Fireworks
yOya Lyrics

These eleven days of summer I have called you
During the summer, I have been trying to reach out to you

You always come when I call you
You are always there for me and respond whenever I need you

But I don't hear your feet
You come silently and unnoticeably, without me realizing it

We swallowed up the river
We consumed everything around us, taking everything in

But still we never found you
Despite our efforts, we never truly found what we were looking for

The season came and it drowned you
The passage of time and the changes around us have caused us to lose touch with what we were searching for

In sorrow and in heat
Throughout our journey, we experienced sadness and intensity

Oh what's happening?
Curiosity about the events around us and what they signify

Call it the nation's
Referring to the impact of these events on the entire country or society

Call it the nation's war
Labeling these events as a conflict that involves the whole nation

This morning we woke up
The start of a new day and a new opportunity to experience life

This morning we woke up old
The realization that time is fleeting and we are getting older with each passing day

I could feel your breathing
A sense of closeness and intimacy with someone

Your healing heart was beating
The other person has a kind and caring heart that has helped heal the singer

But now my head is beating???
A sense of confusion or disorientation that has replaced the comfort and security previously felt

The fireworks are funny
The visual spectacle of fireworks brings joy and amusement

The dirts fall in the water
The remnants of the fireworks fall into the water, creating a messy and dirty sight

Fizzling like???
Curiosity about what the sounds of the fireworks signify or resemble

The fizzing sounds of hell
A darker interpretation of the fireworks, as the sounds could be reminiscent of hellish noises

From here the days get shorter
As time passes, the days will start to feel shorter and time will slip away faster

Tireless but older
Despite our best efforts to maintain our energy and passion, we still age and grow older

Come on lets get older
An acceptance of aging and a willingness to embrace the future

And keep our hands held down
A desire to stay grounded and maintain a sense of connection to the present and the world around us

Oh what's happening?
A continuation of the earlier sense of curiosity and confusion about the state of the world

Call it the nation's
Returning to the idea that the events occurring are impacting the country or society as a whole

Call it the nation's war
Reaffirming the idea that these events can be seen as a conflict with wider societal implications

Oh it's happening
Realizing that these events are not isolated occurrences, but a larger trend or pattern that is unfolding

This morning we woke up
Reflecting on the passage of time and how each new day brings with it new challenges and opportunities

This morning we woke up old
Grounding the idea that time is a finite resource and that we are all getting older with each passing day

mhmmhmmhm
An interlude or pause, allowing for reflection and contemplation
