Firework
Maria Semenova 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
In Maria Semenova's song "Firework," she presents a powerful motivational message to the listener. The opening lines urge the listener to confront their feelings of helplessness or insignificance, and to acknowledge the potential for change. The metaphor of a plastic bag being blown around by the wind represents the feeling of aimlessness or lack of purpose that many people experience. The line "like a house of cards, one blow from caving in" emphasizes the fragile nature of one's mental state, and the possibility of falling apart. However, amidst this despair and vulnerability, Semenova offers hope, reminding the listener that there is still a spark, a glimmer of potential within them that they can ignite and let shine.
The chorus of the song reinforces this uplifting message, telling the listener that they are a firework, with the potential to create a dazzling display of color and light. The repeated line "make 'em go 'aah, aah, aah'" emphasizes the power and impact that the listener's actions can have on those around them. Semenova encourages the listener to embrace their unique qualities and not feel like a "wasted space." She reminds them that the future holds promise and positivity, and that even after a dark time, a rainbow can appear. Finally, the song ends with the repeated image of a firework exploding and shining bright in the night sky, a symbol of the listener's own potential and worth.
