Firework
Ronan Parke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel is paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
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 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe,awe
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 the 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 if July
'Cause baby you're a firework,
Cone on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
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
The song “Firework” by Ronan Parke is an uplifting and inspiring anthem about overcoming challenges and finding one's inner strength. The song begins by comparing the feeling of being lost and wanting to start again to a plastic bag drifting in the wind. The lyrics then delve into the feeling of fragility and pressure, like a house of cards one blow from caving in. The song then takes a more optimistic tone as it acknowledges the potential for change and the spark that lies within everyone.
The chorus calls on listeners to take control and to ignite the light within themselves, to shine like the fireworks on the Fourth of July, and to let their colors burst. The song goes on to remind us that each person is unique and irreplaceable and should embrace their individuality. Finally, the song encourages listeners to have hope for the future and to trust that even after the darkest times, good things can come and shine brighter than the moon.

@BloodxRose27
Bro, like JB or not, he's fucking talented too, they both are. And yes I'm aware this comment was 8 years ago.
@richardmagnus5672
This is such a difficult and demanding song to sing at full voice, and Ronan does impressively fine, and with such gifted voice, and the studio version is even greater to hear; this was too fast in tempo and added unnecessary extra difficulty. Thank you Ronan for your unbelievable voice, the very best I've ever heard in a boy of this age, a true gift for us who know about voices, a true gift and relief at this very kind of time!
@sammiho419
