Every minute, every second, every hour of the day i-Yi-Yi-Yi Every hour of the day i-Yi-Yi-Yi Every time that I'm away i-Yi-Yi Missing you, missing you
Every moment, that is stolen, it can never be replaced i-Yi-Yi-Yi Even if it's for a day i-Yi-Yi-Yi I'ma text you up to say i-Yi-Yi Missing you, missing you.
I've only ever seen lyrics that bad on Justin Bieber songs, and Cody Simpson is pretty much Australia's attempt at creating a clone of him.
Now maybe I'm missing some hidden meaning to this but I'm mostly convinced they're just dumb lyrics.
"And every time you hear the rolling thunder You turn and run before the lightning strikes And does it ever make you stop and wonder If all your good times pass you by"
Since when do you hear thunder before you see lightning?
"And every time you hear the rolling thunder You turn and run before the lightning strikes And does it ever make you stop and wonder If all your good times pass you by"

Those sound deep, but I cannot understand what they could mean beyond what it is obvious presented. And the obvious presentation is retarded, by the looks of it.

Since always. By far the most common scenario is that you hear thunder long before you see lightning, either because you don't have a direct line of sight or because you're simply not looking. I can't remember many times where I've actually seen the lightning before the thunder. If I'm outside and hear thunder, I'd probably turn and run (or walk away) before the thunderstorm is over me and I risk getting lightning in my face. But that's just me, maybe you have great eye sight.
love this thread, as a techno fan, i rarely listen to songs with any lyrics unless they are REALLY profound, funny or clever. I pretty much think words ruin most songs. Idk I guess I'm just weird.
Don't call dumb lyrics when you don't understand the lyrics in the first place. Fireflies is a deep song
lol no its not. its a shitty pop song that tries way to hard to be deep. it actually has very little depth. For example, the very first line:
"You would not believe your eyes if 10 million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep" No I guess I wouldnt believe my eyes. Cool. Let me try to make deep lyrics too! "You would not believe your ears if 10 million little deers serenaded the world as I woke up." derp
The rest of the song pretty much follows the same line of thought. That is, "Wouldnt it be cool if *insert random improbably occurrence*? That was be aweseom!!" There is no deeper meaning. Its obvious they made the lyrics purposely vague and without direction to get people to think "wow thats so deep!"
Then theres the chorus:
"I like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly. Its hard to say but Id rather stay awake when Im asleep, cuz everything is never as it seems"
What makes it hard to say that he wants to stay awake? Why would inconsistency in the world make him want to stay awake? Why would the earth turning slowly have any significance at all for him? Its just a load of flowery, pseudo-metaphorical bullshit that has no meaning in and of itself. Rather, its just more vague wording to incite random dreamy thoughts in the listener and to hopefully get people to think that this song is actually deep
But wait, maybe I just dont understand it right? Since you understand it so well, please enlighten me as to why the lyrics are a load of bullshit
I never really understood the "you" character that is only there in the beginning. So I can see the fireflies as he goes to sleep? How does that make him an insomniac? The "you" character disappear after that. Also, discoballs usually hang "just" by a thread.

That's pretty strong IMHO. Ofcourse you have to put in a bit of effort, much like with poetry. If you take everything literal like a manual transcript then it is completely incoherent.
As for dumb lyrics, this song never made sense to me.
First of all having sex on the beach is a really bad idea, sand everywhere. Second, the whole notion that you should make a song about wanting to have sex on the beach is baffling. Third, why does she sing 'come on theres a party' afterwards? Shouldn't you be looking for a private place if u want to have sex on the beach?
Now maybe I'm missing some hidden meaning to this but I'm mostly convinced they're just dumb lyrics.

Actually it's the case that you're supposed to see the lightning before you hear the thunder, because light travels faster than sound. And there's some sort of colloquial formula (I don't know how accurate it is) where you count the seconds after you see the lightning, until you hear the thunder, and it's supposed to correlate to how far away the central part of the storm is.
I kind of hate myself for even having to go onto the video to get the link.
You sir made me sad. This song is all about helping to restore the self-image of our girlfriends. It's nowhere near as bad as the level of the sad excuse for lyrics brought up by the majority of the previous posters.
Yeah, this song is actually fairly good, if heavily overplayed on the radio.
