Lyrics:
Tell me are you tired? Are you weary to the bones?
No amount of sleep will make you whole.
Tell me when you dream, are you fire are you ice?
Are you somewhere lost in time? Are you hungry?
Show me where it started,
Was it in another life?
Did you hear the sound of Heaven fall?
Are you here to make it right?
Call me when you need,
I’ll be with you when you fall,
I’ll be silent through it all,
Unless you need me.
You burn so bright,
You’re my circadian rhythm.
You burn so bright, Firefly.
Tell me where you’re running,
Can you even tell me why?
You’ll face another day, courageous firefly.
Stop thinking about words that come from others,
Falling from their mouths.
You burn so bright,
You’re my circadian rhythm.
You burn so bright, Firefly.
You burn so bright,
You burn so bright.
Tell me are you tired? Are you weary to the bones?
No amount of sleep will make you whole.

This deserves more coverage. The sound is great, lyrics are thought provoking, and the MV simply reminds me the era of Linkin Park's Point of Authority.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the incredible comments - it's genuinely overwhelming. Please do share it as much as you can 🥰

The video, visuals, music, lyrics. All of it was a beautiful, masterful work of art.
Pretty rare that i see actual art these days
That was an easy click of a button. Subscribed. Gives me modern A Perfect Circle vibes and I liked that.
Вперше слухаю ваш гурт....Дуже потужно!!!
the animations captivated me and the music is not bad. This is the type of songs that get stuck in your head despite it being a simple song.
You guys saved me during my darkest times, I thank you all ❤

I dont know How i end up here …. But thank god xdxdxd what a great song
The video is ripe for healthy and full-throated analysis, makes me wish I was a KZreadr myself just so I could break down what it means to me. Can’t wait to hear others’ interpretations of it tho ❤ Edit* And that includes the song itself, as the lyrics are just as heavy. Absolutely incredible work 🎉 I am rooting for her, and would love to see the continuation of her journey reflected in future songs. Y’all are onto something huge here ❤

Ikr? I'm still perplexed about her dress changing and why it changes to certain colors at certain times 🤔 I know it's representing his effect on her but I'm sure there is more to it. And the line "you're my circadian rhythm" has me intrigued. Could just be saying he thinks of her each morning when he wakes and each night when he falls asleep but feel there's more to that too. Also watching on repeat is interesting - she ends up where she began, so is the video meant to be a continuous loop where they just act this out over and over? And does that mean we won't get a sequel? (Still hope we do though) my love and I discovered this song and video together and are both obsessed singing it to each other constantly now 💖 it is truly something special 💖
Several minutes thinking and still dont know what is better, the music or the video 😅 Nice work Esoterica!!
Очень красиво!
Just saw a clip of this on tik tok so needed to watch and hear the full song.. just wow!! I absolutely love it the visuals the vocals , the instrumental parts ❤
Me gustaría que mucha gente conozca esta obra maestra
She founds the mushroom. She eats it and feels empowered. She take the Dark Road and goin trough Stuff. She find the Next on and her Face tellin "Oh God Yes!" She eats it and she feels good again. Her Dress is Changing because she feel better everytime and then there is the Last Mushroom charged by her Fears and the Stress trying to get it to feel good again. The Figure is her Brain thinking about herself and telling her how good she is doing in progressin but she runs from Death to Death and the last call from her Brain is yellin at her how much she was thinking wrong in doin good. I feel the Sadness in that last "You burn SO Bright!!" deep Song
First time hearing this, the band and everything. Ok, you have my attention. This was amazing.
The symbolism in this is crazy. Absolutely breathtaking work, I am an instant fan.
This is visually incredible, and such a beautiful sound. Reminds me of Tool with a touch of Deftones, but still unique in its own right. Absolutely brilliant!!!

underrated comment
In this track find we find someone who seeks courage to overcome the harshness of others and stop being on the run. They're being told by someone else, that they're infact amazing, that they are this persons light & circadian rythym and that they will be there when they need them. *Circadian rythym is the natural cycle of physical, mental, and behavior changes that the body goes through in a 24-hour cycle. The rythyms is mostly affected by light and darkness & are controlled by a small area in the middle of the brain.

