*RESHARED ON JAN 31ST DUE TO GLITCHES WITH SCRATCH; originally posted on jan 20th if you like firework, listen to https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1270833533/ ☆⠀⠀"light your firework" ⠀firework is the first song on my comeback ep, 'debris'. i wrote this song about trying to refuse dimming yourself, and choosing loud, self‑expression over being small, safe and polite, while dealing with social pressures and judgement from peers. as we all know, being a teen or preteen can be one of the hardest parts of your life, so i wanted to write something empowering that doubles as a fun and danceable song which uses the metaphor of being a 'firework'! posted on bandlab and soundcloud (both @.elunarie) click the stage for a suprise! ☆⠀⠀credits ⠀voice: me! ⠀lyrics: me :) ⠀gif concept/idea: @lychiez ⠀mixing, vocal fx: me, on bandlab ⠀cover art/thumbnail: guess who ⠀instrumental: lonlioni on youtube ⠀firework code entirely by @pixelisator ☆⠀⠀lyrics Light your firework (Uh huh, uh huh) I'm a firework (Hey~) Everywhere I walk, walk Everywhere I talk, talk (Ugh, you're so loud) Say I’m 'too much,' (Why don't you shut up and get out my face?) say I'm 'too loud' (Hahah) Funny how I fill an empty crowd Camera flash got me seeing stars Count my wins by counting scars Knees, I'm kneeling, Need I repeat it?
