Queensberry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so long to the girl I know
I feel it something´s coming over me
ike a wave taking mw were I wanna be
Always changing, moving faster than the speed of light
I´ve been waiting for the moment to be right
Gonna close my eyes gonna say goodbye
and I won´t look down I´m taking to the sky
gonna shed my skin my new life begins
you won´t recognise mw now I´ve got my wings
I´m a butterfly
Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly
There is more than meets the eye
Caterpillar butterfly
No one else can know what´s going on with me
soon everybody´s gonna see
My new self shines much brighter than before
like the sun I wont hold back anymore
Always reaching, searching for a way to catch the light
I´ve been waiting for the moment to be right
CHORUS
(2x) Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly
There is more than meets the eye
Caterpillar butterfly
Funny how the one who´s the heart of the party
used to be a flower clinging to the wall
funny how the girl who couldn´t speak her mind
has been left behind, now that I´m
no longer invisible
CHORUS
(2x) Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly
There is more than meets the eye
Caterpillar butterfly
The lyrics to Queensberry's "Butterfly" convey the idea of growth, change and transformation. The song's narrator acknowledges that sometimes we have to let go of good things to make room for something new and exciting. They describe a feeling of something coming over them, like a wave, that is taking them where they want to be. The metaphor of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly is used to express this change and transformation, with the singer shedding their old skin and taking flight with their new wings.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this idea of transformation and metamorphosis. The singer is closing their eyes and saying goodbye to their old self, taking to the sky with their new wings as a butterfly. They assure the listener that they won't recognize them now that they've undergone such a dramatic change. The metaphor of the caterpillar and butterfly is further reinforced in the chorus, with the repeated phrase "Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly/There is more than meets the eye/Caterpillar butterfly".
The final verse of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reflects on how they used to feel invisible and unable to speak their mind. Now, they have shed that old skin and become the heart of the party. "Butterfly" is a song about finding your true self and the courage to become that person. It is a powerful message about growth, change and transformation that can resonate with listeners of all ages.
