Firecracker
Lions Head Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the grass was always greener on the other side
No one is a stranger to the hard life, the hard life
Firecracker, walls around her, live from honest, so we talk about it
All that racket, harm must have it, lets be modest, cause she's not a goddess
There comes a time, feel a sense of dangers
There's another life, don't know what awaits you on the last ride Some must say it'll be alright, last ride, some must say it'll be alright Firecracker, walls around her, live from honest, so we talk about it
All that racket, harm must have it, lets be modest, cause she's not a goddess
In Lions Head's song "Firecracker," the lyrics contemplate a sense of longing for something better in life. The opening verse, "Slow dive, the grass was always greener on the other side," suggests a sort of lethargic and unenthusiastic approach to life, where despite the promise of greener pastures, one doesn't try to attain them. The next line, "No one is a stranger to the hard life, the hard life," is a harsh reminder that life is hard, and everyone goes through periods of struggle.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Firecracker, walls around her, live from honest, so we talk about it / All that racket, harm must have it, let's be modest cause she's not a goddess." The repetition of "Firecracker" could symbolize a person with a fiery personality, someone who is explosive and full of energy. However, the "walls around her" suggest a barrier that prevents others from getting too close. The line "live from honest, so we talk about it" could be an invitation to talk about one's feelings, where the "racket" and "harm" are the inner demons we all carry. Lastly, the line "let's be modest cause she's not a goddess" reminds us that we are all only human, and it's okay not to be perfect.
The last verse is an acknowledgment that life is unpredictable and that there is always a sense of danger. The line "There's another life, don't know what awaits you on the last ride," suggests accepting that death is inevitable, and none of us know what will come next. The conclusion "Some must say it'll be alright, last ride, some must say it'll be alright" has a touch of optimism, that no matter what happens in life, there will always be someone to reassure us that things will be okay.

Slow-dive, the grass was always greener
