Butterfly Effect
9mm Parabellum Bullet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

幽霊船は気の向くままに
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 symbolism of the butterfly effect is also present in the lyrics, as small actions or events can have major consequences in the future.
