Firework
Future Hitmakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drifting through 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?
Screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a wasted 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 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 4th of July
'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
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-ough-ough
'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
The lyrics of Future Hitmakers's song "Firework" are a metaphorical representation of how one may feel trapped within themselves, hopeless about their present and future, while also acknowledging that there is still a chance for them to unlock their true potential and make a difference. The first verse draws a comparison between the feeling of being aimless or stuck in life to that of a plastic bag and a house of cards, which can easily cave in. This highlights the fragility and instability of the human mind when one feels lost, stuck, or helpless. The second verse acknowledges the feeling of being unheard or even buried deep down, but gives hope that one can still ignite a spark within themselves and make it shine like the 4th of July, symbolizing the epitome of celebration.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that each person is a "firework," unique and has the ability to shine brightly and make a difference. The use of words like "let your colors burst" and "shoot across the sky" represent the idea of overcoming one's fears and limitations to achieve greatness. The bridge of the song further highlights that despite the difficulties and the obstacles one may face, it is essential to never give up and to see every drawback as an opportunity for growth.
Overall, "Firework" is an uplifting and empowering song that encourages people to tap into their potential and celebrate themselves, despite the adversities they face.
