[Music - Erebor / Palacio, Lyrics - Erebor / Duque]

She's got my soul catch in her darkest wings
She know my sadness and she rules my mind
I can't remember but I'm breakin' down
I'd lost control of my own empty life
She's like a butterfly
She's got my soul catch in her darkest wings
She know my sadness and she rules my mind
I can't remember but I'm breakin' down
I'd lost control of my own empty life
Con su suave vuelo, eleva mis sueños




Sus colores me hipnotizan y me drogan
She's like a butterfly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gaias Pendulum's song "Butterfly" tell the story of a person who has become completely enveloped by someone else's presence. This person is described as having their soul captured in the "darkest wings" of this other individual, who knows their sadness and controls their thoughts. The singer is struggling to maintain a sense of self, as they have lost control of their own life and emotions.


However, despite the overwhelming power that this other person holds over them, the singer describes them as being like a butterfly. This imagery suggests that while this other individual has the ability to completely alter the singer's life, there is something delicate and fleeting about their connection. There is a sense of wonder and beauty in the way that this other person has affected the singer's life, even if it is also dark and all-consuming.


Overall, the lyrics to "Butterfly" are a meditation on the complicated emotions that can come with being in love with someone who has a profound impact on your life in both positive and negative ways. The imagery of the butterfly suggests a duality to this relationship - it is both powerful and fragile, both beautiful and intimidating in its intensity.
