Butterfly Girl
Marcus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fly so free
Butterfly girls I know you know what's happening
Fly to me
Long time ago, when I tried to clip your wings you cried
Since then I've learned to listen to you sing and watch you fly
Fly so free
Butterfly girls I know you know what's happening
Fly to me
I remember when
You'd rest a while upon a petal's white skin
You'd sing your song
Then flutter 'round the sun and circle its golden rim
Butterfly girl with your wings of silk and satin
Fly so free
Butterfly girls I know you know what's happening
Fly to me
From golden gate
Over the foggy day unto the sunlit shore
Across the bay
Into my garden where the blossoms bloom once more
Butterfly girl with your wings of silk and satin
Fly so free
Butterfly girls I know you know what's happening
Fly to me
The song "Butterfly Girl" by Marcus portrays a beautiful and poignant story of a butterfly with silk and satin wings flying free. The singer addresses the butterfly girl and calls out to her to fly to him, aware that she is aware of what is happening. The song is a metaphor that represents the liberation associated with being oneself and breaking free from someone else's expectations.
The lyrics "Long time ago when I tried to clip your wings you cried, since then I've learned to listen to you sing and watch you fly" speaks to a realization about how suffocating it is to clip someone's wings, in a symbolic sense holding someone back from their potential. This becomes a deeper message about how it is important to value freedom and self-expression in relationships. The singer has learned to cherish the butterfly girl's right to fly free, and the song encourages the listener to take this lesson to heart.
The lyrics also depict a personal journey of the butterfly girl as she flits around the world, landing on petals, singing a song, and circling the sun. All of these aspects of her journey stand in as metaphors for different experiences she may encounter as she moves through life. But ultimately, the song speaks to the power of freedom and the beauty and importance of being true to oneself.
