Amélie
Butch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i'd eat it too
it burns and blisters
you want it to
i never swallow
i chew i chew
the darker berry
spit back at you
it takes too long to hear you scream it
he was a troubled teen
he read a magazine
the prince wants to be a queen
suddenly the gun was loaded
it never came
i pulled the trigger
ignored the stain
tying the knot
tightens the strain
and death is worth the price of fame
i can't take what you don't mean
it makes them quiet
when you scream it
butch is pink
butch is blue
you like strawberries
i like you
i'd wear your dress
i'd burn it too
don't baby baby i'll baby you
i double meant it
you double knew
the double pleasure
i took from you
left before they came to save you
i want back the time i gave you
you were a troubled teen
you're in the magazines
the prince wants to be a queen
honestly
The lyrics to Butch's song Amelie are full of metaphorical language and ambiguous meaning, making it a challenging but intriguing song to interpret. The opening lines, "you ate your heart out, I'd eat it too" suggest a sense of self-destructive behavior or a willingness to consume all of someone else's emotional turmoil, even at great cost to oneself. The line "the darker berry spit back at you" hints at a sense of rebellion or aggression towards someone who may have been trying to manipulate or control the singer.
The song takes a darker turn in the next few lines, with references to teenage troubles, gun violence, and a sense of fatalistic fame. It's unclear who the "you" in the song might be, but they seem to be someone the singer has a complicated relationship with - possibly a romantic partner or a former friend. The repeated line "I can't take what you don't mean" suggests a sense of mistrust or wariness on the singer's part, as if they need explicit communication in order to feel secure in their relationships.
The final verse of the song returns to the theme of troubled adolescence and a desire for fame, with the line "the prince wants to be a queen" perhaps referencing someone struggling with gender identity or societal expectations. The final lines of the song, "left before they came to save you / I want back the time I gave you" suggest a sense of regret or longing for something lost, perhaps a sense of innocence or a simpler time in the singer's past.
Overall, the lyrics of Amelie are rich with symbolism and meaning, exploring themes of self-destructive behavior, mistrust, and the struggles of adolescence.
