Beckett Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bu erfly
Where will you fly
In such a short time?
You just don’t mind
Bu erfly
Bu erfly
You don’t wanna die
But you won’t turn in

You’d rather shine
In your short sky
It’s enough
For you for us
It’s enough
Thanks
We won’t forget
We had you on our land
We won’t forget

Your short life
Bu erfly

Overall Meaning

In the first paragraph, the lyrics speak to the transient and fleeting nature of life, comparing it to the flight of a butterfly. The question "Where will you fly in such a short time?" reflects on the brevity of life and the limited time we have to make an impact. Despite this, the butterfly is portrayed as carefree and unaffected by its short lifespan.

In the second paragraph, the lyrics continue to explore the concept of mortality. The butterfly is characterized as desiring to live and survive, but it chooses not to surrender or give in to the inevitability of death. Instead, it chooses to shine in its short time on Earth, suggesting that it embraces its existence and strives to make the most of it.

The third paragraph acknowledges the significance of the butterfly's presence. It states that the amount of time the butterfly spends in the sky is enough, not just for itself, but also for those who observe it. The lyrics express gratitude for the butterfly's presence and imply that its short but beautiful life has left a lasting impact on those who witnessed it.

In the final paragraph, the lyrics emphasize that the memory of the butterfly will not be forgotten. The phrase "We had you on our land" implies that the butterfly's presence was cherished and valued. Its short life is acknowledged as significant, reinforcing the idea that even fleeting moments can hold deep meaning and leave an indelible mark on our lives. The lyrics ultimately pay tribute to the butterfly's existence and the impact it had during its limited time on Earth.

I know this video already has lyrics 😪but I typed them anyway 😆

What was first, was it rain or the sun, was it Pain was it fun, shadow or the tree’s.

People say after one comes a two, well that’s not necessarily true if you’re with me.

But I unbelievably love when a story ends and a new begins. Like turning into a butterfly, step back when I shed my skin.

And I uncontrollably long for some inexplicable things. Like oh Ah ohh Ah ohh and step back when I spread my wings

oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3) 🔁

You step back when I spread my wings. (x2) 🔁

oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3)🔁
You step back when I shed my skin.
You step back when I spread my wings.
When I spread my...
oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3)🔁

You step back when I spread my wings. (x2) 🔁

oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3)🔁
You step back when I shed my skin.
You step back when I spread my wings.
When I spread my wings (wings) 🔊

People say you need to crawl before you walk, you need to learn before you talk, I need to Sing.

And I promise you, I will unpredictably do everything different that I’m told. I’ll lean when you think I fall

But I unbelievably love when a story ends and a new begins. Like turning into a butterfly step back when I shed my skin.

And I uncontrollably long for some inexplicable things. Like oh Ah ohh Ah ohh and step back when I spread my wings

oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3) 🔁

You step back when I spread my wings. (x2) 🔁

oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3)🔁
You step back when I shed my skin.
You step back when I spread my wings.
When I spread my...
oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3)🔁

You step back when I spread my wings. (x2) 🔁

oh Ah ohh Ah ohh. (x3)🔁

You step back when I shed my skin.
You step back when I spread my wings.
When I spread my wings
