it actually does. "I like to make myself believe" is him basically saying he wishes time moves slowly so he could live longer that type of thing. "Its hard to say it'd rather stay awake" is basically talking him about lucid dreaming, he'd rather expereince reality than waste his time dreaming. Similarly, ten thousand hugs from thousand bugs basically means each gives ten thousand hugs, totalling to 10 million firelifes, which takes us back to the 3rd and 1st verse. Its all very thought out, just need to think deep. Nothing in nonsense in here

💖⚡😀I've been saying this for a while! Maybe in order to count as a hug, the smallest possible human hug is what we should be using as our standard hug unit. Lets say its 60% of the circumference of his torso. Lets say his torso is 32". 60% of 32" is 19.2". Fireflies can reach up to 1 inch. If we take the standard hug size of 19.2 and round up to 20, thats 20 one-inch fireflies per hug. 10'000 fireflies divided by 20 fireflies per hug = 500 hugs at @ 1 hug per 20 fireflies. Each 20FF group of insects can hug him exactly twice for 1'000 hugs from 10'000 lightning bugs. Or maybe it's more the metaphorical sense that light given off by the 10,000 lightning bugs is the "hug" but only 1,000 of those lightning bugs can illuminate him at a time with the rest having a small percentage of buglight peeking through the cloud of lightning bugs directly Illuminating him.

From the man himself: Pryce - great question. I was the recipient of 1,000 hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs for a grand total of 10,000,000 hugs. As the lyrics of the song clearly state, the average layperson would not believe their eyes if 10,000,000 fireflies were to illuminate planet Earth, nor would the average person conclude by natural instinct that 10,000 lightning bugs, acting as a collective group, are capable of embracing a human being 1,000 times without difficulty. By the same token, a gathering of lightning bugs in such vast numbers form a sort of “swarm," and a swarm can collectively surround a human and deliver a “hug” that a single firefly, acting according to the dictates of his own conscience, simply cannot. Consequently, I was embraced 1,000 times by 10,000 luminescent insects. This may seem inconceivable due to the firefly’s soft-shelled body, which is common among all winged beetles within the Lampyridae insect family. Members of the scientific community may be tempted to cast doubt upon the possibility of this exchange due to the immobility of the prothorax and pterothorax, in addition to the elytra protruding outward while a firefly is engaged in mid-flight. However, I can testify to the accuracy of this exchange. I can furthermore add that while each individual hug took place, each firefly participated in the chemical reaction commonly known as bioluminescence in which the enzymes within the firefly, in the presence of oxygen, magnesium ions and ATP, emitted a chemically produced light or “glow” because they were happy to be hugging me. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any further questions. Stream “Fireflies” on Apple Music and Spotify www.insider.com/owl-city-fireflies-song-lightning-bug-hug-meme-2017-6?amp
