In the song he says "Leave my door open just a crack, cause I feel like such an insomniac".
Yes, he does have insomnia. He drops hints of it in the lyrics of some of his songs, such as Fireflies.
Adam Young has insomnia, which means he can't sleep. He's just writing about the dreams he has under that condition. That's why if you see the lyrics, there's little references of his insomnia.
He can sleep but not correctly he has a disease called insomnia. Insomnia is the inability to obtain an adequate amount or quality of sleep. The difficulty can be in falling asleep, remaining asleep, or both. People with insomnia do not feel refreshed when they wake up. Insomnia is a common symptom affecting millions of people that may be caused by many conditions, diseases, or circumstances. That is what he based his song "Fireflies" on...
F. W. Adams has written: 'Theological criticisms, or, Hint of the philosophy of man and nature'
Fireflies was released as a single in July of 2009, and came out in the album 'Ocean Eyes' that September.
Well, one day, Owl City, (Adam Young) went camping, and saw fireflies. So he decided ti write a song about it. In the song, notice he says "Cuz I feel like such an insomniac" because he suffers from insomnia. Anyways, your actual question, its about imagination, and I guess, sleeping.
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.
They have interviewed him about that, and he was on a camping trip, laying on the dock, a meteor shower was going on then, and he thought how cool it would be if the meteors were Fireflies, and to translate it into a song, he also thought about how much he DIDN'T sleep that night, and he translated it into "FireFlies," the 28th most popular downloaded song on iTunes EVER. Hope this helps!!
No, a firefly is not an arachnid, it is an insect. There is different kinds of fireflies, like Black fireflies, Eastern fireflies, Photuris species fireflies, etc.
"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.
Fireflies can be found all over the state of Montana. The fireflies can be found in forests and fields.
Fireflies main enemies are humans. Fireflies can not even be found in some states now do to the poisons used on crops killing them. Birds also eat fireflies.
