Butterfly
Aira Mitsuki Lyrics

The lyrics of Aira Mitsuki’s Butterfly seem to speak about the way life unfolds for us, as if predestined. From the beginning, the events we experience are shaped by some kind of algorithm, an equation that leads us through life. However, there is danger in doing things safely all the time, and sometimes we need to step out of the comfort zone to experience the extraordinary. The singer suggests that tears can help us face the troubles of life, and by shedding tears we can continue looking forward.

The chorus of the song showcases the title Butterfly, which symbolizes both the poison and the gift the singer received. While the poison represents something that may harm, the gift received represents the joy and love we hope to attain. There is a sense of longing in the lyrics, pondering the idea of being forgiven for one’s shortcomings, yet also questioning if one prefers to be alone. In the end, the song seems to celebrate the fleeting and short-lived nature of life, reminding us that everything is transient, including ourselves.
