"Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, 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 -- "Firework," Katy Perry"
"Here at Bottom 10 Headquarters, located beneath the 6-foot tall pile of pierogi crusts left by the "College GameDay" crew after last week's show in Pittsburgh, we believe that it is important to celebrate all life's victories, whether those triumphs be large or be they small. Won a national title? Hoist that big gold Eye of Sauron-looking trophy and savor the moment."
Lyrics compare feeling buried to an inner spark that must be ignited to shine, using 'Firework' imagery. Examples of celebrated victories include national titles, Heisman trophies, and single successful field goals during long losing streaks. Absurd celebratory behaviors are described alongside empathy for the desire to mark moments. UMass fired fireworks after a late field goal to create joy amid poor attendance and impending cold, with a practical argument about using frozen TNT before winter. College football culture, trophies, and humorous asides emphasize finding pride in small triumphs.
