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.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the incredible comments - it's genuinely overwhelming. Please do share it as much as you can 🥰
Going through a crippling breakup and you guys help lots! Thanks thanks for all you do.
So well deserved all of you. The hard work is paying off. Many congratulations fantastic people.
Songs awesome, but the visuals are insane too, really good job from the 3d folks involved - crazy production value!
Brilliant
We're flying over to Birmingham from northern Ireland to the gig next month, can't wait.
"You burn so bright,
You’re my circadian rhythm.
You burn so bright, Firefly." 🕯🖤
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.
You guys saved me during my darkest times, I thank you all ❤
Same here ❤
This is literally the highest compliment - we are with you ❤
@@esotericaband I listen to your music daily x
Thank you for saving me once more. Thank you for being my lighthouse and my firefly 🖤

Pretty rare that i see actual art these days
Iam totally in love with the song and video, esoterica knows how to enter our hearts with music like this. We will forever be honoured to be part of their journey.
😍
Just happened upon this great song by the end the meaning was clear very well done.
I just have to reiterate what an absolute treat this song is, in a variety of contexts.
Several minutes thinking and still dont know what is better, the music or the video 😅 Nice work Esoterica!!
Hermosa y la canción también..
ABSOLUTLY PERFEKT !
Never did i think I would love a song more than "In Dreams" by you. This changed my mind. What an absolute masterpiece 👌
Thanks 😊 the new albums a monster but then I would make music I love 😂
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!!!
Wow! What a compliment. Luis Andrade made some incredible visuals
I’m getting Breaking Benjamin vibes as well 👌🏻
Esta canción es una obra maestra es un himno para mi que me va identificar
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
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!
That was an easy click of a button.
Subscribed.
Gives me modern A Perfect Circle vibes and I liked that.
Absolutely amazing. Fantastic work
@@ВераМясина thank you so much 🙏
This song is my favorite of the.year at present. Fantastic work on multiple fronts. Tool/APC/Deftones amalgam + something subtlety unique vibe.
Música que se puede sentir en el alma....❤❤❤❤❤
Greetings from México, keep doing great music, I just know your band and You are awsome!!!
I want more.... This song; the video; the journey this girl is on..... The singer seems to want her to succeed, and I do to! The lyrics and animation really pulled me in... I am so happy I found Esoterica! Thank you for the wonder you have brought to my mind and soul!
❤❤❤❤❤
Drží ma pri živote, ešte som také nevidela, ďakujem, ste uzasni
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.
Верна
Really love your interpretation, I don't know if it is right or wrong, It's what you want to believe 🙂. You're one of the few who noticed she doesn't wake up at the end. 👍
Woooooooooooow!
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.
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.
It was in my recommendations and i whimsically opened it and now I'm in love. Its amazing, the song, the visuals I want to engrave it into my brain and my soul. It's so magical ❤
Saludos desde Argentina su musica es genial me encanta
Chills everytime I watch/listen to this. It's amazing. There's something so powerful and profound here. Amazing job.
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.
The video, visuals, music, lyrics. All of it was a beautiful, masterful work of art.
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.
🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful movie right there!
Вперше слухаю ваш гурт....Дуже потужно!!!
Found this song through tik tok. GLad i did. Im hooked now!
Happy days! Welcome ❤️
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.
Love how different this sounds, yet still unapologetically Esoterica. Another top tier song!
Yeah, we think we found our sound
Очень красиво!
I dont know How i end up here …. But thank god xdxdxd what a great song
Came over here from Tauri's stream, you folks are awesome - gonna get to work on spreading the word on this end! Word is, you folks are independent, right? 👀🤔
Hey Matthew, WELCOME! That's great to hear and big thanks to Tauri 🙂 Yes indeed sir, we are independent. So great to have you with us 🙏
@@esotericaband that’s awesome - I have big respect and a total soft-spot for independent bands. My favourite band is, it’s super inspiring! ✨ Thanks for creating such great music!!
