Discover the story of the song > Fireworks – Mitski

The protagonist is feeling sad and expects that one day the sadness will become a part of her and she won't cry anymore. She continues to go about her daily routine, but there is a slight change in her eyes. She imagines a future where she is married to someone who is silent and holds a deep sadness inside. She will listen to the memories and cry, just like she imagines hearing fireworks and crying on a warm summer night. The repetition of "cry, cry, cry" at the end emphasizes the sadness she feels.
