the spark that turns mere survival into something worth screaming about

means the state of being strong, energetic, and fully alive — the force that keeps a body or thing vigorously going.

from From Latin vitalis, 'of life,' built on vita, 'life' — itself a cousin of vivere, 'to live,' and the whole vivid, vivacious, survive family. English borrowed it through the 1500s sense of 'the power to keep living,' and we've been chasing that power ever since.
