Fun fact: the notebook she is breaking at the end is the same as the one she was putting the things she wanted to do at the start of the song, probably meaning that she still had a lot of things she wanted to do before dying but knowing she doesnt have enough time, she breaks down, breaking the notebook, You can also see the notebook wet (probably from her own tears) before she breaks it. Also, the fight scene with Stelle is probably Firefly trying to scare off Stelle because she knows that if they stay together Stelle will get hurt, her fighting back meaning she doesnt care about getting hurt, she wants to continue being with her (This are all my assumptions but i like being able to say they make sense).
I've analyzed this.(I got bored) First up, Visuals: Stelle and Firefly are classmates(obviously). Firefly is sick(like in canon with Entropy loss syndrome) evidenced at 1:48-2:07. At 1:48 we see March and Dan Heng in a hallway which at first glance(at least for me) seemed like the school they (assumedly) all attend. However in the next frame/scene(1:52). We see Stelle holding onto Firefly who is hooked up to what to be an IV drip. At 1:58 we get a close up look at the IV drip. Throughout the video we see Firefly crossing out a list, and photos. I can assume that Firefly is trying to make the most of what's left of her life. Now at 2:35 theres a black hole and at 2:42 and 2:43 something happening. We can see that they're fighting(idk if each other) BUT obviously they aren't actually beating each other. This is a world where they are fighting after all. So this probably symbolises something. At 2:46 we see the black hole again and both Stelle and Firefly are there. Firefly is curled up and Stelle is standing and (i assume) approachs her and reach out for her at 2:51. I believe that this is representing Firefly closing herself off and Stelle "fighting" to get back to her/reach her(that's just my thoughts and pure speculation though). 3:01 something is happening. Firefly is trying to write something in her notebook, but can't. Whether this is because she is gettin weak from being sick, a mental breakdown, or something else. 3:11 It's probably a breakdown or something else, I think Firefly is struggling with the fact she is probably going to die(will get into that later). Smaller Visual details will be after lyric discussion. Second part: Lyrics( I have 1 and a half page google doc with lyrics now) First of all obivously "Let me stay a while, Stop the world from moving on" is about Firefly wanting to live in the moment and just live the moment for a while, and ignore the future. at 0:29 "With everyone right by my side, everywall is broken down, And I might be alright" I think this is refering to Firefly feeling like she might be alright with everyone around her. 0:44 "Maybe one day I will find, an escape from the weight on my mind." I think the weight is her sickness. 1:46 This is the hospital part. "With everyone right by my side, I forget the fear and doubt, And I might be alright, Even though time is running out" Even though time is running out. I think this is hinting at Firefly dying from her sickness, due to well "time's running out" and she's in a hospital. 1:59 "Here maybe one day I will find, An escape from the fate I'm assigned" The fates she's assigned. Another lyric that is probably hinting at her dying(im sorry). 3:07 "And I'll cherish all the memories before they're going going gone" I've yet to talk about any of the chorus s but that was because I don't think any important enough for me type it out.(I'm on mobile rn) but this one. "cherish the memories before they're going going gone." seems like either she's going to lose her memories or die, and the first one doesn't make sense in the slightest, so another hint of her dying.(IM SORRY). 3:28 "I know I'll dream about this memory until I'm going going -" It says "until I'M going going -" Firefly most likely died, or is "gone" just like how the gone is gone. The song cuts off before the gone can happen after all. It cuts to a black screen quite abruptly. I'm infering that Firefly died suddenly/abruptly. Part 3: Smaller visual details. Starting off nice 0:34 Firefly's nails are painted. Also the lyrics on screen look like it's written in a notebook. 1:02 First look at the bucket list, (you can see bucket list in the top left corner) Firefly rode a bike for the first time. 1:02 some more small things. 1:13 connecting to Firefly riding a bike, Stelle and Firefly are riding a bike together here. 1:22 Stelle(?) is on the locker. 2:18 More small things on Firefly's bucket list(GUNDAMS(I assume that's what the model kit is))(why did she want to puke???)(for the fun(?) of it ig anw moving on) 2:22 Stelle's bat is spiked/nailed(just wanted to point it out). 3:01 You can see Firefly's tears on the bottom left corner of the notebook. 3:03 it gets bigger. 3:03 crossed out text 3:05 "I desperatly wished these days would never end" 3:11 you can see her tears on her hands(or sweat. probably tears). 3:12 "i want to live" 3:28 This is hard to see on mobile, but for a few frames Firefly is in the photograph and it's black and white, and then she dissapears and it turns colorful. 3:29 WIAT WAIT IS THAT A GRAVE NO RIGHT?? RIGHT??? ... 3:29 "Grow old with the one i love" ... in red.(Realized it's hard to see. It's 1 frame, right after the photograph) I put way too much time into this(it was worth it) I'm also sad now
oh yeah also in that bit where stelle and firefly are sweeping firefly is noticably sweeping much less and covering less of the floor than stelle, probably showing how bad her sickness is since only a moment after they're in the hospital scene
@@Sam_Hue just a tiny bit too much… oops stelle got possessed by the stellaron and firefly had to steal her bat and whack her on the head before almost throwing her off the school building! good thing she caught her!
