Butter
Leyya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

V1
All that ever keeps me high
is to know I can lean on you
Should I ever change the sides
I'll let you know

I won't lose my desire
if you're not in for days
we could end up higher
but I can't keep you safe
Is this why I'm losing my reality
in your bed
in your bed

I need your hands on my skin
reloading my magazin
spitting out my finest self
in your head your greatest sin

V2
I'm not in for keeping you warm
you're not safe if you lean on me
I'm not in for keeping you warm
in your bed
in your bed

V3
I won't claim possession
you might treat me right
this is no obsession
you're just on my mind
is this why I'm moving my reality




onto your bed
on your bed

Overall Meaning

In "Butter," Leyya explores the complexities of a relationship in which desire and dependence are entwined. The opening lines of the first verse immediately reveal the source of the singer's high: the feeling that she can always lean on her partner. She expresses a certain ambivalence towards this state of being, as she acknowledges that should the tables turn, she would inform her partner. This sentiment of reciprocity indicates a desire for mutual emotional support. The singer then recognizes the possibility of the relationship intensifying, but she also intimates a reluctance to assume the role of protector. The second verse makes it clear that the singer is not seeking warmth from her partner, nor does she wish to act as a crutch for them. The third verse is characterized by an affirmation of boundaries, as the singer retains her autonomy and makes it known that she does not seek possession or obsession. Despite this, she is nevertheless fixated upon her partner.
