Firefly
Mura Masa ft Nao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pavement's turning into gold
And it's risin' up into my eyes
Up on my back I feel the static and more
Tripping the wire, surrounded in time

I see this as mystical
I'm sure that you know
See this as mystical
I'm sure that you know

Just say
You'll be my firefly
Take everything or nothing at all

Just say
You'll be my firefly
Take everything or nothing at all

Just say "yes"
Just say "yes"
Just say
"I'd rather have everything than nothing at all"

Just say "yes"

Sorry I've got none to pose
Images I pictured inside
Everything I've tried to close
Carrying the weight on my back I feel the static and more
Tripping the wire, surrounded in time

I see this as mystical
I'm sure that you know

See this as mystical
I'm sure that you know

Just say
You'll be my firefly
Take everything or nothing at all

Just say
You'll be my firefly
Take everything or nothing at all

Just say "yes"
Just say "yes"
Just say
"I'd rather have everything than nothing at all"





Just say "yes"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Firefly" by Mura Masa ft Nao seem to express a longing for a deep connection and a desire to be understood. The first two lines about pavement turning into gold and rising up into the singer's eyes could represent a sense of wonder and awe, something that fills the singer's entire being. However, this experience is also overwhelming and possibly even frightening, as evidenced by the line "up on my back I feel the static and more." It is as if the singer is being electrified or charged with a powerful force.


The repeated line "I see this as mystical, I'm sure that you know" seems to suggest that the singer is not alone in their experience, that they believe there is someone else out there who understands what they are going through. They are searching for this person or connection and asking them to be their "firefly," to provide light and guidance in the darkness. The lines "take everything or nothing at all" and "I'd rather have everything than nothing at all" suggest that the connection the singer is seeking is deep and all-encompassing, that they are willing to risk everything for it.


Overall, the lyrics of "Firefly" express a sense of yearning for a meaningful connection and a willingness to take risks for that connection.
