Inept Lyrics

is going back to where we left this years ago.
But i want to know if it's time,
and she wants to know if it's right.
But we will never ever know,
sitting here alone
just wondering on...
She will be, she will be inside
and i can feel it's like a string of butterflies
and i'll always love to feel them come from her
She will be, she will be inside
and you won't notice me
Because I'll be flying higher
than your hearts can reach
Fear, of doing this alone
Of feeling lost,
not knowing where we both belong,
in this
And, I was always thinking,
hoping when the day arrives,
we'd come around
and things are fine,
a sketch of what i always had in mind.
So I'll just keep holding on
She will be, she will be inside
and i can feel it's like a string of butterflies
and i'll always love to feel them come from her
She will be, she will be inside
and you won't notice me
Because I'll be flying higher
than your hearts can reach
She will be there,
and I will be overwhelmed
by the thought of love,
the thought of us.
Come back to me,
Because now that your gone,
hope keeps me holding on
The lyrics of "Butterflies" by Inept are a contemplation of whether it's time for two people to reconnect after years of being apart. The singer wonders if going back to where they left off is the only way to know if they still belong together, but the other person questions if it's the right time. The uncertainty is palpable throughout the song, as they acknowledge they might never have the answer. Despite this, the singer describes a feeling they get when they think of the other person - a string of butterflies fluttering inside them. They will always love feeling this sensation, even though it may be fleeting. The fear of doing this alone, of not knowing where they belong, is also present in the song. The singer had hoped that one day they would reconnect and everything would be fine, but they are still holding on to that hope.
In analyzing the lyrics, it's clear that the song is about both the excitement and the anxiety of reconnecting with someone after a long time. The butterflies mentioned in the song are likely referencing the feeling in one's stomach when they are nervous or excited about something. This line "she will be there, and I will be overwhelmed by the thought of love, the thought of us" shows that the singer is both excited and perhaps a bit intimidated by the prospect of rekindling their relationship.
