Bees & Butterflies
Girls in Hawaii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the feelings are right
My hands start to reach very high
When I'm feeling so right
My hands start to reach very high

Sorry for it
Sorry for me
Cause bees and butterflies down in my hands,
Now I have to teach them
How to fly
How to fly

When the feelings are right
Put down together in round
When I'm feeling the right
Holding to catch the stars

Sorry for it
Sorry for me
Cause bees and butterflies they are now my slaves
Now I have to teach them




How to fly
How to fly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Girls in Hawaii's song Bees and Butterflies describe a feeling of joy and excitement, expressed by the imagery of hands reaching high and catching stars. This feeling is interrupted by a sense of guilt ("sorry for it, sorry for me") that is manifested by the metaphor of bees and butterflies "down in my hands," which now have to be taught "how to fly." This could be interpreted as a realization that this feeling of happiness and power over one's life can be unsustainable and that one has to learn how to let go and share it with others.


The use of metaphors in the lyrics is noteworthy, as it creates a poetic and dream-like tone that matches the music's ethereal quality. The contrast between the lightness of the imagery and the heaviness of the guilt also creates a sense of tension that adds depth to the song's emotional landscape. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that this feeling is something that needs to be learned and cultivated, and that it can be both liberating and challenging.


Line by Line Meaning

When the feelings are right
When I am in the right emotional state


My hands start to reach very high
I become filled with a sense of yearning and longing


When I'm feeling so right
When my emotions are aligned and positive


Sorry for it
I feel remorseful for my current situation


Sorry for me
I feel ashamed and guilty for what I am experiencing


Cause bees and butterflies down in my hands,
There is an intangible, delicate sense of beauty and wonder that I am holding onto


Now I have to teach them
I feel responsible for these fragile elements


How to fly
I need to guide them and help them flourish


Put down together in round
Gather all of the pieces in a cohesive manner


Holding to catch the stars
Reaching for the seemingly unattainable


Cause bees and butterflies they are now my slaves
I am in complete control of these delicate elements

Bonjour,

Du Sud Ouest de la France,
Ce groupe Belge, cette musique fraîche, ces belles ballades très cool, jolies m émerveillent , enjolivent mes heures qui vont me pousser à prendre ma BISCOTTE shotter une session au PAYS BASQUE

En soirée, un apéro toujours face à l océan

Prendre la route...

Ce groupe est authentique, frais et cool
Cet album est une MERVEILLE
