Butterflies
SAINT TRAGEDY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all these thoughts are buried under my skin
I don't know how
And I don't know why
I've been left here on these lonely nights
A love has died for you and I
Butterfly fly away
Here I stand on my own again
Butterflies butterflies
Butterfly fly away
Butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Now I've been told once before that I'll make it through this
And I've been counting all these thorns that have pushed me to the edge
Nothings here to let me down
I'm almost six feet underground
And I don't have much left to give
A love has died for you and I
Butterfly fly away
Here I stand on my own again
Guess I'll find my own way
Butterflies butterflies
Butterfly fly away
Butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
A love has died for you and I
Butterfly fly away
Here I stand on my own again
Guess I'll find my own way
Butterflies butterflies
Butterfly fly away
Butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
The lyrics of "Butterflies" by SAINT TRAGEDY convey a sense of melancholy and despair as the singer reflects on a failed relationship. The opening lines reveal the singer's feeling of being trapped in a situation that seems impossible to escape. The thoughts that plague them are buried deep within their psyche, and they don't have the answers to the questions that torment them. The singer is left alone on lonely nights, and the pain of losing their love is evident in their voice.
The chorus of the song uses the metaphor of butterflies to convey the idea of freedom and escape. The singer wants to fly away from their pain and heartbreak, just like a butterfly. They acknowledge that they are on their own now and will have to find their way out of this dark place. The imagery of butterflies is evocative and poignant, and it adds a layer of emotion to the song.
In the second verse, the singer talks about being told that they will make it through this difficult period. However, they have been hurt so many times that they are on the edge of giving up. They feel like they are almost six feet underground, and they don't have much left to give. The theme of despair and hopelessness is palpable as the singer struggles to find a way out of their pain.
Overall, "Butterflies" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has experienced a failed relationship. The lyrics are introspective, and the use of metaphors adds depth to the song's message.

I am struggling in a situation that feels impossible to overcome
And all these thoughts are buried under my skin
I have so many heavy thoughts weighing on me, it feels like they're trapped inside me
I don't know how
I feel lost and unsure of what to do next
And I don't know why
I don't understand why I'm going through this difficult time
I've been left here on these lonely nights
I am alone, and the nights feel especially isolating
A love has died for you and I
Our relationship has ended, and it's painful for both of us

I'm back to being on my own, and it feels overwhelming

I can't stop thinking about butterflies, maybe because they're a symbol of freedom and escape
Fly away
I just want to escape from all of this
Now I've been told once before that I'll make it through this
Someone has given me hope that I can get through this tough time
And I've been counting all these thorns that have pushed me to the edge
I've been keeping track of all the obstacles and challenges that have made this situation so difficult
Nothings here to let me down
At this point, I don't have much more to lose
I'm almost six feet underground

And I don't have much left to give
I feel depleted and like I don't have anything else to offer
Fly away
I want to escape from all of this pain
Fly away
I just want to leave this all behind
A love has died for you and I
Our relationship has ended, and it's still painful and difficult to accept
Butterfly fly away
I still wish I could escape like a butterfly
Here I stand on my own again
I'm still alone and struggling to cope with everything
Guess I'll find my own way

I am still fixated on butterflies as a symbol of escape and freedom
