my goodness something just occurred to me about this song! i never got the part about the fireflies, i thought it was a beautiful image but rather random.... but now i get it..... it does all relate to being caught. the fireflies remind her of her lover because he, like them, is trapped, an just flying around one small room. it's about them being caught in love, being caught in a place they don't like, being caught by their habits...
