Fireflies
Niila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A getaway night from the lights of the city,
twilight sky looking bright ´cause we light it.
Magic around as we dance in a crowd of glowing hearts.
Oh, we go vertigo, no fear of letting go.
Yeah, music heals the soul, and it´s love that makes us whole.
Like the fireflies in the night.
Let our hearts shine and bring the light.
All my brothers and sisters, with their souls on fire.
And just like the fireflies do.
We let it shine through.
It´s like a safe zone where you count on your buddy.
The kind of home that you can´t buy with your money.
I look around thinking these are the nights that make life worth living for.
Oh, we go vertigo, no fear of letting go.
Yeah, music heals the soul, and it´s love that makes us whloe.
Like the fireflies in the night.
Let our hearts shine and bring the light.
All my brothers and sisters, with their souls on fire.
And just like the fireflies do.
We let it shine through.
We let it shine through.
Like the fireflies in the night.
Let our hearts shine and bring the light.
All my brothers and sisters, with their souls on fire.
And just like the fireflies do.
Like the fireflies in the night.
Let our hearts shine and bring the light.
All my brothers and sisters, with their souls on fire.




And just like the fireflies do.
We let it shine through.

The magic of the moment is symbolized by the fireflies that flit around them, and the feeling of vertigo or dizziness that they experience suggests a sense of abandon and surrender to the power of the music.


The line "music heals the soul, and it's love that makes us whole" speaks to the transformative potential of music and community. In this context, the safety and support of the group is emphasized as a kind of sanctuary or home that cannot be bought with money. The singer looks around at the people surrounding them and recognizes the value of these moments in life as ones that give us a reason to keep going and remind us what is truly important.
