    I say this with as much admiration and appreciation as I can muster: this song makes me feel like I'm having a brain aneurysm.

    that first chorus hit is NASTY. manages to go almost harder than in the original Closer. idk how he did it

      it's because this uses a rip from guitar hero, not the original Closer. which is why the guitar sounds different

      I think it's less of an improvement and more of a movement towards a different genre that fits more with one's taste. Either way, I adore both.

    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 (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
    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
    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
    Because mouth dreams are bursting at the seams

      @@kiernanhowell-mackinley1733 Same. I was kinda grooving from 0:42 thru 1:04, but the rest was like eating a mozzarella stick dunked in chocolate sauce. Two perfectly fine individual parts that ought to be kept separate. Might've worked if Neil added more dampening effects to Adam's voice or a deep synth pad playing Fireflies' chords to blend the vocals better with the gothic industrial percussion.