what's so crazy about it? it's not like we didn't know about firefly before her banner. my guess is that Will had the song done already and was waiting for her banner to go live to post it.
I think the song ending as abruptly as it did also fits with how one day Firefly's life will do the same (if she doesn't beat the entropy loss). Pretty neat detail
My girlfriend died a few days ago. I first heard this song when it premiered and I immediately knew "wow this is a sad song" but revisiting it, I feel like stabbing myself. She died of a rare ataxia disease which put her through a lot of pain, being unable to do basic tasks. The worst part is, I had to move across the globe for school while she just got hospitalized. With every single sentence I feel like I'm revisiting memories of her in our final moments and after the song finished I cried for so fucking long. Anyways, great job on the amazing song - I would have loved to play it w my gf
*me, four minutes ago, seeing this in my notifications, unaware that this will be all that i think about for the rest of the day* "Oh cool, Firefly song just dropped"
SOBBING SOBBING BROKEN NOISES,,, STELLEFLY IRGIAGOAHS,,, firefly she wants to live :((((( “you’d take a photograph and I’d take your breath away” WAHRGJA the ending also ugh that took MY breath away
@@Anlous-i1kFirefly has a bucket list of things she wants to do with Stelle and her friends, but she is diagnosed with a terminal illness. As time goes on, she ends up adjusting her bucket list herself, scribbling out things she knows she won’t be able to accomplish because her time is running out. In the end, it is implied she succumbs to her disease, leaving her final bucket list goal, “I want to grow old with the one I love,” unfinished, that person being Stelle, who is seen first upset over the diagnosis in contrast with Firefly’s calm smile, and is later seen sadly looking up at the stars.
@@Anlous-i1k In the original game (Honkai Star Rail) Firefly is affected by a diseased called etrophy loss syndrome (the longer time goes on, the less she is able to move) and has no way to cure it. This video takes this same concept and her burning desire to live, but instead in a modern alternate universe and timeline.
@@Anlous-i1k firefly in honkai star rail has a disease known as entropy loss syndrome. basically, she was born with something that will slowly debilitate her more and more, until her body eventually just stops working. this video takes that idea into a modern AU, and it's all about her making the most of her life before she eventually succumbs to her disease by crossing as many things off her bucket list.
@@Anlous-i1kThere’s a character named Firefly who has a disease that basically makes her body slowly stop working until she fades away. Because of this, she stays in a flaming suit of armour which helps to keep her alive. Firefly wishes that she could live normally, without the armour, which is what the song is about.
