I think it’s about him missing his childhood, and not wanting to let go of it. That’s why the music video is full of toys. He is sort of disappointed that he grew up fast.

Insomnia. That place you go before you fall asleep.

Fireflies is about Adam living in his own world. Daydreaming and the world you see if you’re an insomniac. Its strange how different the world looks when everyone is asleep

It’s probably about dreaming or something along the lines of that. Since the lyrics only talk about fireflies showing up when he falls asleep, I’m guessing the fireflies represent dreams in some way.

It’s about a singer expressing his past and present experiences through his songs.
