Firefly
Chris Rea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside your soul
Go to its deepest place
Only you and I know
Can you see her?
There she is still shining bright
When the sun goes down
See her crimson glow through
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
The firefly
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
The lyrics of "Firefly" by Chris Rea talk about finding solace in a secret place within our souls. This secret place is only known to us and is the deepest and most intimate part of who we are. The firefly represents a symbol of hope and positivity, lighting up the darkest of nights. The firefly transcends time and space and reminds us that there will never be a goodbye as long as we still hold on to it. The song suggests that as long as we can see the firefly, we can always find peace and comfort within ourselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Go to that secret place
Reflect on your inner self and access your true feelings
Inside your soul
Within your innermost being
Go to its deepest place
Look beyond the superficial and access the core of your emotions
Only you and I know
This is a private, personal experience that only you and someone you're close to understand
Can you see her?
Are you aware of the presence of something that brings light to your life?
There she is still shining bright
This thing that brings light still exists and is still powerful
When the sun goes down
During times of darkness or uncertainty
See her crimson glow through the darkest of nights
This thing that brings light can be seen even in the darkest of times
She smiles and says Everything is alright
This thing that brings light reassures you that everything is going to be okay
There will never be goodbye
This thing that brings light will always be with you
While we still see the firefly
As long as we're aware of the power and presence of this thing that brings light
The firefly
This thing that brings light and reassurance
She smiles and says Everything is alright
This thing that brings light is still reassuring you that everything is going to be okay
There will never be goodbye
This thing that brings light will always be with you
While we still see the firefly
As long as we're aware of the power and presence of this thing that brings light
