Butterfly Brain
Full Colour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One that's caught up in illusions
And caught up in pain
I've never been on this side of the coin
I was caught up in illusions and caught up in joy
Now I guess we'll never get to find out
If those visions will come true, oh we'll never know now
Oh, I've got a butterfly brain
One that's caught up in illusions
And caught up in pain
Oh, I've got a butterfly brain
One that's caught up in illusions
And caught up in pain
And will he spoil you like I didn't?
Will he make the right decisions? When will I be forgiven?
I'm just cold as fuck and don't empathise
Because I don't think of consequences or what is on your mind
Oh, I've got a butterfly brain
One that's caught up in illusions
And caught up in pain
Oh, I've got a butterfly brain
One that's caught up in illusions
And caught up in pain
Why are you always right?
You predict the future
And see through my lies
Why are you always right?
You predict the future
And see through my lies
Why are you always right?
You predict the future
And see through my lies
Why are you always right?
You predict the future
And see through my
The lyrics to "Butterfly Brain" by Full Colour convey the feeling of being trapped in a mindset that is filled with both illusions and pain. The singer describes having a "butterfly brain," which suggests a mind that is constantly flitting between different thoughts and ideas, never settling on one. This leads to a constant state of confusion and uncertainty.
The line "I've never been on this side of the coin" implies a change in perspective or experience. The singer used to be caught up in illusions and joy, but now they are facing the harsh reality of life and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics express a sense of regret and longing for the past, as the singer laments the missed opportunities to see if their visions would have come true.
The chorus repeats the phrase "One that's caught up in illusions and caught up in pain," emphasizing the cyclical nature of the singer's thought process. They are continually trapped in a pattern of illusions that bring them joy but ultimately lead to pain.
In the second verse, the lyrics take on a more personal tone, addressing a specific person. The singer wonders if this person will be treated better by someone else, expressing feelings of inadequacy and guilt. They recognize their own flaws, admitting to being "cold as fuck" and lacking empathy. The lyrics suggest a lack of consideration for the consequences of their actions and a failure to understand what their partner may be feeling.
Overall, "Butterfly Brain" portrays a complex emotional journey, characterized by illusions, pain, regret, and self-reflection. It encapsulates the struggle of navigating a constantly shifting mindset and grappling with the consequences of one's actions.
