Firework
WapKing.In Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fireworks explode in the dark
I'm close enough to feel the spark
And celebrate a freedom that I've never known
A war I didn't fight, in a land that's not my home
Raise the flag and sing the song
United by a need to belong
But I have this nagging in the schemes of my heart
That I'm somebody else, just playing a part
You say you're free
You say you're free
You say you're free
You say you're free
You say you're free
And still, you think you haven't been programmed
You haven't been programmed
You haven't been programmed
You haven't been programmed
Because you're free
Because you're free
The dream was never really mine
I inherited the factory line
Just trying to find the beat
In the heart of the song
The tune it isn't bad
But the words they are all wrong
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Sometimes I wish I really believed
The pawn becomes a queen at the other side
Cinderella Monroe, bursting enemy lines
You say you're free
You say you're free
You say you're free
You say you're free
You say you're free
And still, you think you haven't been programmed (You say you're free)
You haven't been programmed (You say you're free)
You haven't been programmed (You say you're free)
You haven't been programmed (You say you're free)
Because you're free




Because you're free
Because you're free

Overall Meaning

The song Firework by WapKing.In touches on a range of themes, such as self-discovery, conventions, and social structures. The lyrics describe the experience of feeling a sense of detachment from the societal expectations and norms, and the search for one's true identity. The first verse acknowledges the celebration of the Fourth of July, a symbol of freedom, but it also suggests an ongoing struggle to achieve personal freedom. The singer identifies as someone who didn't fight in a war, yet still feels bound to the conventions of a society that does not truly represent them.


The lyrics also suggest that individual autonomy is a myth, and that society has programmed its members from birth to adhere to certain roles and actions. The second verse references the idea of inheriting a "factory line," implying that people are born into predetermined paths based on societal and cultural norms. Despite this pressure to conform, the song encourages listeners to rebel against this programming and challenge what they see as restrictions on their personal freedom.