I thought I couldn’t be more devastated about Firefly but MAN did you ever prove me wrong. This is stunningly beautiful, the vocals are as always top notch; the writing, are and instrumentals and the way it cuts out at the end have me shaken. Thank you so much, I know I’ll be coming back to watch and listen to this many more times
Will, Will, Will. Where do I even begin? I don't want to waste your time with an essay of a post, so I'll just say this. You've gotta be psychic man. This song is EXACTLY how I felt last night and how I feel now. This is incredible timing, and the song itself is incredible of course. Much love, have a good one 👋
The lyrics look super good!! Can't wait to hear it tomorrow!! Edit: OMG THATS SO GOOD IM LITERALLY CRYING, IT WAS SO SAD BUT THE SINGING AND EVERYTHING WAS AMAZINGGGG!! 1000/10!!
I thought this was going to be cute. Instead, my heart got torn out of my chest.... I'm going to go lie down for the next decade. Wake me up when Firefly is better.
HOW? How are you this good?? I love Firefly, and I’ve been obsessed with Penacony’s story lately (Aventurine my beloved gambler)! The ending was just a jab at the heart, the abrupt cutoff took my breath away. The sound of wind and crickets chirping is a really nice touch- it paints a picture of a summer night, where fireflies come out. Also the “I want to live” really hurts, thanks, Will. 😔 The animation is gorgeous, I wasn’t expecting this to play out as an entire story of its own, but it just makes this more of a masterpiece. Firefly crossing things off her bucket list, wanting to make the most of every moment in the mundane human life. It’s exactly what Firefly wanted. To escape the Entropy, to spend her time making memories as a human instead of a weapon. Knowing the end is near, but holding on to every light that’s left. Wonderful work as always- absolutely breathtaking. Hope everyone here has a great day, hopefully you all have tissues prepared before watching this! it will sees this ily
how DARE you make a masterpiece of a song that not only makes me cry because hsr BUT ALSO BECAUSE the song itself is the LITERAL PLOT of The summer you were there AAAAAAAA
Firefly to us will always be the best girlfriend ever, the fact that Stetson composed a song just for her makes me feel better than ever 🔥 Thanks for this!
Just cried over Firefly after doing Penacony's questing, this came JUST in time. Thank you Will Stetson!! I can always count on you to make me cry over the silly HoYoverse characters :]
I can’t with this I’m sobbing… I love Firefly so much cause of what she represents as someone who also has a chronic disease and the song implying that it got the better of her is so sad and I just can’t oml Anyways thank you Will Stetson for writing absolutely beautiful lyrics as always I’m gonna go explode now
After I've listened to it once I've never opened this song for like a month cause i cant handle the feeling and just started to play this again a month later and I'm glad i did 😊
SAME but only this mv for me. been listening non stop on spotify but i just got myself to rewatching it on here because that mv hit too close to home i was so terribly devastated at first.
I found this after Analesa themselves (EN FF VA) mentioned a fansong they listened to today in a stream - this is so good! Was only half paying attention to what was going on until March and DH appeared in the hallway and then when it cut into the room it all clicked for me and hit way harder. Insane job!
2:18 what I'm able to read from Firefly's bucket list Build a model kit Eat a hot dog Build a (bedframe? idk its hard to read for me) without help Go to a (farmers?) market Eat super spicy noodles Picnic Karaoke! Visit Kyoto!!! Stop over at a friends place (Photo?) at an amusement park Play with fireworks at the beach This song is soooo good it HURTS so good in the feels
Im not lying, its 2am rn, and at 12am i played this song FOR A WHOLE 2 HOURS and sang at the top of my lungs, with the music at full blast. And nobody woke up. Im honestly surprised how im not deaf (but my throught hurts now soooo 😅)
I cried so hard to this. I love all your songs so much and you've really outdone yourself with this one. This song is so criminally underrated. Thank you for making this
3:12 "I want to live" Why must you hurt us this way? A lovely, bittersweet song, but wow. A song hasnt made me cry in a long time. This one hits hard though.😢😢
@@Yuyu-person its actually bright moonlight but it really sounds like primal light which is what everyone thought it was before the official lyric release
Love how Firefly was writing the lyrics and adding the photos to her diary 😭🫶. and add the end she can't write any more to the sadness and mourning she has for her friend

I've analyzed this.(I got bored)
First up, Visuals: Stelle and Firefly are classmates(obviously).
