Chris Garneau is talking to a friend who is discovering that he's indeed not straight but in fact, gay. Chris is telling him that this experience of self-discovery isn't an easy one:
It's not easy, so take it slow.
You're coming up. You're coming round the bend.
You're my good friend. Best friend.
And you're coming up, you're coming round the bend
Whilst his friend is on this journey of self-discovery he begins to make friends with "fireflies." Now, I'm almost sure that the fireflies symbolize prostitutes: you can find them easily during the night hours but during the day hours they're not nearly as easy to find. Then, Chris debunks the honesty of the prostitutes. Chris seams a bit worried about his friend and wants him to elaborate on his actions:
You're making friends with the fireflies.
I can't say that that comes as a surprise.
But the things they say are not what they seem,
So you've been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you've been called to tell us what they mean.
Chris states that the whole plot is systematic and empirical. Chris seems to hint heavily at the fact that he may have have previously experimented with prostitutes--in the chorus he says that it doesn't come as a surprise.... Chris is giving advice to his friend because he knows where he faulted in the same sort of situation and doesn't want his friend to make those same faults. Again, he debunks their veracity by saying he's smarter then them after he quotes the prostitute:
It's a plot though, I told you so.
I'm wising up. I'm wising up to them.
They say, "My good friends. Best friends."
But I'm wising up. I'm wising up to them.
Same thing here, except, Chris acknowledges the fact that when the prostitutes are gone, the sexual lust and the addiction to sex and the addiction to prostitutes still resonates.
You're making friends with the fireflies.
You know when they die their light stays alive.
And the things they say are not what they seem,
So you've been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you've been called to tell us what they mean.
That's basically the song's meaning for me! I hope that many more of you can connect to this song and possibly to my rendition of the song's connotations.
I think the meaning of the song is much wider because it could be talking about anythig that may be deceitful, anything thay may shine in the dark. Not everything that glitters is gold and lies usualy hurt even after after they're revealed.
Making firends with fireflies is like playing with fire. But it wouldn't come as a surprise because, as I've said, their deceitful.

Hope I wrote the hole idea clearly, because my English is not good.
