When we were young we use to think this song was about weirdness & being content with it, as adults we realized that the words in this song makes us want to live a childhood forever.

Fireflies - Owl City You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep 'Cause they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread) I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep) Leave my door open just a crack Please take me away from here 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac Please take me away from here Why do I tire of counting sheep? Please take me away from here When I'm far too tired to fall asleep To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar) I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep) I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
This reminds me of the times when I didn't have to worry about going through college, getting a job, paying bills and other bs. I could wake up on weekends to sound of morning doves, ride my bike to friends houses, and spend the entire day with them. I didn't need to worry about homework or going to work. I miss my childhood 😔
The weird thing about time is that I simply never stops. Only goes forward. Never backwards. We may be able to remember things from the past but we will never be able to re-live them. Enjoy each and every moment from the present. Because the past is gone the future, where u are reading this is passing by every millisecond. And the present where I'm writing this, has already passed.
idk why but it just hits hard man i get this feeling that some of my long lost memories have been found and returned to show Everything i did years ago as a kid all this time this song is the only thing that can bring my memories back again
Remember a few years ago when we were jamming to this song not knowing the true meaning but now in our teen years this hits hard and you understand the deep meaning. Good ol days 😢
Brings back many old memories with my brother and dad playing call of duty on ps3, I remembered we used to stay up longer in the nights so we could game together. I really miss those times, and I hope one day when I’m gone I will remember them. Life was so much easier back then
I remember being in kindergarten and telling myself "I'll just be young forever. I will never grow old." Now I am a sophomore in highschool preparing for driver's training. Where did the time go?
I’m a father, and I think what memories I’m leaving my children with. I do my best to make them good. Lord knows I fall sometimes….it’s odd tho, I was once the child. The roles were different. My father who is long since passed thought about that. Now it’s my job, and one day it will be my kids job. Life is so short, and it’s meant to be lived.
I’ll make it my mission to invent time travel, to go back to the good times. Even if I could just enjoy being a kid for another day I’d embrace every minute of it. 🥺
Riding on the bus home this song came on and my buddy and I instantly loved it. Hope hes doing well in life been a min since we talked. Love to all my old friends.
I wish i would be in my childhood again.. i miss it.. so much.. my bestfriend.. who replaced me with his car.. my beautiful times with my sister, my cousin.. my birthday partys.. my problems, to go to school.. going outside with bicycle and drive just around with my musicbox and my friends.. playing with nerv guns.. making beybattles with neighbours.. grinding halo on xbox.. creating beautiful minecraft worlds with my ex best friend… i miss all this and it kills me cause i know it will never come back…
Funfact: the art of music saying he would rather be a wake all night and spend all of his time and be happy instead of sleeping and skipping because one day it will all end
Imma hop on the bandwagon and agree with these comments, this really does make me miss my childhood the days of growing up with the kids in the neighborhood, playing, throwing parties, not having a worry in the world because the world was mine to do with as I please but NOW it’s different because I have responsibilities All my friends are gone I’m the only one left here in this neighborhood with people i don’t even know I have a job and life isn’t full of the freedoms we had as children, oh how I wish I could go back once to just enjoy it even for a minute from playing outside to having sleep overs to playing Cod WaW with my friends and having the best time in any persons life.
In the parts of where it's saying please take me away from here reminds me of my best friend Samuel who died. He was a good kid. He committed suicide April 23rd 2020. He hated parts of his life but he had a blast when it was me and him. I moved from my home in 2020 in Nevada to new Jersey. I was in NJ when I heard of his passing. I couldn't attend the funeral. I miss you Sam

you are right🙂
That's why we slowed it down, because we grew up to fast.
This version of my favorite childhood song is so soothing that it makes me cry, I really like it.
Same here, nostalgia over load.

I wish they still made music like this again. Happy music.
I lost my dad on Nov 16th and this song just brought back all the good memories I've had with my dad... It's enough to make a grown man cry

It’s unusually magical
Fireflies - Owl City
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I’ve seen this quote before, but has he ever really said that?
4:00 bet you will start thinking of your live and feel nostalgic,sad when you hear this part
“When I’m far to Tired to fall asleep”
hits way different now
How I miss being the kid I used to be
Nostalgia is an amazing thing, I think back to all the great memories from old friends and video games we’d play…wish I could go back to those days
League of legends