OK people, this evening, 8pm... Esoterica is coming to town! ESOTERICA!!!!!!
Thank you for being awesome
The video is ripe for healthy and full-throated analysis, makes me wish I was a TH-camr 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 💖
One of the better songs in the past some-odd years. Bravo! Deep, heady, as well as exquisite arrangement and conceptual progression.
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.
Damn this song is fire.
I love this sound so much! Great job. Keep it up guys.
I'll never be afraid ...
🤍🧡🖤🤎💛💙💚🖤🧡💚❤️
Why am I only now seeing this? I love the song and video. Immediately saved to playlist

Amazing!! Greetings from Mexico 🤗
Cant wait to hear this live in a few weeks. Anyone watching this should consider seeing them live. Gigs are in a few weeks. 😊😊
We can't wait! Just between you and me, we're going to play TWO new songs live... (don't tell anyone)
Beautiful, mystical, brilliant work of art! N
I cannot stop watching the video or listening to the song - one of your best ever (this from someone who loves all the albums, but especially The Riddle!)
Its okay willow they are giong to love this one
So beautiful...
Is there a new album to go with this? I just discovered this band less than 24 hours ago and I binged their entire discography while I was at work today and I am absolutely in awe. I need more.
This is the first single from our upcoming album 😊 thank you for your kind words ❤️
*Great music, great video.* Saludos desde el PERÚ 🇵🇪
Best band ever 🖤
Best comment ever ❤
Esoterica, you are absolutely unique band. Your music is a treasure. Love you so much! Greetings from Ukraine!
Wow, thank you! Sending love to Ukraine ❤️
Everything about this is amazing! I can't believe they stopped recommending it.
Insane
Excellent creation
WOW - great video in every way.
Wow! This is brilliant! I watched this 5 times in a row. 💛💛💛
Wow... this is beautiful ❤
❤️
You’ve come a long way from watching Tomorrow I won’t remembered for the first time on Scuzz.
Je ne sais quoi!! Magic mushrooms, flight, transformation, resurrection - a musical and sensory masterpiece. Straight in2 my “Listen” series and of course a tap on the Subscribe button!
This song is amazing. Gives me GOOSEBUMPS. MAJOR Chevelle/Deftones vibes
wow! How can this not band not have more subs? the quality is insane!
Love the fact algorithm brought me here !! Awesome music and vid
Smashed it guys. Closing on 50k views already.
It’s mad isn’t it? People just keep sharing it. No label, just people power.
"Arise, ye Tarnished! The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all."
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 ❤
It's like watching a video game without a dozen paywalls. Love it.❤
This is so beautiful and your voice just hauntingly beautiful wow
love from india...you did really a great job... this deserves a million views👏❤🩹💥
I'm literally in awe of you guys the more i watch it the more it speaks to me in many ways ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you so much 😍
I totally get why it's been a while since A Perfect Circle made new music, because this band is actually better at making a-perfect-circle-music than A Perfect Circle themselves.
Can’t even comprehend such a compliment
@@esotericaband I have no idea if a band even likes to hear a compliment like this to be honest, but in my opinion it's true! And it's not just because of the vocals
Honestly it's hard sometimes to know how to respond to such a profound statement. How did you find us? 🙏❤@@DancesWithDevils
@@esotericaband It must've been during one of my daily searches for new music, and I believe it was about 3 years ago when I discovered you guys and first heard In Dreams
This is the best ive Heard and saw in years ❤️❤️❤️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
omg what a insane video and the song wow I am so happy to found this masterpiece
It’s an absolute honour to have been a fan since the start of EsOterica (almost). Seeing the progression and development of your music, you’ve never let us down. Absolutely incredible!
Also this music video would make an awesome game!
OG. We appreciate you so much 🙏❤️
@@esotericaband I appreciate you too! Wouldn’t be here today without you guys and I can honestly say that
