Vial Ridgway and Raul Osuna, collected their belongings at their native Malaga and moved to Madrid to look for an opportunity. There they met Alfredo Baone, with whom they completed the formation of the band. It was five years with very little in the pocket and a lot in their hearts, doing gigs in various places while knocking at the doors of record companies with their demo. Until finally the multinational Universal saw in them the potential of the XXI century Spanish pop. So in 2001 their first album "Efecto Mariposa" came out and made it clear who they were and what they wanted. They published three singles: "Sola" (Alone), "Inocencia" (Innocence) and "Cuerpo con cuerpo" (Body to body). Efecto Mariposa surprised everybody of us when first hearing them by their freshness, personality and above all, by their live performance, touring all over Spain leaving their name as a mark of identity. The Butterfly Effect (which is "efecto mariposa" in English) is a mathematical theory that goes about the connection between two seemingly unrelated facts and opposite consequences. It says if, for example, a butterfly flapped its wings in Japan, this could cause a large tornado at the other end of the world. Everything is connected and what is apparently a totally innocent move, can have unimaginable consequences. Something like this actually happened in Mexico. The song "Sola" was played in Mexico and caused a true tornado. The band has crossed the Atlantic three times since going to Mexico, where they managed to stay more than four months among the most played groups in radio. With their music they made more than 10,000 people in the National Auditorium in Mexico City vibrate. They closed 2002 with more than forty concerts all over Spain. In "Efecto Mariposa", their first album, they had the help of Juan Luis Jiménez (Presuntos Implicados). In 2003 they published their second CD "Metamorfosis", produced by themselves with some help from Vicente Sabater and Juan González, giving the disc a new sound which was much closer to their live sound which attracted more followers every day, obtaining a spectacular effect. "Metamorfosis" contained seven new songs and a multimedia track which contains: an interview with the band, photographs, the "making of" Metamorphosis, a performance in Mexico last year and the video for "Que mas da" the first single. Metamorphosis was a lie to change the group's music became much more sugarcane than in the previous album. There were 2 singles on this record, "Que mas da" and "Say Where" In 2004 came his 4th album "Metamorphosis 2" group from Malaga, which seasoned and mature, that conveys self-confidence that have reached hundreds climbing scenarios, and that is if there's anything that Butterfly Effect stands out above the rest, is its ease and power that emerge on the stage. With "Metamorphosis 2", Susana, and Alfredo Vial make us partakers of the serenity that have achieved after so many years of struggle and effort, and reaffirm themselves through a variation of 11 topics among which includes a version, completely new issues and themes of his earlier work as the singles "Who cares" or "Tell me where" and a potent live version of his hit "Alone". He made 4 new songs for this CD World, Nobody, Si tu te vas and When 1 is 2. This CD Raul Osuna'm leaving the band's pianist. The following year came their latest CD which is the most complex of all even rock singles that have been the slower songs on the disc. This album was not with the Universal label that made them was with Tool music. They released 4 singles from this CD Another Story, I think, among flowers and Complexity. I think I get to be number 1 on the list of the top 40 chain and 100. The CD was reissued in 2006

Dime
Efecto Mariposa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dime la verdad, dime algo más
Qué hay entre tú y yo
Si confundo tus silencio entre amor y compasión
Navegando sin rumbo estoy
Como brújula llevo tu voz en el viento
Sembrando la ilusión
Llevo tu voz para que pueda decirme
¿Dónde te encontraré? eh eh

Si en cada momento me muero por quererte ver
Tan sólo un instante....
Entre mentiras, ironías, fingiendo siempre que existías
Y vivo así, imposible olvidar
Lamentándome, ignorando la verdad
De nuestro amor
Llevo tu voz, para que pueda decirme
¿Dónde te encontraré? eh eh
Si en cada momento me muero por quererte ver
Tan sólo un instante puedo sentir tu voz
¿Dónde te encontraré? eh eh
Luz entre sombras, se pierde al anochecer
Tan sólo en mis sueños
Puedo sentir tu voz
¿Dónde te encontraré? eh eh
Si en cada momento me muero por quererte ver
Tan sólo un instante puedo sentir tu voz
¿Dónde te encontraré? eh eh
Luz entre sombras, se pierde al anochecer
Tan sólo en mis sueños

Puedo sentir tu voz
Eo eo eo.......

Overall Meaning

In Efecto Mariposa's song, "Dime," the singer is desperate to understand the truth behind the complex dynamic between themselves and the person they are addressing. They plead for honesty and demand to know what exists between them, no matter how difficult it may be to hear. The singer is struggling with confusion, as they struggle to discern whether the other person's silence towards them is rooted in love or mere compassion.

The singer likens themselves to a ship without a destination, lacking any sense of direction or flow as they navigate through their emotions. They feel lost and hopeless, with only the other person's voice acting as a compass to guide them. Despite their confusion and sense of desperation, the singer remains optimistic, clinging to the hope that their love may ultimately win the day.

Overall, the song is a melancholy and emotional look at the challenges of navigating relationships. The lyrics are deeply introspective, capturing the fraught emotions that can exist between two people who are struggling to find their way towards each other.
