What is the song Butterfly about?

Life can often feel overwhelming, with so many responsibilities and obligations to keep up with. It can be challenging to strike a balance between staying productive and taking time for self-care and relaxation. But that's exactly what this song captures - the feeling of shifting between those two modes, of being focused and a little bit lost at the same time. As the lyrics suggest, there's something beautiful about finding your own happy place, a place where you can let your thoughts and emotions soar like a butterfly.

So if you're looking for a musical expression of that push-pull dynamic, give this song a listen!

Butterfly lyrics

Can’t seem to let some of my energy go (so worked up, worked up)
I’m always hyped and in a continuous flow (so worked up, worked up)
Oh, but wait a second, is it a curse, or a blessing
I’d rather see too much than be completely blind, oh but

All of these words, are running through my mind
I try to arrange them, get everything aligned
Why am I always rushed, I can’t seem to be fine
But when I look into your eyes, I’m all right

Well, I feel like a butterfly, flying around in my head
Lost in space and time, doing nothing
Instead, productive from time to time, with us creating
Our peaceful, silly kind of life, wherein I’m all right

Breath in, headspace is telling me to do so (worked up, worked up)
I’m listening with halve, the other halve is gone (so worked up, worked up)
Oh, but wait a second, is it a curse, or a blessing
I’d rather feel too much than feel completely numb, oh but

All of these words, are running through my mind
I try to arrange them, get everything aligned
Why am I always rushed, I can’t seem to be fine
But when I look into your eyes, I’m all right

Well, I feel like a butterfly, flying around in my head
Lost in space and time, doing nothing
Instead, productive from time to time, with us creating
Our peaceful, silly kind of life, wherein I’m all right

Peaceful, silly kind of life, yeah
Yeah, a peaceful, silly kind of life, wherein I’m alright
