love is a butterfly
Maya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never been involved in
In girls and women
Not even when I had a chance
To get in love with someone
I pushed it away
I did get away
And what I'd say
Maybe it's not for me alright
Where is love?
You refused me more and more
I rejected you over again
And we'll always be confused
With each other, baby
I've made a move against you
I shouldn't do that
I'm wearing dresses now yeah
Until I get my things done
I'll do it my way
I will get away
From women's ray
Maybe all will be alright
Where is love?
If a man's another man
And I have an illness then
I can't give you all the pleasure
Another man will give to you
You now keep running from me
Even when I speak to you
You're afraid to even have a Conversation, baby
Where is love?
You will never be with me
Where is love?
I'm the one who can't give you wings
I would say now I don't need anymore
Where is love?
You refused me more and more
I rejected you over again
I don't easily find a creature who Takes care of me
You don't know




When a man is another man
You don't know

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics from Maya's song "Love is a Butterfly" can be interpreted as a commentary on the complexities of life, relationships and love. The singer emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters and avoiding distractions that may hinder personal growth. The line "while people fake but seem awake, society of actors" may indicate the prevalence of inauthenticity and insincerity in society. In a world where definitions are infinite, it is easy to become confused and misled by false concepts.


The reversed spelling of "love" (EVOL) is used as a recurring theme in the lyrics, perhaps suggesting that love can sometimes be backwards, unpredictable and difficult to comprehend. Additionally, the line "up is down, heaven is ground" highlights the inversion of commonly held beliefs or societal norms. The singer further ponders the subjective nature of truth and how it can be influenced by numerous factors. The contrasting ideas of "death in life, and rest in strife" may indicate that life's most meaningful lessons may arise from challenging situations.
