Butterflies
demxntia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where not a thing would matter
Not a care within the world
Wasn't really thinkin' 'bout her
But my eyes are feelin' heavy like
The weight thats on my chest
Cuz lately I been feelin' empty but
You should know that best
There's a void within my chest
But my mind full
Next time I wanna get attached
I'll be mindful instead of walkin' on a
Tightrope with a blindfold
And expecting not to fall
Into this everlasting cycle
I swear this is Deja Vu
Because I know I wrote at least
A hundrеd songs just about you
I know I probably shouldn't want you
But you help me take my mind off
All thе things that I been through
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times that we had
(Thinking about the times that
I made you laugh)
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times
That we shared
(Every time I close my eyes I see you there)
Every time I hear your voice
It gives me butterflies
Tryna hide the fact that I get anxious
When I look into your eyes
And I tell myself these lies
That I hope you never hear
The lies that I was writing when
I was mising you my dear
Now lying wide awake
I wonder why I feel this way
This empty heart gets colder
Almost every single day
I've been staring at these four white walls
Like do I mean a thing to you at all?
So take away my ability to feel
Because I'd rather numb my senses than
Feeling something that ain't real
Every night my heart is sinking
Or maybe I'm just overthinking
I'm not so sure
Maybe I'm just wasting all my time
Cuz every time we cease communication
I feel so confined
And every night I think of you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
Every night I think of you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
The song "Butterflies" by demxntia reflects on the complicated emotions and experiences of a past relationship.
In the first verse, the lyrics reminisce about a time when the singer was carefree and unaffected by any romantic entanglements. However, as time goes on, the weight of emotional emptiness begins to take its toll. The lyrics imply that the person the singer is addressing knows this feeling best.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's mindset. There is an internal struggle between wanting to connect with someone emotionally and the fear of getting hurt again. They acknowledge that in the past, they were reckless in their attachments, walking on a "tightrope with a blindfold" and expecting not to fall. This everlasting cycle of emotional vulnerability seems to be recurring in their life.
The chorus further emphasizes the impact the person in question has on the singer. Their voice gives them a sense of excitement and anxiousness, evident from the butterflies in their stomach. The singer admits to telling themselves lies, which they hope the other person never discovers. These lies were likely written during a period of longing for the other person.
In the final verse, the loneliness and confusion intensify. The singer is lying awake, questioning why they feel this way and why the other person may not reciprocate these emotions. They feel cold and insignificant, as if their existence doesn't matter to the other person. The lyrics express a desire to numb their feelings rather than experience something that may not be genuine.
The song concludes with a sense of uncertainty and doubt. The singer wonders if they are wasting their time, especially when communication between them and the other person becomes scarce. They feel trapped and yearn for the other person's response. The repeated line at the end emphasizes the longing and insecurity, as they question whether the other person feels the same way.
Line by Line Meaning
Lets take it back back to the days
Let's go back in time to a simpler period
Where not a thing would matter
Where nothing would have significance
Not a care within the world
No worries or concerns
Wasn't really thinkin' 'bout her
I wasn't really thinking about her
But my eyes are feelin' heavy like
But my eyes are burdened
The weight thats on my chest
The heavy burden on my heart
Cuz lately I been feelin' empty but
Because recently I have been feeling empty
You should know that best
You should know it better than anyone
There's a void within my chest
There is an emptiness within me
But my mind full
But my mind is occupied
Next time I wanna get attached
Next time I want to form an emotional connection
I'll be mindful instead of walkin' on a
I will be cautious instead of taking unnecessary risks
Tightrope with a blindfold
Walking on a narrow path without clear vision
And expecting not to fall
And expecting not to experience failure
Into this everlasting cycle
Into this endless pattern
I swear this is Deja Vu
I feel like I have experienced this before
Because I know I wrote at least
Because I know I have written at least
A hundrеd songs just about you
One hundred songs solely about you
I know I probably shouldn't want you
I know I probably shouldn't desire you
But you help me take my mind off
But you help me distract myself from
All thе things that I been through
All the things that I have experienced
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times that we had
Trapped in memories of the moments we shared
(Thinking about the times that
(Remembering the moments when
I made you laugh)
I brought joy to your life)
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times
Trapped in memories of the moments
That we shared
That we experienced together
(Every time I close my eyes I see you there)
(Every time I close my eyes, I see you in my mind)
Every time I hear your voice
Every time I listen to your voice
It gives me butterflies
It fills me with excitement and nervousness
Tryna hide the fact that I get anxious
Trying to conceal my feelings of anxiety
When I look into your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes
And I tell myself these lies
And I deceive myself with these falsehoods
That I hope you never hear
That I wish you never discover
The lies that I was writing when
The lies that I was crafting when
I was mising you my dear
I was longing for you, my dear
Now lying wide awake
Now lying fully alert
I wonder why I feel this way
I question why I feel like this
This empty heart gets colder
This vacant heart becomes colder
Almost every single day
Nearly every day
I've been staring at these four white walls
I have been gazing at these plain walls
Like do I mean a thing to you at all?
Asking myself if I hold any significance to you
So take away my ability to feel
Remove my capacity to feel
Because I'd rather numb my senses than
Because I prefer dulling my senses over
Feeling something that ain't real
Experiencing something that is not genuine
Every night my heart is sinking
Every night my heart is descending
Or maybe I'm just overthinking
Or maybe I am just excessively thinking
I'm not so sure
I am uncertain
Maybe I'm just wasting all my time
Perhaps I am just squandering my time
Cuz every time we cease communication
Because every time we stop communicating
I feel so confined
I feel restricted
And every night I think of you
And every night I contemplate about you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
I wonder if you share the same emotions as me
Every night I think of you
Every night I think about you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
I wonder if you experience the same emotions I do

yeah
Let's take it back
Back to the days where
Not a thing would matter
Not a care within' the world
Wasn't really thinkin' 'bout her
But my eyes are feelin' heavy
Like the weight that's on my chest
'Cause lately, I been feelin' empty
But you should know that best
There's a void within' my chest
But my mind full
Next time I wanna get attached
I'll be mindful
Instead of walkin' on a tightrope
With a blindfold and expecting not to fall into this
Everlasting cycle
And I swear this is déjà vu
'Cause I know I wrote at least a hundred songs just about you
I know I probably shouldn't want you
But you help me take my mind off
All the things that I been through
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times that we had
(Thinking about the times that I made you laugh)
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times we shared
(Every time I close my eyes, I see you there)
Every time I hear your voice, it gives me butterflies
Tryna hide the fact that I get anxious when I look into your eyes
And I tell myself these lies
That I hope that you never hear
The lies that I was writin' when I was missing you, my dear
Now, lying wide awake, I wonder why I feel this way
This empty heart gets colder almost every single day
I've been staring at these four white walls
Like, do I mean a thing to you at all?
So take away my ability to feel
Because I'd rather numb my senses
Than feeling something that ain't real
But every night my heart is sinking
Or maybe I'm just overthinking
And I'm not so sure
Maybe I'm just wasting all my time
'Cause every time we cease communication
I feel so confined
And every night I think of you
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
Every night I think of you
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
