This isn't a song about insomnia. Quite the opposite. The songs meaning is about lucid dreaming or astral projection which is one in the same. For those that have never experienced it, it is absolutely wonderful. The song translates to exactly to what one experiences. You see lights everywhere and yes they look like fireflies. The verse "It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep" Means that because the experience is so wonderful you want to be in that state all the time and stay asleep. I know this all sounds like BS, I would have said it a year ago myself. I'm a 41 yo construction worker that just recently started lucid dreaming, and it's changed my whole outlook on life. listen or read the song again, and look at it from a perspective of someone that just saw and experienced something great, loving and wholesome for the first time. Check out patch parables and expand your minds.
@SGITU Indeed it is to me as well. astral projection "Please take me away from here" and "When i am too tired to fall asleep" and when in astral projection dreaming, "staying awake when im asleep cause everything isnt want it seems." usually in astral dreaming, i would always fly around and i see the "earth turns slowly" from outer space. And this song ended with "cause my dreams are bursting at the seas" reason being when you astral dream, i find myself flying touching the sea while going godspeed. So i do believe this song is explaining the...

@SGITU yea I see what you mean, but then how do you explain the 'cause everything is never as it seems' line? I think there's more to it than a song about lucid dreaming. I think there's also this idea that while you sleep, there might be incredible things happening around you. I think the imagery of many fireflies doing their thing while you sleep might have some metaphorical meaning - perhaps that there are complexities in the world that we don't know. We can only imagine, or dream about them.
