Fireflies
Vultocazhe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're lighting up our way.
This moon above us is of no use.
The green lights seem to make everything so calm and clear in view.
We will escape this world, 'cause we're so tired and bored
And we are always so alone, so why should we return?
The mist will be our blanket to hide us from view.
And we'll look back at ourselves and try to understand what went wrong, when the fireflies are gone.
The fireflies have gone away from view (tell me what to do now)
Seems like they're giving us a new day.
Tell me why. Why they have to go?
'Cause I don't understand. (gone away)
In Vultocazhe's song "Fireflies," the lyrics are centered around the magic of the natural world and the desire to escape from our mundane existence. The fireflies are used as a metaphor for the fleeting moments of beauty that we experience in life, and the importance of cherishing those moments as they can be gone in an instant. The fireflies are described as lighting up the way, which represents the hope and guidance that these moments provide in our lives.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of being lonely and feeling like an outsider in society. The lines "We will escape this world, 'cause we're so tired and bored / And we are always so alone, so why should we return?" speak to the desire to break free from conformity and the mundane routines of life. The idea of burning bridges to ensure no one can follow us is further evidence of this desire to break free from ties to society.
