I
Fireworks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glory days
I've wasted them away
Looking forward to getting colder
A greeting card for the holidays
Why do I always keep running towards nothing
I threw my heart into a dark alley that no one goes

I've traveled so far
But all I've done is come back home
I can't explain where my light is
But I can sit back
Fill my heart
I'm lost like a child's mind caught on the fences
And look at these holes in my jeans
They never brought me anything, no

I stopped searching for the holy ghost
'Cause I'm in hell
If it's guts that I need
I'll be an organ thief
I'll tear you apart
Tear you apart

Find me somewhere in the dark
Find me somewhere in the dark
Find me somewhere in the lake
I'm a stone sinking faster
Makes my bones ache
Life skips me on the way

I stopped searching for the holy ghost
'Cause I'm in hell
If it's guts that I need
I'll be an organ thief
I'll tear you apart
Tear you apart

I stopped searching for the holy ghost
I'm already in hell
If it's guts that I need
I'll be an organ thief
I'll tear you apart
Tear you apart
Right from the start




Right from the start
I was born in the dark

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fireworks's song "I Was Born In The Dark" express the feeling of being lost and aimless, searching for something that isn't there. The singer has "wasted" their "glory days" and is now looking forward to "getting colder", suggesting a sense of resignation and lack of hope. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, in which the singer muses on their own sense of emptiness, wondering why they always run towards "nothing". They describe throwing their heart into a "dark alley" that no one goes to, suggesting a sense of isolation and abandonment.


The song then moves into a more introspective mode, with the singer reflecting on their own sense of identity. They describe having "traveled so far" but ultimately being back where they started, and not knowing where their "light" is. Despite this, they speak of being able to "sit back" and "fill" their heart, suggesting a sense of acceptance and making the best of what they have. The repeated lines "I stopped searching for the holy ghost / 'Cause I'm in hell" further underline the singer's feelings of disillusionment and despair.


The final section of the song contains more vivid imagery, with the singer asking to be found "somewhere in the dark" or "somewhere in the lake". They describe themselves as a "stone sinking faster", which "makes my bones ache". The final repetition of "tear you apart" suggests a sense of aggression or frustration, and the song ends with the repeated refrain "I was born in the dark".