This is a masterpiece. Musically & visually stunning. 👏🤟
Never did i think I would love a song more than "In Dreams" by you. This changed my mind. What an absolute masterpiece 👌

This is one of the best animations for music videos that I've seen. The technology has advanced so much since the MTV days. Thank you so much for keeping this music video tradition alive, and the story and visuals and of course MUSIC are all awe-inspiring and blissfully amazing.

Hell yeah you guys are backkk
I didn't know anything new came out until today. I actually have followed this group since the beginning and the progressive approach and melodic passionate lyrical intensity of the music is phenomenal. I remember silence awesome cover or better then original, Miranda and the tempest one of my favorites in dreams, and I won't give up. Now this one. I believe when the were eso I believe the song it rains was one of my favorites. I hope no matter what you don't change the progressive approach on your songs.
I was at the Birmingham gig 11/04/24 - it was amazing - best Esoterica gig I have ever been to (my 9th) and the rendition of Firefly was wonderful!
Why am I only now seeing this? I love the song and video. Immediately saved to playlist

You’ve come a long way from watching Tomorrow I won’t remembered for the first time on Scuzz.
Magical song, this video is perfect pitch for a videogame, where you need to get through all her (your) mental and other problems. Huge potential, would buy and play to help main character to reveal she's good enough. Your music is inspiring.
I'm absolutely shocked. I shared this masterpiece on my social networks. I didn’t even manage to really understand anything the first time. Then I watched it many times. I have an interpretation, it would be interesting to know if it is correct. The girl has three hearts on her neck - it’s like “three lives” in the game, three attempts. She wakes up (both literally and spiritually) in a red dress and dirty - she is a person of passions, ignorant. She begins her spiritual journey, awakened by a divine spark. Then, after initiation (by a "mushroom"), she is dressed in white and becomes clean (pure) - this is a person who has gone into the Light, a religious person. Then, after the next initiation, she is dressed in yellow and black - this is already a balanced person who has accepted her Darkness and nature. But she doesn’t get to the Source the first time, because she’s not ready yet. She is frightened by rage of the Source (in fact, it is not rage, but power) and hesitates, and therefore does not have time to jump. This is a fall due to lack of faith. She falls into a hole and dies. From there she is taken back to the surface, that is, to a new life. In which she again sleeps in a red dress, again dirty, and one “heart” on her neck “burns out.” She has two tries left. The only thing I don't understand is why she doesn't wake up to the firefly this time and it flies away. I'll be happy to hear an explanation for this. And it would be very cool to know if my interpretation is correct. Because this video hooked me very much.

I seriously cannot stop re-listening and re-watching this. Can’t wait to see the continuation of this! Everything about this is pure art. The song is a banger. The lyrics are authentically deep and meaningful. The video is mesmerizing. This is *peak storytelling.* This is an absolute masterpiece. I’m rooting for her! I’m actually rooting for them both, as he clearly has his own story of how he became to be this way. Omg I can’t wait for more. Words fail me when I try to describe what this makes me feel and the thoughts it stirs up inside of me. To say “well done”, could never suffice. This is magical. This is perspective altering. This leaves me wanting to know more. Much love to the band I can’t stay away from this ❤
Amaaaaaazing SO great wow

i went to your firefly tour in Bristol, and became aware of your band through Skarlett Riot who I am a recent fan of. I stood at the back next to the guy that you went to in the audience to sing next to.I am a CGI artist so I appreciate how much money you would have spent on the video - This video is really, really good. Your influences in music (including covers) are in line with mine, and I am so grateful for your charisma as a band. I especially want to thank you for the sign language that was used, that was a thoughtful inclusive touch.
44 and wow , music can have layers and yet the further we go in life just for me is how the past really shocks the core and yet when there's one ourselves and spirit can go to the light even if the darkness is all around call on the angels see how to use our own diecast of an old belief using all the right aspects with in my faith with all and love those who fellow in a good way like this now playing again this brought me back to my late teens and just seeing the world now wow a ride , but now learning how to enjoy the smaller things in life and go with the winds
Hi! I discover you today, and fall in love with your music. I hope see you anytime in Spain. Luv & Respect ❤
