August
Michael B Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
her melodies come home,
but she can't find a place to call her own,
she's off with me again,
while I fight this feeling, the feeling that you're never gonna' come back again,
but I know, it's better than the strain.
cugust butterflies, she's right there by your side,
I'm chilled to the bone,
as the voice on the telephone,
say's she can't find a place to call her home,
she's off with me again,
as I fight this feeling, the feeling that you're never gonna' come back again,
but I know it's better off this way.
cugust butterflies, she's right there by your side,
cugust butterflies, and she's no longer your pride.
In these lyrics, Michael B Thomas paints a picture of a woman who is searching for a place to call her own, but seems unable to find it. The line "It's written on the stone, her melodies come home" suggests that she has a strong sense of identity and expression through her music. However, despite this talent, she is constantly leaving and returning to the singer, causing him to struggle with the feeling that she may never come back again. But, paradoxically, he also acknowledges that this situation is better than the strain they would feel if they were constantly together.
The repeated phrase "cugust butterflies" further enhances the emotional complexity of the song. It could be interpreted as a play on the word "August," representing both the height of summer and a symbol of change. The butterflies symbolize the fluttering and unsettled nature of their relationship. In the first instance, the line "she's right there by your side" suggests that the woman is still present and connected to the singer. But in the second instance, "and she's no longer your pride," it implies that their relationship has shifted and he no longer feels the same sense of pride and ownership over her.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of longing, uncertainty, and the bittersweet reality of love and relationships. The conflicting emotions of wanting someone close yet needing space are masterfully captured, giving the song a poignant and relatable quality.
