According to his own account, in his youth his friends referred to him as "Dez, man" - thus creating his artistic pseudonym Desman. His self-titled breakthrough album in 2002 featured three top ten singles ("Shook", "Spread My Wings" and "Get Ready") on the Canadian charts. The album went on to achieve gold certification in Canada.
His follow up, Back for More (2005), with more sexual lyrics, reached number fifty on the Canadian airplay charts. His single from that album, "Let's Go", reached number six on the MuchMusic Countdown. He is currently signed with Sony BMG Music (Canada). Desman is also known for sporting the "sidehawk" hair style, a sort of diagonal mohawk. "Spread My Wings" was a featured song in the movie Kangaroo Jack. Desman was also spotted in the movie Honey alongside Jessica Alba, performing his song "Sexy".
Butterflies
Shawn Desman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm not tryna say that I'm perfect, I know I'm not (I know I'm not).
So tell me why, your giving me a hard time (oh why?)
When all I do, is everything to try and please you.
Oh to please you baby.
I wanna get those butterflies when I look into your eyes again.
All over again oh babe.
All over again oh no.
I don't understand won't you tell me just went wrong (what wrong).
Cause I remember when I would come over, now there's no one at the door.
Baby tell me where'd you go.
No matter what I say,
You always gotta take it the wrong way (oh why why why?).
Just want it to be the way it was when you fell in love with me
Fell in love with me yeah yeah yeah.
I wanna get those butterflies when I look into your eyes again.
All over again.
And I wanna talk all night, without a single fight, again.
All over again, oh no.
All over again,
Maybe we can use some time away (some time away).
Or maybe we just need a little space (a little space).
I know we gotta make it better girl, somehow, some way.
I wanna get em baby.
Butterflies again.
I wanna get those butterflies when I look into your eyes again.
All over again.
And I wanna talk all night, without a single fight, again.
All over again, oh yeah, all over again.
In this song, Shawn Desman talks about the problems in his relationship and how he wants to fix it. He acknowledges that he is not perfect, but he wants to make things right with his partner. He wonders why she is giving him a hard time when all he does is try to please her, and he wants to experience the love and excitement of their relationship again. He remembers when they used to talk all night without fighting and wishes for those butterflies he felt when he first fell in love with her. He doesn't understand what went wrong and where his partner has gone, and he suggests that they take some time away or space to try to make things better.
From the lyrics, the overall theme of the song appears to be about longing for the early days of a relationship and wanting to rekindle the passion and excitement. The singer acknowledges that there are problems but suggests that he is willing to work on them to get back to that feeling he once had.
