butterfly
Grimes Lyrics

Big beats, black cloud
There are big, heavy beats and a dark cloud of emotion hanging over the scene.

Get it wrong, get loud
When things go wrong, people become louder and more upset.

Write a song, get down
Expressing yourself through music can help you feel better.

And everyone will know
People will be aware of what you've created.

And everyone can go
Everyone is free to experience what you've created.

Oh, then, get lost
If you don't like it, you can leave.

Take his shit, maybe not
Even if someone is being difficult or disrespectful, it's not necessary to stoop to that level.

Let's sing good, he's fine
Let's focus on creating something good rather than letting negativity bring us down.

Everything you know
All your knowledge and experience.

And everyone should go
Everyone should get out and experience life.

I don't know need to know
I don't need all the answers.

So, do know you want to?
Do you know what you really want?

Am I just right? (Is it just right?)
Is what I'm doing or feeling appropriate or correct?

Can you see the enemy just isn't me?
The problem is not me, but something else entirely.

Oh, it is perfect
This moment or situation is exactly how it should be.

It could be anything out there
There are limitless possibilities in the world.

Butterflies flying in the air
There is beauty and wonder in nature.

Oh, no, it came
Something unexpected happened.

Higher than an aeroplane
This thing is significant and impressive.

Don't know this song
I'm not familiar with what's happening right now.

Sweeter than a sugar cane
This situation or feeling is delightful and wonderful.

Why you looking for a harmony?
Why are you trying to create order out of chaos?

There is harmony in everything
Even in chaos, there is balance and harmony present.

It's a butterfly who waits for the world
Nature is patient and waits for the right moment to take flight.

To fly away
To take off and experience the world.

On your way, getting caught up
As you go through life, you can become too engrossed in certain things.

Quit and sell livestock
Sometimes it's necessary to give up on certain things in order to move forward.

Heck, get late, old body
As time passes, we all age and become less energetic.

Got you moving slow
This situation is causing you to slow down or become unmotivated.

Big bird, dimming
There's a large bird in the sky that is starting to fade away.

Wish I could save them
I want to help, but I know I can't.

And nobody can know
Some things are meant to be private or kept secret.

If you're looking for a dream girl
If you're hoping for someone who is perfect or always happy, that's not who I am.

I'll never be your dream girl
I'm not perfect, but I'm still valuable and worthy of love.
