Fireflies
Inverness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're heading back home, to where you sleep.
And are you 'wake or not?
They spy on you while Zephyrus is gone.
You dream of them as ghosts,
but you're not frightened as you watch them go away.
The day is done, gone the sun.
And are you'wake or not?
Cause I've been watching you since i was born.
My wings are torn;
this must be the last time I fly home... to you.
The Inverness song Fireflies depicts a romantic connection shared between the singer and his lover, similar to how fireflies convey messages of love through their blinking lights. The song explores the idea of our dreams and reality colliding, forming a fusion of surreal experiences. The first verse seems to be narrated by the fireflies, saying that they dream about the singer and that they are heading to where the singer sleeps. The fireflies also seem to be curious about whether the singer is awake or not. The second verse is narrated by the singer, who acknowledges the presence of the fireflies and does not seem afraid of them. The day is over, and the luminiscent trees are lulling the singer to sleep, while someone has been watching over them since birth. The last line suggests that the singer is a butterfly and that this journey is the last time they would fly back to their lover.
The lyrics in Fireflies are evocative and vivid, conjuring a dreamy atmosphere. The reference to the Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind, and the luminiscent trees enhances the fantastical mood of the song. The fireflies, butterflies, and ghosts referred to in the song add to the reverie-like ambiance. The song's message is open to interpretation, but it could be said that the singer and their lover share a connection that transcends the physical realm, and the fireflies and butterflies are symbolic of that connection.
