{Chorus: Tom Parker}
As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies
Reminding me I can make my life shine it's not over over over
{Verse 1: Richard Rawson}
I started writing songs for a path to express my pain
Natural born performer I was put in to entertain
Standing on these stages singing songs from a tender age
Guess that's all I knew apart from waiting and playing the game
But all she did was just stress my brain
I was just looking forward to better days better days
Cause when you're stuck in this cycle I swear you never know
You keep on going round and round until you let it go
The only thing I wish for now is that they stay the same
I try to make it work in each and every way
But it's a shame when things fade
{Chorus: Tom Parker}
As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies
Reminding me I can make my life shine it's not over over over
{Verse 2: Richard Rawson}
It was all good just a year ago
Now I don't recognize myself in the mirror though
I am used to seeing 3 silhouettes in the video
Myself and I ima kill it though
I swear i'm just barely coping
I chill with my brother Lewis
I fell like i'm Leona
My heart keeps bleeding,keeps,keeps bleeding
Only get one life then the fireflies are leaving
So hello world can you people hear me calling?
Heres the motherfucking warning right
It's the motherfucking warning right
{Chorus: Tom Parker}
As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies
Reminding me I can make my life shine it's not over over over
Cause all I can see is fireflies
{Verse 3: Richard Rawson}
I require darkness in order to shine
I take the cold days out of this world
And make the warm nights by lighting the sky
My dad told me everything changes in time
I know he was right
It's the way of this life
That's why I try to stay away from losing my cool
Cause I swear my biggest fear is losing it all
{Chorus: Tom Parker}
As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies
He is talking about how he used to wish to become famous but he never thought he would become famous.
He used to be in a group called
N Dubz which consisted of Tulisa , Dappy , and Richard himself.
So he is saying he is not used to doing videos by himself,
plus this is his first solo album.
Fireflies shine in darkness so what Tom is saying is when he sees fireflies it reminds him he can overcome darkness.

Fireflies shine in darkness so what Tom is saying is when he sees fireflies it reminds him he can overcome darkness.

How the only thing he wishes for now is that he maintains his relevance.
This is Richards first solo album,
So he is warning other artist he is about to take over.
He used to have a girl friend but all they did was argue so he dumped her.
He has excepted he is solo now and he is going to kill it by himself
He does not recognize himself because he has changed so much.
Fireflies shine in darkness so what Tom is saying is when he sees fireflies it reminds him he can overcome darkness.

In a interview he said he works from 10 am to 10 pm in a studio.
Fireflies shine in darkness so what Tom is saying is when he sees fireflies it reminds him he can overcome darkness.

He feels performing is his calling like he was born to entertain people
His biggest fear is to lose his money and relevance.
He was close to overdosing,
and he is only just able to cope with life.
He started rapping as a hobby so he could express his pain on songs
He started in performing when he was 11 year old in N-dubz.

This is a clever metaphor because Fireflies shine in the dark so what Richard is saying
he goes through bad patches but overcomes them.
