Owl City - Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cuz they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems

Cuz I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cuz I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far to tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cuz I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Kali ini santo gak pake video, soalnya videonya gak bisa diembed dari youtube sih, hehe.

Buat santo lagu ini nyeritain tentang proses transisi dari masa kecil ke dewasa, yah, di lagunya gak terlalu keliatan sih, paling cuma di kata-kata: "I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly". Kalo di videonya maksud dia lebih keliatan.

Proses adaptasi sama transisi dari masa kecil ke dewasa kerasa banget sama santo, waktu kelas 7 santo pernah sampe nangis-nangis cuma gara-gara nginget masa SD yang udah lewat. Rasanya santo pengen jadi anak kecil lagi, waktu dunia masih keliatan berwarna-warni, santo masih naif, dan gak banyak mikir tentang segala sesuatu. Padahal perasaan kemaren santo masih baru masuk SD, eh, sekarang udah kelas 9. Banyak hal yang pengen santo ulang dan perbaiki, tapi santo tau itu mustahil. Jadi untuk sekarang santo cuma berusaha move on, ngelupain itu semua, karena gak ada satu hal pun yang udah kita lakuin bisa diredo (kecuali kalo nulis di microsoft word), jadi yang terbaik yang santo bisa lakuin cuma memperbaiki semua kesalahan yang pernah santo lakuin, dan berusaha belajar biar hal itu gak terulang lagi.
