    I'm not sure about Russian Roulette, by Rihanna

    But FireFlies by Owl City i think i do.

    You would not believe your eyes

    If ten million fireflies

    Lit up the world as I fell asleep

    'Cause they'd fill the open air

    And leave teardrops everywhere

    You'd think me rude

    But I would just stand and stare

    I'd like to make myself believe

    That planet Earth turns slowly

    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

    Awake when I'm asleep

    'Cause everything is never as it seems

    'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

    From ten thousand lightning bugs

    As they tried to teach me how to dance

    A foxtrot above my head

    A sock hop beneath my bed

    A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

    I'd like to make myself believe

    That planet Earth turns slowly

    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

    Awake when I'm asleep

    'Cause everything is never as it seems

    When I fall asleep

    Leave my door open just a crack

    (Please take me away from here)

    'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

    (Please take me away from here)

    Why do I tire of counting sheep

    (Please take me away from here)

    When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

    To ten million fireflies

    I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

    I got misty eyes as they said farewell

    But I'll know where several are

    If my dreams get real bizarre

    'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

    I'd like to make myself believe

    That planet Earth turns slowly

    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

    Awake when I'm asleep

    'Cause everything is never as it seems

    When I fall asleep

    I'd like to make myself believe

    That planet Earth turns slowly

    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

    Awake when I'm asleep

    'Cause everything is never as it seems

    When I fall asleep

    I'd like to make myself believe

    That planet earth turns slowly

    It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

    Awake when I'm asleep

    Because my dreams are bursting at the seems

    I think in Fireflies by Owl City is that the person would rather stay asleep then stay awake because their dreams are bursting and in their dreams they can do anything without limitations unlike in reality where your dreams can fail or never even come true thats why it keeps repeating "It's hard to say I'd rather stay awake when i'm alseep" AND "My dreams are brusting as it seems?"

    The person would rather sleep than be awake.

    I consider Pedo Panda- no originality, creativeness or precise proficiency...or, very infrequent. Kinda performed with the artist Pedo recounted. Don't particularly concentrate to radio anymore....for now. Waiting for the "section" to run its direction
