Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you come with your silent voice
Holding me oh so tight
I know that you want to
Blanket me with your passion
I welcome your intentions
I crave your touch tonight
A fire starts to ignite
I know that you want to
Sing me songs of attraction
I want the distraction
You are the fire that engulfs me
Please stay forever with me
The sea of love is what we swim through
Drowning slowly in our passion
You take me on a wild adventure
I want to fall, my heart is captured
I don't have to think twice
You give me butterflies
I'll enslave your heart today
When you whisper that you love me
You become my cocaine
I want to let go
I fall in love, I go crashing
That's all I've been asking
I dream of you at night
When you come with your silent voice
Holding me oh so tight
I know that you want to
Blanket me with your passion
I welcome your intentions
You are the fire that engulfs me
Please stay forever with me
The sea of love is what we swim through
Drowning slowly in our passion
You take me on a wild adventure
I want to fall, my heart is captured
I don't have to think twice
You give me butterflies
You are the fire that engulfs me
Please stay forever with me
The sea of love is what we swim through
Drowning slowly in our passion
You take me on a wild adventure
I want to fall, my heart is captured
I don't have to think twice
You give me butterflies
I don't have to think twice
I don't have to think twice
I don't have to think twice
You give me butterflies
I.S.'s Butterfly is a song of perseverance and determination. The opening stanza speaks of venturing into the unknown, disregarding what the world wants or expects of them. The singer urges the listener to fly, to spread their wings and make their dreams a reality. However, the journey to success isn't easy; there are obstacles in the way, and the artist acknowledges that they may have to work harder than others to achieve their goals. Nonetheless, they call upon the listener to maintain hope and keep pushing forward, even when faced with adversity.
Throughout the song, I.S. references the butterfly metaphor consistently. The butterfly is symbolic of transformation, perseverance, and rebirth. As it transforms from a caterpillar, overcoming challenges like shedding its cocoon to emerge as a fully formed creature capable of flight, so too must the listener embrace transformation and overcome their own challenges. The phrase, "날개 잃은 butterfly (naelgae ilheun butterfly)" is repeated throughout the chorus, translated as "a butterfly that has lost its wings." The singer urges the listener to metaphorically find their wings and take flight, to rise above any adversity and reach for their dreams.
Interestingly, the phrase "come in" symbolizes the invitation to start the journey towards transformation. The phrase can be found at the beginning of the song, urging the listener to enter the world of possibilities that lies ahead. Likewise, "세상이란 거미들의 먹잇감 (sesangiran geomideurui meogisgam)" translated to "The world is the prey of spiders" symbolizes the predatory nature of societal expectations and how the artist aims to rise above this constraint.

We have decided to pursue the same goals and flowers
과연 속이 똑같을까

더 이상 날 수 없는 날개 두 짝 yeah
Two sets of wings that can no longer fly
정해진 길 누가 이걸 정했는지는 몰라
I don't know who determined this path
막혀 버린 벽을 뚫고 날아
Break through the wall and fly
별을 향해 날개를 펴고
Spread your wings towards the stars
매일 같은 꽃들을 쫓아가
Chasing the same flowers every day
같은 꽃 위에만 앉으라고 해 (해)
Told to only sit on the same flower (ha)
날 묶어 둔 거미줄에
Trapped in a spider's web
온몸을 다 휘감겨도
Even if we are wrapped around completely
절대 꺾을 수 없어 또 일어나
We will never be broken and will rise again
I can't give it up (up)
I can't give up
높이 날아올라 butterfly
To fly high like a butterfly
Eh oh eh oh eh oh (oh oh oh)
Eh oh eh oh eh oh (oh oh oh)
Eh oh eh oh eh (oh oh)
Eh oh eh oh eh (oh oh)
Eh oh eh oh eh oh (oh oh oh)
Eh oh eh oh eh oh (oh oh oh)
Eh oh eh oh eh
