When Songs speak louder than Words



Katy Perry - Firework


Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught 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 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 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 colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

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 you're 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 blow
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 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 colors 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

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 slet your colors 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
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Ever wondered about your self worth?
Ever felt unwanted, dejected?

This song is the perfect song to groove to when you find that your self-confidence level is running low.

As my group consisting of Christine Chin, Shahrulnizzam, Jian Xiong and myself presented this video in front of the class,
I felt a chill running down my spine as I envisioned myself being projected as a 'Firework.'
One thing about a firework is this : It's magnificent splendor and grandeur truly strikes people. Even people from afar could spot a firework.
This is the message that we're trying to bring to our fellow friends :
We could be a Firework, only if we believe in ourselves.
We could shine as brightly as we want to, we can choose to stand out, or be trampled on.

Katy Perry was trying to bring across this message of "Believing in Yourself" through her song "Firework."
The message is subtle, yet clear.
One could shoot as far as you believe you can.

I don't know about the rest, but after watching this particular video clip, I felt my motivation levels soaring.
I felt ready to take on the world :P

Truly, Katy Perry's "Firework" is an amazing and awe-spiring song.
