Firework
JonTron/Katy Perry/kyotosomo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Firework" is an anthem of empowerment and a call to embrace one's unique qualities. The opening lines, "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting thought the wind?", are a metaphor for feeling lost, directionless, and without purpose. The following lines, "Wanting to start again," suggest a desire to break free from this feeling and begin anew. The chorus encourages the listener to find the light within themselves, ignite it, and shine it brightly, owning the night like the Fourth of July. The metaphor of a firework is used to compare the listener to a spectacular display of beauty and power, capable of leaving people in awe.
The song encourages the listener to believe in themselves and not to give up, even when they feel buried deep and unheard. It reinforces the idea that everyone has something special and unique to offer, and they should let their true colors burst out. The lines "Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon, It's always been inside of you, you, you," emphasize that the light and potential have always been within the listener and that it's time to let it shine bright through the darkness.
Overall, "Firework" is a message of hope and self-belief, calling on people to embrace their uniqueness, overcome their fears, and let their light shine bright.
