Firefly
Steps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was wishing for the past again
It all stopped but my world is
Slowly starting to turn again
So I want outside I stood in the rain
I saw the love and I felt the pain
I am alone but I'm on my way
'Cause I, cause I, I'll be okay
And you??? only on
And with my broken heart, I
You, you tried to kill my star
And leave me in the dark
But I am li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
I am a li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
Your bodies would never stop
Like a ghost in a nightmare
But then your lies woke me up
And I'll move on with my fairytale
And I walked outside and I saw the sun
I looked around, I smiled at to mine
Jumped in the cab and I'm on my way
'Cause I, 'cause I, I'll be okay
'Cause I, 'cause I, I'll be okay
And you??? only on
And with my broken heart, I
You, you tried to kill my star
And leave me in the dark
But I am li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
I am a li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
And you??? only on
And with my broken heart, I
You, you tried to kill my star
And leave me in the dark
But I am li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
I am li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
But I am li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
I am li-like a firefly
Like a firefly
Li-like a firefly
The lyrics to Steps's song Firefly are about moving on and healing from a past relationship that has caused hurt and pain. The singer wakes up and goes to work, but wishes to be back in the past when things were better. However, the world has stopped for her, but she slowly starts to turn again. She goes outside, stands in the rain and feels the love and pain. Although she is alone, she knows she will be okay and will continue on her journey.
The song speaks about a broken heart and someone who tried to kill her star and leave her in the dark, but the singer compares herself to a firefly, a creature that shines bright and brings light to dark places. She says she is like a firefly, shining bright and moving on like a ghost in a nightmare. The singer sees the sun again and smiles, getting into a cab and continuing her journey.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The singer is hurt and broken but doesn't let that define her. She embraces the pain and uses it to move forward and find her light, much like a firefly.
Line by Line Meaning
Wake up, go to work
Starting the day like any other, with routine and responsibilities
I was wishing for the past again
Nostalgia for a time before current struggles
It all stopped but my world is
Life has paused, but not everything has come to a halt
Slowly starting to turn again
Things are slowly getting back on track
So I want outside I stood in the rain
Seeking refuge and renewal in nature's cleansing waters
I saw the love and I felt the pain
The beauty and the sadness of life are both present and felt
I am alone but I'm on my way
Despite being alone, there is progress being made
'Cause I, cause I, I'll be okay
Affirming self-assurance in the face of adversity
And you??? only on
Addressing whoever caused harm, while questioning their motives
And with my broken heart, I
Acknowledging emotional pain, but determined not to be defeated by it
You, you tried to kill my star
Symbolic language for attempting to take away someone's dreams and aspirations
And leave me in the dark
Feeling lost and without direction
But I am li-like a firefly
A metaphor for resilience and internal light, despite external darkness
Like a firefly
Emphasizing the metaphor and strength within it
Your bodies would never stop
Referring to external obstacles which seem impossible to overcome
Like a ghost in a nightmare
An eerie and haunting feeling of being trapped in a bad situation
But then your lies woke me up
Being deceived and then coming to a realization which inspires action
And I'll move on with my fairytale
Finding a way forward which feels true to one's own inner story
And I walked outside and I saw the sun
A moment of clarity and hope, with a bright future ahead
I looked around, I smiled at to mine
Appreciating and finding joy in the people and things around oneself
Jumped in the cab and I'm on my way
Taking action and moving forward, ready for the next steps
I am li-like a firefly
Further reinforcement of resilience and inner strength
Like a firefly
Repeating the strong metaphor from earlier
I am li-like a firefly
Continuing to embody the metaphor of resilience and light
Like a firefly
Repeating the metaphor once more
