Firework★
★Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon




Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Overall Meaning

The song "Firework" by Katy Perry speaks to those who feel lost, alone, and hopeless, to remind them that they are valuable and unique. The opening verse compares the feeling of being directionless and insignificant to a plastic bag drifting in the wind. The second verse stresses the vulnerability and fragility of the person, as if they are a house of cards that could be destroyed with one strike. The third verse describes the feeling of being buried and unheard, screaming silently for help. However, the chorus serves as a beacon of hope to ignite the light within oneself and allow it to shine like fireworks, as the person is encouraged to show the world their worth and let their colors burst. Perry empowers her listeners to own the night like a Fourth of July celebration with their newfound confidence and self-acceptance. She ends with a repeated phrase of "Boom, boom, boom, even brighter than the moon," emphasizing the idea that once someone unlocks their inner power, there is no limit to how brightly they can shine.
