Fireflies
Andy Michaels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's when our Souls first begun
100 Lives since then, some as lovers and some as friends
How many more before we're done
You left me alone, in AD 65
After the birth of our son
The pain in your eyes as you said goodbye
Another lesson soon begun
For eternity... to be near with me
For eternity... to be free with me
We're just Fireflies, With Golden wings on fire
As we are head towards the sun
We're just fireflies, keeping our dreams alive
Until the day when we are one
You were waiting, for me in 18
With Mother Nature on the run
Ancestral Spirits Calling
As we were free falling
Now our time has finally come
We're now swimming, in the sea of Ceres
Celestial stars shining above
When we swim up to see,
The heavenly galaxy
Our souls are already one
Without a future there is no past
From this world, that's all we ask
Once we heal our final scars
Our new home awaits in the Stars

You first met me, in 2000 BC
When our souls first met and began their journey
That's when our Souls first begun
The beginning of our shared existence
100 Lives since then, some as lovers and some as friends
We have shared many lives, some as romantic partners, others as friends
How many more before we're done
Wondering how many more lives we will share together
You left me alone, in AD 65
You left me after the birth of our child
After the birth of our son
Following the arrival of our child
The pain in your eyes as you said goodbye
The sadness you showed when we parted
Another lesson soon begun
Moving on to the next life, another lesson to be learned
For eternity... to be near with me
Desiring to be close to each other for all eternity
For eternity... to be free with me
Wishing to be free together forever
We're just Fireflies, With Golden wings on fire
We are like fireflies, with passion burning within
As we are head towards the sun
As we move towards a brighter future
We're just fireflies, keeping our dreams alive
We are holding onto our dreams and keeping them alive
Until the day when we are one
Until we finally become united as one
You were waiting, for me in 18
You were anticipating my arrival in the year 18
With Mother Nature on the run
Nature in a state of flux and ready for change
Ancestral Spirits Calling
The spirits of our ancestors guiding us
As we were free falling
Falling into this life together, guided by fate
Now our time has finally come
Our time to be together has arrived
We're now swimming, in the sea of Ceres
We are now together in a celestial place, free to be ourselves
Celestial stars shining above
The stars of the universe shining down upon us
When we swim up to see,
Finally seeing and understanding our place in the universe
The heavenly galaxy
The infinite expanse of the galaxy above us
Our souls are already one
We have already become one, united in this new incarnation
Without a future there is no past
Our past and future are intertwined and dependent on one another
From this world, that's all we ask
All we want from this life is to be together
Once we heal our final scars
Once we have finally overcome our past wounds
Our new home awaits in the Stars
We will finally find our permanent home among the celestial stars
