1. Butterfingers is an Australian hip-hop/rock group, from Brisbane, Queensland. They are known for their amusing lyrics & taboo subject matter.
Their first two singles “Everytime” and “I Love Work”, became instant hits with Triple J listeners when they were released in 2003. They reached positions 15 and 38 respectively in the Triple J Hottest 100 of that year. The “Breakfast at Fatboys” album remained in the top ten of the ARIA Independent charts for about a year. In June 2005 they released their new singles, FIGJAM and Jesus I Was Evil (a cover of the song by Darcy Clay), both songs went into high rotation on Triple J and placed 11th and 69th respectively in the 2005 Triple J Hottest 100. FIGJAM, in October 2005, was nominated for the Best Urban Release ARIA Award. The band released a second album, entitled “The Deeper You Dig” in June 2006, and a single “Nothing Much Happens” in late 2007.
2. Butterfingers, the Malaysian rock band, is one of the biggest bands in the Malaysian indie scene, and a pioneer of Malaysian underground scene. Butterfingers was formed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1991 when Loque, who also performs under the name monoloQue, (Khairil Ridzwan Bin Anuar), and his Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) schoolmate, Kadak (Mohd Fakharudin Bin Mohd Bahar), formed what was then known as Loque's Tail.
It was while jamming in Kuala Lumpur during 1993 at Black Widow Studios that they bumped into Emmett (Emmett Roslan Ishak), who was there jamming (as a guitarist) with his band at that time, Grunge Dayz . Impressed with what he saw, Loque challenged Emmett to a ‘jamming showdown', after which they mutually decided to join skills and creativity, to form their own band. After meeting up with drummer Kalai (Khairul Nizam Mois) later that year, Butterfingers was officially formed.
They catched the eye of EMI, who released their debut album 1.2 Milligrams in 1996. The album sold over 15,000 units and earned them a gold award, for sales over 15,000 units. Their sophomore album, Butter Worth Pushful, was released in 1997 to a rapidly growing fanbase of Malaysian underground scene. Drummer Loko (Muhammad Hafiz) has replaced Kalai by this time.
Transcendence, their third album was released in 1999, marking a phase of experimentation, with a fifth member Numlok providing a layer of electronica sound and samples over their rock tracks. It wasn't however until their fourth album, Malayneum which was released in 2001, that Butterfingers start abandoning their raw grunge sound for a more polished progressive rock style. The album was met with critical reviews, but not much commercial success.
After a period of public obscurity, Butterfingers continued to break grounds by releasing their fifth LP, Selamat Tinggal Dunia (2005) fully in Malay language. This marks the start of Butterfingers' move to return to their Malaysian roots, and in protest to the burgeoning Indonesian bands "invasion" in Malaysia. Their new direction was at first shunned by diehard fans, but as they toured more, Butterfingers had cemented themselves as a tour de force in the Malaysian indie scene.
They have just released their latest album, Kembali in August, 2008. The album signals a return to a more stable rock style and sound, promising to be an album full of music for the masses.
Mystery
Butterfingers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silence waiting game
Should have it to dawn
What I faces is were
#Think I'll stay on over
#Gotta move a little closer
#Think of what I should and shouldn't have
#To pity me enervated can't you see
(i'm not there)
*Mystery...mystery of
nothing...mystery...hey..yeah..yeah..yeah..mystery of
Disgrace
Should have followed her
Like I'd bother
Across the lake of my own
Guess I'd bother
The song "Mystery" by Butterfingers is a reflection on being strange and feeling misunderstood. The opening lyrics "Guess I once was strange, Silence waiting game, Should've hit it to dawn, What I faces is were" conveys a sense of confusion and introspection. The singer is contemplating their past actions and how they ended up where they are. They are struggling with the consequences of past choices and feel burdened by the mystery of what might have been if things had gone differently.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of uncertainty and self-doubt. The lines "Think I'll stay on over, Gotta move a little closer, Think of what I should and shouldn't have, And still I haven't hadn't had another chance, To pity me enervated can't you see (I'm not there)" express a desire to connect with others and find meaning in life, but also a sense of being lost and disconnected. The use of the word "mystery" throughout the song suggests that the singer is grappling with some larger existential questions that they may never fully understand.
Overall, "Mystery" is a melancholy song that explores the complexities of human emotion and the uncertainty of life. Through its introspective lyrics and haunting melody, it captures the feeling of being adrift in the world and trying to make sense of one's place in it.

Guess I once was strange
I used to be different from others
Silence waiting game
I am waiting in silence for something to happen
Should have it to dawn
I should have seen it coming
What I faces is were
I am facing the consequences of my actions
Think I'll stay on over
I will continue to stick around
Gotta move a little closer
I need to get closer to someone or something
Think of what I should and shouldn't have
I am reflecting on my past mistakes and what could have been avoided
And still I haven't hadn't had another chance
I haven't been given another opportunity to make things right
To pity me enervated can't you see
I am drained and exhausted from feeling sorry for myself
Mystery...mystery of nothing...mystery...hey..yeah..yeah..yeah..mystery of
The unknown and unclear is a mystery to me
Disgrace
I am feeling ashamed of my actions
Should have followed her
I wish I had paid attention and followed her advice
Like I'd bother
I didn't care enough to bother listening
Across the lake of my own
I am stuck in my own thoughts and emotions
Guess I'd bother
Maybe I should have cared more

Mystery
Guess it was so strange
Silence, waiting games
Should've acted dumb
Water faces, run
Think I’ll stay on over
Gotta a move a little closer
Think of what I have I shouldn’t have
And still I haven’t hadn’t had
Another chance, oh pity me
I’m enervated can’t you see
Self isn’t ungenerous
Moneymaker uberous / Sell it all, all our mistakes
Mystery Hey
Mystery I’m not there
Mystery Hey
Mystery I’m disgraced
Should it fall apart
Like I’d bother
Crastinate, am I wrong?
Guest of honor
Footnote: Mystery shall no longer remain a mystery. The word initially just sounded cool in the song. Then, the story evolved. Once upon a time, a band that shall not be named got the short end of the stick. The end - E

Guess I once was strange
Silence waiting game
Should have it to dawn
What I faces were
Think i'll stay on over
Gotta move a little closer
Think of what I should and shouldn't have
And still I haven't hadn't had another chance
To pity me enervated can't you see
Self-assured and generous
The only thing that really matter is
Mystery... mystery of nothing... mystery...
Hey... yeah... yeah... yeah... mystery of disgrace
Should have followed her
Like I'd bother
Across the lake of my own
Guess I'd bother
Think i'll stay on over
Gotta move a little closer
Think of what I should and shouldn't have
And still I haven't hadn't had another chance
To pity me enervated can't you see
Self-assured and generous
Slowly it lays out all mistakes
Mystery...mystery of nothing...mystery...
Hey..yeah..yeah..yeah..mystery of disgrace
Mystery...mystery of nothing...mystery...
Hey... yeah... yeah... yeah... mystery of nothing...
Ahhh...
Mystery...mystery of nothing...mystery...
Hey... yeah... yeah... yeah... mystery of disgrace
Mystery...
Mystery... yeah... ( 3X )
Mystery of nothing
