He has this like problem and its hard for it hard for him to sleep and how he says hes tired of counting sheep meaning tired of try to sleep and Id rather stay awake when im asleep thats the also proof but i might just be a guy on drugs. :)
I suppose this could have a deeper meaning about a man who loves to dream, and is fallen in love with a world created in his head when he's asleep and wanting to stay there, or then again it just could be some guy on drugs
the best thing about this song is that it has no vulgarity or innuendo, most song have that now, and this song is just is what it is =) beautiful song
@UberGlossy I don't think it matters that only a few parts say Fireflies...lol I've heard song titles that aren't in the lyrics at all. What? Do you want the guy to repeat 'Fireflies' 10 times in every line of the song or something? Sheesh.
I was playing Team Fortress 2 yesterday, and the server I was playing on had a Jukebox, so players could listen to music. This was the number 2 most popular song. YEAHHHHHHH Gamers have an alright sense of music, it seems.
I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVE SONG I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVE THIS SONG I WANT 2 HUG HIM 4 MAKING THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if only i could) i am goin 2 1 of his concerts SOME DAY!! and touch his hand and SCREAM the lyrics when he sings it <3
@N7i3N This song is talking about a disco ball in his room... they rnt real fireflies. they're dancing reflections off of a disco ball. when he cant sleep, the "Fireflies" keep him up, and give him comfort when nothing else can. and as they give him comfort they send him to a fearless slumber. and if he gets afraid, they're still there when he opens his eyes. oh, fireflies. it seems that my friend from owl city is afraid of the dark too. us insomniacs could use a jar or two of fireflies. :]
@N7i3N It makes tons of sense. He loves not sleeping because the world is magical at night. That's why planet earth should turn slower so the night lasts longer. Insomniac - one who has a hard time falling asleep. It makes plenty of sense.
@N7i3N He has insomnia and his songs are about how he can't sleep, but he daydreams. His girlfriend died so he also talks about how he daydreams about her..if you think about it, this song makes perfect sense and it's really deep.
Hard to fin the original of the song because it was much better than the on on the radio and before they where much more famous and before people only know this song and no other songs. They actually have a better original than this song.They also have other songs not just this song that everybody knows because it is famous and on the radio and shit.
@joannachiang1994 you're right but some people like me listened to this song and searched other songs like I did! When I saw one friend in youtube to have a video with this song i like it and searched. Then i wrote Owl City then click on the song Hot Air Balloon i loved it too so i everyday know more and more songs of owl city and i think others did it too so you don't know what they like or not or what they know. =)
