Fleesh is a Brazilian rock project formed in 2014 by Gabby Vessoni and Celo Oliveira.
It all started in 2014 when Celo and Gabby decided to record some songs, making their first record "My Real Life", released in 2015 independently. After this album release, they started to record some tribute versions on their YouTube Channel, reaching an large number of people all over the world.
Versions like Renaissance, Steve Hackett, Rush and Marillion were really embraced by the audience, influencing the duo to record their next album called "What I Found" (2017), with more progressive rock influences!
After this, also in 2017, a Rush tribute album called "The Next Hemisphere" was released with 14 songs trying to cover the band's career. They did a successful crowdfunding campaign to release both albums as physical copies as well.
In 2018, the project decided to record a new tribute album and, this time, a double album. "Script for a New Season" is Fleesh's tribute to Marillion, a band they admire a lot and is a huge influence to them.
At the end of 2018 they started to record their 3rd original album. This time, a concept album called "Across the Sea", trying to show all the stages of depression on the lyrics and on the instrumental parts as well.
In 2019 the project finally hits the stage as a duo, doing their very first live concert in the USA on April and, on October, they hit the Brazilian stages with a full band (Rodrigo Zacconi on bass and Leo Peccatu on drums) to perform songs from their latest record "Across the Sea". Releasing a live DVD from their very first concert as well.
In 2020 the duo releases a Renaissance and a Genesis tribute double albums and gets ready for their 4th original album!

Butterflies
Fleesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Red butterflies flying on the sky so fast
They've all looked the same for so long
How could they know that they were
Making me a prisioner telling me I'm a mess
I've buried my soul and hidden all my best
And now I see I can break free and can be me 'Cause
Red butterflies can be anywhere you go
They may try to change you
But you can still you
Bad butterflies will be everywhere you look
They can try to mute you
But you can still blue
Now that I know I'm not a big mess
I can be myself and live outside the glass
Now my real life begins, I'll take control
I'm pressing start for
A new life where I don't have to hide
Even with all their poison they can't bite me
And now I see I can break free and can be me 'Cause
Red butterflies can be anywhere you go
They may try to change you
But you can still you
Bad butterflies will be everywhere you look
They can try to mute you
But you can still blue
Now you have to be careful
You're the only one
Who knows who you really are
You are the only one
Who knows your own scars
And they'll never know
The lyrics to Fleesh's song Butterflies explore a theme of self-discovery and acceptance in the face of societal pressure to conform. The opening lines, "Hiding myself in this jar of glass, Red butterflies flying on the sky so fast," set the scene for the internal struggle the singer is facing. They feel trapped and isolated from the world around them, surrounded by "red butterflies" which represent the pressures of society. Despite feeling like a prisoner to these external expectations, the singer realizes that they can break free and embrace their true self.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the "red butterflies" can be found anywhere, and that they may try to change you. However, the singer asserts that despite this external pressure, they can still be true to themselves. The message is empowering and encourages the listener to embrace their individuality, even in the face of pressure to conform. The third verse ends on a positive note, with the singer feeling confident in their newfound sense of self and ready to take control of their life.
Overall, the lyrics to Butterflies are a powerful statement of self-acceptance and empowerment. They urge the listener to break free from societal pressure and embrace their true self, even if that means going against the norm.

Hiding myself in this jar of glass
I am concealing myself within an enclosure made of glass
Red butterflies flying on the sky so fast
Bright hued insects with wings in motion, traversing the heavens with speed
They've all looked the same for so long
It has been the same for them perpetually
How could they know that they were
They were oblivious of the fact that they were like this
Making me a prisioner telling me I'm a mess
They are domineering me, as well as informing me of my deficiencies
I've buried my soul and hidden all my best
I have interred my inner spirit and obscured my strengths
And now I see I can break free and can be me 'Cause
Currently I comprehend that I'm capable of emancipating myself and being true to myself because
Red butterflies can be anywhere you go
Crimson butterflies are ubiquitous
They may try to change you
They might make an effort to modify you
But you can still you
However, you still have the opportunity to be yourself
Bad butterflies will be everywhere you look
However, malevolent butterflies will be present in your field of view
They can try to mute you
They may endeavor to silence you
But you can still blue
But you can still retain your spirit
Now that I know I'm not a big mess
Now that I am aware I am not a disaster
I can be myself and live outside the glass
I can be authentic and reside outside the glass jar
Now my real life begins, I'll take control
Now my existence can begin, and I'll take charge
I'm pressing start for
I'm initiating a process of change towards
A new life where I don't have to hide
A novel existence in which I don't need to conceal myself
Even with all their poison they can't bite me
Despite all their malice they cannot harm me
And now I see I can break free and can be me 'Cause
Presently I know I can break loose and be true to myself because
Now you have to be careful
Now, you must exercise care
You're the only one
You are the only one
Who knows who you really are
Who knows genuinely who you are
You are the only one
You are the solitary one
Who knows your own scars
Who comprehends your own distress
And they'll never know
And they will never be aware

Jays reviews: The slide guitar opening leads you down a false path as “Butterflies” flutters away into into a sweet sounding but melancholic tale of hope and despair. A metaphoric story of being trapped in a typhoon as the world swoops around you blinding, stealing the very essence of who and what you are, while escaping from the branches of self doubt. A beautifully simple constructed chorus and great use of harmonies makes this a sweet opening to 2015’s “My Real Life”
