Is fireflies by owl city a poetic song?

Answer 1

There seem to be multiple interpretations of this song, but personally, I think of it as a song about growing up. It speaks of that awkward stage where a person is no longer a child, but is not quite an adult. There is a great deal of nostalgia in the song. The lyrics speak of wanting to slow time down and not wanting to let go of the things that bind the singer to his childhood--shown in the keeping of fireflies in a jar. Yet there is hope in the future - in "dreams [that] are bursting at the seams."
