The lyrics suggest a fantastical scenario where ten million fireflies illuminate the world. This unrealistic event highlights the wonder and magic that can be experienced in our imagination and dreams. It emphasizes the idea of being surprised or amazed by something out of the ordinary.

Fireflies lyrics: You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Cause they'd fill the open air And leave tear drops everywhere You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare Chorus: 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 The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (Thread, thread, thread...) Chorus: 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...) Chorus: 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 my dreams are bursting at the seams.
the song is "Fireflies" by Owl City/Adam Young."You would not believe your eyesif ten million fireflieslit up the world as I fell asleep.'Cause they fill the open airand leave teardrops everywhere.You'd think me rude but Iwould just stand and stare.I'd like to make myself believethat planet Earth turns slowly.It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm sleep,'cause everything is never as it seems."...
Fireflies
it goes 'you would not believe your eyes, if ten millon fireflies, lit up the world as it 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 belive that planet earth turns slowly. it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake when im asleep cause everything is never as it seems.' that's the begging and refrain.
The 1988 anime film "Grave of the Fireflies" is set near the end of the Second World War in the Japanese city of Kobe .
Fireflies by Owl City
The songs are mostly about falling asleep, like "Fireflies" or having to do with getting away from the world. The titles mostly involve things with the sky, such as "Vanilla Twilight", "Rainbow Veins", and "To the Sky" Some are just made for expressing imagination, such as "Hello Seattle".
Fireflies live in various habitats. Many species thrive in forests, fields or the margins between them. Some live in more arid areas, but they typically follow the rainy season. Fireflies are found all over the world, from North and South America to Europe and Asia. http://www.firefly.org/firefly-habitat.html
Fireflies appear during June.
