Hintergrund: Wenn man merkt, dass sich bestimmte Personen zum Negativen entwickeln, wird man nachdenklich und auch ein wenig wütend. Schließlich ist man, wenn man in den unterschiedlichsten Situationen als Kummerkasten beigestanden hat, meist nicht Schuld an der ganzen Sache, wird jedoch trotzdem meist zum Mitleiden degratiert.
'Congratulations' ist über eine Freundschaft, die durch solch eine negative Veränderung in die Brüche geht, weil der Liedsänger (das lyrische Ich) nicht weiter Lust hat, verletzt zu werden, obwohl er/sie helfen will. Er/Sie betrachtet das Ganze mit Sarkasmus.
Viel Spaß beim Lesen! :3
