Fireflies
John Dahlback feat Melanie Fontana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till the sun decides to set
We are nothing until then
We are nothing till the dark becomes our boarding light
Why we're lying and
Crying and hear each other
Wings can take the soul
All my friends are fireflies
Cause we're fighting for love
We're fighting for love
We make a paradise
All my friends are fireflies
We only glow at night
All my friends are fireflies
We only glow at night
Things comes at dawn
After dancing through a maze
Of right and wrong
But who knows the answer
With puzzle pieces in the sky
So we be together
We're rearranging till it's right
Till it's right
Why we're lying and
Crying and hear each other
Wings can take the soul
All my friends are fireflies
We can only see and set at night
Cause we're fighting for love
We're fighting for love
We make a paradise
All my friends are fireflies
We only glow at night
All my friends are fireflies
We only glow at night
The lyrics of "Fireflies" by John Dahlback feat Melanie Fontana portray the idea that everything seems dark and unclear until the sun sets, and the darkness becomes the guiding light. The song speaks of the struggle of fighting for love, how it can be frustrating and difficult, and yet, it's worth it. To overcome the numerous challenges, the artists sing about waiting for the dawn, rearranging puzzle pieces in the sky, and dancing through the maze of right and wrong.
The chorus reveals a deeper meaning of the song, highlighting how every person is unique, glowing and shining bright like fireflies, and only visible at night. The fireflies seem to symbolize the friendships that the artists have made while fighting for love. They create their own paradise, not necessarily one that is visible in the daylight but visible in the darkness. The song encourages people to come together, that dancing in the dark while fighting for love is worth it when surrounded by friends glowing as bright as fireflies.
This song is a beacon of hope for those fighting for love but frustrated by the roadblocks along the way.

Just wait
Be patient
Till the sun decides to set
Wait for the sun to go down
We are nothing until then
We are insignificant until nightfall
We are nothing till the dark becomes our boarding light
We are only something when darkness is our guide
Why we're lying and
Why we pretend to be something we're not
Crying and hear each other
Crying and listening to each other
Wings can take the soul
We can be set free
All my friends are fireflies
Everyone I know is a glowing presence
We can only see and set at night
We are only visible in darkness
Cause we're fighting for love
Because we are struggling for love
We make a paradise
We create our own heaven
All my friends are fireflies
Everyone I know is a glowing presence
We only glow at night
We only shine in the dark
Things comes at dawn
New things arrive in the morning
After dancing through a maze
After navigating a complex path
Of right and wrong
Of good and bad
But who knows the answer
But no one has the solution
With puzzle pieces in the sky
With the pieces of the puzzle in the stars
So we be together
So we can be connected
We're rearranging till it's right
We're reorganizing until we're satisfied
Till it's right
Until we feel it's perfect
Why we're lying and
Why we're pretending
Crying and hear each other
Crying and listening to each other
Wings can take the soul
We can be set free
All my friends are fireflies
Everyone I know is a glowing presence
We can only see and set at night
We are only visible in darkness
Cause we're fighting for love
Because we are struggling for love
We make a paradise
We create our own heaven
All my friends are fireflies
Everyone I know is a glowing presence
We only glow at night
We only shine in the dark

Almost 7 years later and this song is still my favorite vocal progressive house song of all time. I don't see any vocal progressive house song being able to top this in the near future, and if so, it will need to absolutely wow me and impress me in a way that I've never been impressed before. This song is vocal progressive house perfection, and I will forever love it
