Firecracker Lyrics

Cover art for Firecracker lyrics by Ryan Adams

Here's a very random interpretation:

Although Ryan wrote this album before September 11, 2001, the last stanza really sounds like a tribute to the passengers on the flight that crashed in Somerset County in Pennsylvania. Read carefully:

so when does the plane go down 'cause i'm gonna ride it 'til it hits the ground then go out with a fight...

I doubt it's what Ryan intended, but it kind of works, on one level. Creepy.
