Celebrate Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
He’s feeling excited and overwhelmed all at once.
[Verse 1]
Here, he’s looking back at how far he’s come since his younger days. Life has left him with emotional scars, but this time, the progress he feels seems real. Still, he battles anxiety and doubts that creep up. He knows that these feelings can play tricks on him, so he tries to stay calm and just ride the waves of fear and nervous energy when they get too intense.
[Chorus]
He’s thrown back into memories of how he used to be. Even though he’s trying hard not to break down, he struggles to keep breathing through the chaos. It’s like trying to do something impossible, while everyone around him is happy and partying, completely unaware of his inner struggles. Deep down, he just wants someone to show him how to numb the hurt so that maybe he can feel free enough to celebrate like everyone else.
[Post-Chorus]
He’s feeling so low that he cancels plans and pulls away from people. He can’t fake being okay, so he decides not to show up. It’s a quiet moment where he’s just trying to be honest about not feeling up to it.
[Verse 2]
Now he talks about feeling completely abandoned in the past. When he needed friends the most, they weren’t there for him. A simple call could have made a difference, but it never came. Later, when he found strength and started doing better, those fake friends tried to come back into his life. But he sees through their fake love now. He chooses not to let them back in because he’s tired of the pain and doesn’t want to hate himself anymore.
[Chorus]
Once again, he’s reminded of how easy it is to slip back into bad habits and dark thoughts from the past. He knows it’s a terrible time to fall apart but the perfect time to breathe and heal. It feels like he’s fighting an impossible battle while the world moves on happily. He feels trapped inside his mind and is crying out for a way to escape the pain so that maybe, finally, he can celebrate and enjoy life like everyone else does.
[Bridge]
Here, he’s really pouring his heart out. He admits that he doesn’t even know how to celebrate or feel truly happy anymore. Even though he desperately wants to, it feels impossible. He’s crying out for someone to notice that he’s hurting, but it feels like nobody hears him. It’s a raw moment of loneliness where he’s stuck not knowing how to be joyful, even when he wishes he could be.
[Chorus]
He falls back again into the same cycle. Memories of old struggles come flooding back, and he’s trying hard to keep breathing through it. It feels like he’s fighting a crazy storm inside him while the world just keeps celebrating without noticing what he’s going through.