Firefly is sick(like in canon with Entropy loss syndrome) evidenced at 1:48-2:07.
At 1:48 we see March and Dan Heng in a hallway which at first glance(at least for me) seemed like the school they (assumedly) all attend. However in the next frame/scene(1:52). We see Stelle holding onto Firefly who is hooked up to what to be an IV drip. At 1:58 we get a close up look at the IV drip. Throughout the video we see Firefly crossing out a list, and photos. I can assume that Firefly is trying to make the most of what's left of her life. Now at 2:35 theres a black hole and at 2:42 and 2:43 something happening. We can see that they're fighting(idk if each other) BUT obviously they aren't actually beating each other. This is a world where they are fighting after all. So this probably symbolises something. At 2:46 we see the black hole again and both Stelle and Firefly are there. Firefly is curled up and Stelle is standing and (i assume) approachs her and reach out for her at 2:51. I believe that this is representing Firefly closing herself off and Stelle "fighting" to get back to her/reach her(that's just my thoughts and pure speculation though). 3:01 something is happening. Firefly is trying to write something in her notebook, but can't. Whether this is because she is gettin weak from being sick, a mental breakdown, or something else. 3:11 It's probably a breakdown or something else, I think Firefly is struggling with the fact she is probably going to die(will get into that later).
Smaller Visual details will be after lyric discussion.
Second part: Lyrics( I have 1 and a half page google doc with lyrics now)
First of all obivously "Let me stay a while, Stop the world from moving on" is about Firefly wanting to live in the moment and just live the moment for a while, and ignore the future.
at 0:29 "With everyone right by my side, everywall is broken down, And I might be alright" I think this is refering to Firefly feeling like she might be alright with everyone around her. 0:44 "Maybe one day I will find, an escape from the weight on my mind."

I AM BUT A FIREFLY AND WILL STETSON THE FLAME
(but he's about to be put out with my tears bro I'm SOBBING)
The beauty of this song make a flow of emotions coming out from eye
Please firefly never stop shining in the dark, I need my light in my dreams
how DARE you make a masterpiece of a song that not only makes me cry because hsr
BUT ALSO BECAUSE
the song itself is the LITERAL PLOT of The summer you were there
AAAAAAAA
Firefly to us will always be the best girlfriend ever, the fact that Stetson composed a song just for her makes me feel better than ever 🔥
Thanks for this!
i just realized the title is a baseball reference because of trailblazer. i love tragic yuri oh my GOD
Just cried over Firefly after doing Penacony's questing, this came JUST in time.
Thank you Will Stetson!! I can always count on you to make me cry over the silly HoYoverse characters :]
I can’t with this I’m sobbing…
I love Firefly so much cause of what she represents as someone who also has a chronic disease and the song implying that it got the better of her is so sad and I just can’t oml
Anyways thank you Will Stetson for writing absolutely beautiful lyrics as always I’m gonna go explode now
this is the best will stetson song of all time
the song of all time
god I love Stellefly
yo low-key this could be a intro to an anime or series like its so good
After I've listened to it once I've never opened this song for like a month cause i cant handle the feeling and just started to play this again a month later and I'm glad i did 😊
SAME but only this mv for me. been listening non stop on spotify but i just got myself to rewatching it on here because that mv hit too close to home i was so terribly devastated at first.
I found this after Analesa themselves (EN FF VA) mentioned a fansong they listened to today in a stream - this is so good! Was only half paying attention to what was going on until March and DH appeared in the hallway and then when it cut into the room it all clicked for me and hit way harder. Insane job!
HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER HEARD WILL STETSON I LOVE YOU
Just finished p3 reload and, FOR SOME F REASON, decided to hear this song. Thank you for making me feel what it feels like to cry without tears Will.
Oh my god the ending being "going, going" and not saying the gone is so gooodddddd 😭💕
1:33 THAT SCENE BRO💀
2:18 what I'm able to read from Firefly's bucket list
Build a model kit
Eat a hot dog
Build a (bedframe? idk its hard to read for me) without help
Go to a (farmers?) market
Eat super spicy noodles
Picnic
Karaoke!
