Butterfly Effect
Exo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

공기마저 적막한 밤에
지쳐버린 맘이 잠들지 못해
나 홀로 헤매던 터널의 끝에
따스히 닿아오던 숨
너의 숨 ooh ooh yeah

아주 여린 그 숨결에
나의 마음이 쉴 곳을 찾아
나를 감싸

내 안에 바람처럼 불어온 angel
네게서 일어난 온기가 변화시켜 날
이젠 두렵지 않아 내 곁엔 네가 있어
이 손을 놓지 않을 테니

You're saving my life (oh oh oh yeah yeah oh oh oh)
Saving my life
(Oh oh oh yeah yeah)
사라지지 마

네가 가진 색이 날 물들인 느낌
너와 함께할수록 강해져 모든 것이
외롭던 시간을 지나 새롭게 시작되는 꿈
너란 꿈 ooh ooh yeah

포근히 부는 바람결에
나의 전부가 제자리를 찾아
꿈만 같아

내 안에 바람처럼 불어온 angel
네게서 일어난 온기가 변화시켜 날
이젠 두렵지 않아 내 곁엔 네가 있어
이 손을 놓지 않을 테니

You're saving my life (oh oh oh yeah yeah oh oh oh)
Saving my life
(Oh oh oh yeah yeah)
사라지지 마

어두운 밤 희미했던 빛
나에게 소중한 의미
어지러운 내 맘의 불씨 who?
꿈을 꾸듯 내게 날아든
나를 바꿔 줄 유일한 사람 you!
지쳐있던 맘을 녹이고 두 팔로 날 감싸고
포근한 품 속 그 온기에 휩싸여
이젠 나 홀로 지치지 않도록
방황하고 또 헤맬 때마다
너를 기억해 angel of my life (yeah)

기적처럼 내 품에 날아든 angel
네게서 불어온 사랑이 변화시켜 날
이젠 두렵지 않아 내 곁엔 네가 있어
이 손을 놓지 않을 테니

You're saving my life
(Oh oh oh yeah yeah oh oh)
Saving my life
(Oh oh oh yeah yeah)
사라지지 마

Angel, angel, angel, come, flying, flying
(Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo) oh oh yeah yeah




Angel, angel, angel, come, flying, flying
(Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo) 사라지지 마

Overall Meaning

The song "Butterfly Effect" by Exo talks about finding comfort and love in someone when everything is bleak and hopeless. The lyrics describe a person who is lost, unable to sleep and wandering aimlessly until they find warmth and solace at the end of a tunnel. The soft breath of the person they love becomes a sanctuary, a safe space where they can rest their weary self. The lyrics make a reference to the butterfly effect, which is the idea that small changes can have large consequences. In this case, the warmth and love that the person feels from their significant other changes everything for them. They feel stronger, empowered, and unafraid because they know that they are not alone. The song talks about how one person can bring about big changes in another's life and how sometimes we just need someone to hold onto in the dark.


One interesting fact about "Butterfly Effect" is that the title comes from a scientific theory that small actions or events can have far-reaching consequences. The song was also released as part of the Korean boy band Exo's repackage album "Don't Fight The Feeling" in May 2021. The song was composed and written by Lindgren and Ferry, two Swedish producers who have also produced for popular K-pop groups such as Red Velvet and Shinee. Another interesting fact about the song is that it was initially written for a gaming company but was later given to Exo as a gift. The song became an instant hit, topping the charts in both Korea and China, where the band has a massive fan base.


The chorus of the song, "You're saving my life," is a catchy hook that is easy to sing-along to. The song's melody is soothing and calming, which makes it perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Interestingly, the song is sung entirely in Korean, but this has not stopped it from reaching a global audience. The music video for the song features the members of Exo in various settings, from being alone in the dark to being surrounded by friends. The video showcases the importance of having someone to lean on during tough times.
