Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Flip-Flop's song "Butterfly" seem to speak of a desire for transformation and escape from the complexities and hardships of everyday life. The singer expresses a longing to be a butterfly, specifically a blue and shiny one, and to observe themselves from the sky. This imagery of flight and self-reflection suggests a desire for freedom and the ability to transcend earthly struggles.


The singer seems to be experiencing some emotional turmoil or confusion, as evidenced by their repetition of questioning whether the girl they encounter each day is showing them a sad face. They seek comfort in sitting alone and feeling the warmth of their own embrace. However, there is also a reference to a shadowy figure that appears to be the singer's devilish reflection, which suggests that perhaps the source of their troubles comes from within.


The final stanza appears to express a desire to escape to somewhere else, even if it means leaving behind the sweetness of life ("the honey from flower to flower"). The singer longs to rise up and fly away "from here", suggesting that they are seeking a new beginning and a chance to leave their troubles behind.


Overall, "Butterfly" is a poetic expression of the human desire for transformation, escape, and self-discovery amidst life's hardships.

The flip flop stamps was a genius move. Have to have these to go with my regular stamps. Mirror stamping has not been my friend. Such a great idea. Iโ€™m sending long distance hugs to my sister that lives in Texas.
