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.

I feel bad for people who don't know about this band.

[@esme6346]

A long as it's viewed and shared I don't care. Dint know many artists with such integrity, they deserve massive acclaim.

[@CherylPlover-p9w]

One of the best I’ve ever heard!! Sublime.

[@TemplarsSword]

I love it and l can’t see or hear much difference unless l am blind and deaf. It’s an absolute classic.

[@seloxia]

I noticed a few differences: the cyborg has less flesh and more glowing circuitry, the mushrooms have a really cool patterned light effect, and the girl's hand bleeds less from being pricked by the thorn during her ascent.
All in i really love this edit, i feel the extra details actually enhance what is already a truly awe inspiring video that i never tire of watching.

[@bella_biohazard]

Censored or not, this song and video is incredible and bingeworthy ❤ Esoterica is without the shadow of a doubt, my favourite band lf all time ❤❤

[@HelloItsYou]

So crazy youtube considered the last video "too shocking" 😂😂 the last video was perfection but still this slightly censored verison is just as good

[@MELOMANIACC]

Beautiful video backed by a cool track! 👍

[@sergeyankovsky5442]

Now I can hit like button for a second time😊

[@yolo8009]

Wow❤

[@bloodysaint]

YT reminded me on you guys, though I haven't listened to your music for years. And I never knew I needed your music today. Nostalgic, but feels like a breath of fresh air at the same time.
Praise the algorithm!

[@tyleduden]

Best video for any song in a long long time .. can’t see why anything needed censoring but hey !! … can’t wait for the album

[@1erCult]

Das Lied, das Video und die Stimmung sind ein Absolutes Meisterwerk ❤

[@anneshuker7236]

Such a beautiful song. Love love love! 🥰 🖤

[@NocfyGaming]

I always show people this video (the uncensored one) it's an amazing song, but the video is sooooo good. I watch this a couple times a week. It's incredible and thought provoking.

[@joaopauloestacio]

Censurado? Que isso ? Uma obra prima dessa, não pode ser censurada Jamais. É uma da obras mais linda de se vê e escutar.

[@esotericaband]

Sim, concordamos! Mas o incrível Diretor queria fazer uma versão com um brilho um pouco diferente...

[@littleems6337]

this is so very beautiful, maybe i could play harp for you guys one day :)

[@TacticalVillain]

We miss you! The states need you

[@hotglassmcnash]

Love you guys! Love this song 💖💫✨🫶🏼

[@DaNy_MaNsOn_15]

but how can you censor such a beautiful video and song!!! I heard you live for the first time in Italy before the Marilyn Manson concert, since that day I have been following you with pleasure 😉💜

[@buzzy-ears]

Oh thank god, my virgin eyes don't have to be SHOCKED anymore 😑 Google has no idea what the hell it's doing.

[@ВераМясина]

The best band in the world

[@AcydDrop]

I love this song. I vote for esOterica the video game.. XBox, Playstation and PC please. I'd buy it, as long as you guys do the music of course.

[@traptionvibesoffical]

This would one sick video game with a soundtrack like this to complete it

[@MsKornkitty]

This is great! Happy to have you back. :)

[@codyb6849]

What a beautiful awesome amazing song and you guys remind me of breaking Benjamin with your sound, but it is amazing. The song is and I love the video and the creativity of it. You did awesome and I hope you have a good 2025 happy new year.

[@salvadorsarmiento]

[@kimpenny8388]

I love it Esoterica I loved the original one to and couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I saw worse things on my son’s Xbox games ❤🎤🎸🧚🏼

[@InSearchOfSun]

Stunning x

[@niikon]

Pretty nerdy question incoming… how much time did the re-render of the censored scenes take?

[@ScottieBibble]

Still a beautiful video, looks a lot sharper too

[@tonikingman5227]

Still awesome x

[@traptionvibesoffical]

Hello world 👋

[@FastNCurious88]

Censored? Where?

[@DaNy_MaNsOn_15]

when is the new album coming out?

[@tobiaskeast6866]

From now on through 25

[@dvp8v]

Don’t know why it was censored. Am I missing something?

[@esotericaband]

@@dvp8v Google said that it was “Limited” in results due to “shocking” content… 🫠

[@ishkar8473]

The only difference I noticed was, the final boss was more cyborg looking. The original was more humanoid.

[@niikon]

Mushrooms seem to have more details, light-infused „inscriptions“?
