Butterfly Effect
9mm Parabellum Bullet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
霧深い海を旅する
港を離れて
波に託した願いごとは
浜辺に打ち揚げられる
真空管の夢を見ながら
インクで染めた宇宙まで
風船を飛ばす歩き始めたばかりの子が
働き蟻を踏み潰す
静かに揺れる向日葵
生まれたての風は透明な空の色
生まれたての風は透明な空の色
The lyrics to "Butterfly Effect" by 9mm Parabellum Bullet paint a vivid picture of a ghost ship sailing aimlessly through a misty sea. The ship's wishes are entrusted to the waves and ultimately perish on the shore. The dreamy imagery continues with a journey through space, colored by ink and vacuum tube dreams, and a child's innocent act inadvertently crushing an ant. The symbolism of the butterfly effect is also present in the lyrics, as small actions or events can have major consequences in the future. The chorus describes the sway of sunflowers and the transparent blue sky of a newly born wind, perhaps representing the beauty of nature that is often overlooked in the chaos of everyday life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Butterfly Effect" explore themes of longing, isolation, dreams, and the fleeting nature of existence. The imagery is both haunting and whimsical, with a sense of wanderlust and a yearning for something intangible.
