    Decided to search this up in 2022. Immediate chills and nostalgia hearing the opening chords. What a different time.

    I haven't watched this video for five years, and it still gets stuck in my head every time Fireflies plays on the radio.
    Also, this video is older than half the children watching youtube right now.

    The first time I went to IKEA(like a month ago), I totally loved everything I saw! All the cool little rooms, weird furniture, and everything. About an hour into it, I started feeling like I was stuck in the Labyrinth, and David Bowie was gonna show up and threaten to kidnap my baby brother. Three hours into it, I decided to just give up and let myself die in the depths of the eternal hell that is IKEA home furnishings.
    My mother later found me and dragged me out. Good times.

    Dave Days - Ikea (parody of Fireflies by Owl City)
    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    You would not believe your eyes
    If ten million home supplies
    Appeared and taught me how to live
    I test out every bed
    (Look!) I'm on a movie set
    You'd think me straight, I just can't help but frolic
    [Chorus 1]
    I like to make myself believe
    That I could die here happy
    Everything I'd ever need is right in front of me
    I think there's something wrong with this TV
    Naptime
    [Verse 2]
    I take a thousand steps
    When do these arrows end?
    Either deja vu or I've been here before
    These employees are jerks
    These arrows don't freakin' work
    Because if they did, I wouldn't be asking you-
    "How do I get out of here?"
    [Chorus 2]
    I like to make myself believe
    These magic arrows help me
    With every step, I'm lost again
    My legs can't walk no more
    I don't think they have an exit door
    How is this a lamp?!
    [Chorus 3]
    I find it kind of hard to believe
    That there's a food court
    Right next to me
    If I never left, how did I get here?
    I think I saw this in the Twilight Zone once
    Nobody inside made it out
    What are you looking at?
    [Bridge]
    My points of latitude and longitude are 30n 100w (30 north, 100 west)
    I'll be on the couch that's on your left
    [Outro]
    I like to make myself believe
    That somebody will save me...
