David Choi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
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 all in awe, awe, awe
Oh, you're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
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 you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could 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 all in awe, awe, awe
So don't let them take your life for granted
You're the only one who needs to rule your world
When life leaves you feel empty handed
Light on and show what you're worth
'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
And baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
And make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, aw
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, aw
'Cause baby you're a firework
The song "Firework" by David Choi is a motivational anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and not to give in to the pressures and insecurities of the world. In the first verse, the lyrics use the metaphor of a plastic bag drifting through the wind and feeling lost and aimless. The imagery of a house of cards about to collapse emphasizes the fragility of life and how one setback can feel like the end of the world. However, the chorus encourages listeners to find the spark within themselves, ignite their passion, and let it shine like a firework. The metaphor of firework is used to show that it is not necessary to blend in with the crowd but to stand out and be yourself because everyone has the potential to be a "firework."
The second verse alludes to the idea that even after facing obstacles and feeling buried deep, there is always a chance for a comeback. The lyrics convey that everyone is unique and irreplaceable, and one must believe in themselves to find their true calling. The line "after a hurricane comes a rainbow" is an optimistic message that encourages listeners to hold on when things seem bleak because there is always a brighter tomorrow. The bridge of the song emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's life and not letting others determine their worth. The final chorus reiterates that everyone has the potential to be like a firework and leave a lasting and awe-inspiring impression on the world.

But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you

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

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

I'm not really keen on this song back when it's sung in original mix, but after hearing this version.. It brought MORE meaning with its tune and sweetness. More heart-reaching.. I'm touched and felt my heart beating stronger than ever. Just, Thank you .. Whoever you are