Visit Kyoto!!!
Stop over at a friends place
(Photo?) at an amusement park
Play with fireworks at the beach
This song is soooo good it HURTS so good in the feels
Yep, it's bedframe! and Farmers is correct.
Though, the photo is actually "puke," as implied by the doodle next to it :]
The fact that she got to cross all of that but not the one that was shown for one frame at the end is making me sad
@@sqytho9275Fuck......
I think the crossed part starting with B is Buldak so it’d be
“Eat super spicy Buldak noodles”
GALACTIC BASEBALLER 🔥🔥🔥🔥2:41
WILL STETSON WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME???? YOURE THE SUPERVILLAIN HERE.
What a beautiful song for my favorite rogue military asset
welp I guess it's time to memorize another Will Stetson song and loop it every day
we are setting the seas ablaze with this one 🔥🔥
I LOVE FIREFLY
I LOVE FIREFLY
This song has successfully inspired me to play starrail once I've saved up some primos..
That was AMAZING! Thanks for the song! I am gonna be playing it on repeat everywhere I go now.
This gonna be pure🔥🔥
that hollow feeling as it end...... haunting..... PERFECT!
Im not lying, its 2am rn, and at 12am i played this song FOR A WHOLE 2 HOURS and sang at the top of my lungs, with the music at full blast. And nobody woke up. Im honestly surprised how im not deaf (but my throught hurts now soooo 😅)
Listening to this before Gone Angels is certainly an experience.
Tears running down my legs.
Aer you pissjn☹️☹️
@@WeirdoLilacHELP
I can't stop my heart from breaking because of firefly... Thank you Will for this song. Now I'm going to cry in the corner.
0:01 this part broke me
😢😂
I cried so hard to this. I love all your songs so much and you've really outdone yourself with this one. This song is so criminally underrated. Thank you for making this
I... Crying...
I'M SOBBING. (And making animations in my head to this.) THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VIDEO.
3:12 "I want to live"
Why must you hurt us this way?
A lovely, bittersweet song, but wow. A song hasnt made me cry in a long time. This one hits hard though.😢😢
ITS JUST SO PEAK...... IM NOT CRYING IM COSPLAYING A WATERFALL 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
“grandfather, i found your old youtube account, i didn’t know you liked japan” is my guess on what his grand children will say,
??? honkai star rail is chinese
@@chesspiece4257 sorry for the late response, but I assume that the grand kids will assume it is Japanese
Amazing! Love it! Can't stop hearing it.
This is a reason why "protect smiles" is must!
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
bangerr (i love this song sm)
LET MY HEART BRAVELY SPREAD THE WINGSS
SOARING PAST THE NIGHT
TO TRACE THE PRIMAL NIGHT
@@Yuyu-person its actually bright moonlight but it really sounds like primal light which is what everyone thought it was before the official lyric release
LET THE CLOUD HEALS OUT THE STINGS
I can't stop crying. Will that was beautiful, thanks for making this for us
The band aid on Stelle's cheek made me think that it is Silver Wolf lol
The Endless Now looking real appealing rn
incredible
SO GOOD
this deserves to be an official MV
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
At first I thought this would be a cute video, never thought I'd be crying at the end 😭
will can u please go on tour 😭😭😭
Omg fr I NEED a tour 😭😭🙏
the art's beautiful. its heart wrenching and yet... and yet...
YURI
3 months later I'm still sobbing
Will's Zesty arc is over, apparently.
NO JOKE I HAD A DREAM OF WILL MAKING THIS MELODY AND I WAS SO FLABBERGASTED WHATATA
youre paying for my fucking therapy
HoYo fans are blessed to have you produce songs
Love how Firefly was writing the lyrics and adding the photos to her diary 😭🫶.
and add the end she can't write any more to the sadness and mourning she has for her friend
I'm not sure "friend" quite fits, "Grow old with the one I love."
Look ik its common to ride bicycles together like this but hear me out is this a reference to Adachi and Shimamura??? 1:12
