The Owl City single 'Fireflies' went platinum 4 times. I hope this helps.
"Fireflies" by Owl City talks about "ten million fireflies," but also mentions "ten thousand lightning bugs. If you mean how many times the word "fireflies" is said in the song, it is said twice.

There are many different songs entitled Firefly, but if you meant 'Fireflies' the artist is Owl City.
If you are refering to why Adam Young of Owl City has multiple explanations for the title of "Fireflies", it is simply because the song was inspired by many different things. I hope this helps.
No, but he does the backing vocals to many of them, such as in Fireflies and The Tip of the Iceberg.
An official acapella track was never released, however, there are many acapella covers on YouTube if that is what you meant.
There is not a particular amount of metaphors in 'Fireflies' because the song itself can be interpreted as a single metaphor.

The song itself is not Christian lyrical, meaning it does not have outwardly Christian lyrics, but Adam Young, the writer and singer of the song (AKA, Owl City) has proclaimed to be a strong Christian many times since becoming an overnight phenomenon.

Many parodies have been made of Fireflies, but the most popular one (set in Ikea) was by Dave Days.
