Firework

What is a firework? Damn. Search it yourself in wikipedia. What I want to tell is what's behind the song "Firework" by Katy Perry. Why do I post it? Inspirational. Seriously, hear the lyrics closely. I tell you one by one in Indonesian.


Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Artinya: Pernah ngerasain gak, cuma jadi orang yang cuma sekilas berita dan gak pernah di bahas lagi tapi pengen mendadak terkenal lagi?


Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Artinya: Pernah ngerasain gak, terlalu rapuh dan sensitif jika ada sedikit perkataan yang menyinggung atau masalah yang datang?


Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Artinya: Pernah ngerasain gak, gak di dengerin orang lain dan bener-bener dikacangin pas kita ngomong sesuatu?


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
Artinya: Masih ada kesempatan untuk menjadi orang yang berguna. Pakailah otak kita sejernihnya dan pikirkan sesuatu untuk berbuat kebaikan.


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 let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
Artinya: Kamu bagaikan kembang api yang bisa menjadi orang berguna kapan pun dan membuat orang terpana dengan kebaikanmu. Biarkanlah warna dirimu menyala.


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 rainbowArtinya: Gak perlu berpikir bahwa kamu orang yang tidak berguna karena kamu adalah kamu, dan agar kamu tau, sehabis gelap terbitlah terang.

Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed
So you can 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
Artinya: Mungkin alasannya kamu masih belum bisa berbuat baik adalah karena kamu masih tertutup. Jika kamu sudah terbuka, kamu bisa berbuat dengan cepat dan tepat, dan kamu akan segera tahu.


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
Artinya: Kamu bisa lebih baik dari orang-orang disekelilingmu, karena kebaikan itu selalu ada pada dirimu.


Yes. That's it. Inspiring, huh? Yeah, every song has its own meaning. And this is one of the best that I ever heard. Good job for Katy Perry and this song's composer.
