Communications down
I float without
A light to lead me back
I'm lost again
They say silence is golden
Loneliness never shined like this
Diseased the leper sits
The leper is me
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Caught between the stars
A well lit drowning
Darkness mocks me with
A broken compass
So I swim in a sea
Of distress
Broken down, and helpless
The leper sits diseased
The leper is me
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Floating all alone
Floating all alone
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
I float without
A light to lead me back
I'm lost again
They say silence is golden
Loneliness never shined like this
Diseased the leper sits
The leper is me
The moon will lead me back to earth again
A well lit drowning
Darkness mocks me with
A broken compass
So I swim in a sea
Of distress
Broken down, and helpless
The leper sits diseased
The leper is me
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Floating all alone
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again

this song is apparently about being lost, (fallen away from friends/faith/love etc) and needing some "light" to guide you back. the 'fireflies' are the help he needs to help guide him back. thats my thoughts anyhow.
finches new sound is more of an aquired taste. The average attention-starved emo middle schooler probably won't like their new music, however people who enjoy good, hard rock with tight screams, hard riffs, and cryptic lyrics will LOVE this new cd. that's me at least =)
I agree man. A lot of people I know have been quick to dismiss this album. Their new sound is awesome. Love this song.
Gotta say i agree with u guys, their new sound is more mature and more their own, i think the new stuff rules
i love it how Fireflies illuminate your eyes it reminds me of summer and how it would make a great theme song for a reletionship during the summer.
I listen to this when I am having a bad week and you are just looking for that something to help you get up and stop feeling shitty. And this song is kind of like a firefly to me.
This song has a really epic feel to it, which I just love! It makes me imagine someone taking a secret journey under cover of night. And sometimes vampires. Or astronauts.
...None of those things fit together at all. XD
Anyway, I think this song is the kind that isn't really about anything in particular and focuses more on putting striking images into the listener's head. I like that it leaves it up to the listener to make associations. And I personally think the imagery in this song is spectacular.
