Butterflies
Starrah Skrillex & Four Tet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody loves somebody
I know you're not just anybody
Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Been here before
Lit like the fourth
When you hit my door
No fallin' short
Tease it
Please it
Squeeze it
Flip 180 degrees it

'Cause everybody loves somebody
But I know you're not just anybody
Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Lips on my lips
Hands on grip
You know you want this, mhmm
Oh, you want this, yeah
Tease it
Please it
Squeeze it
Keep it, keep it, keep it

'Cause everybody loves somebody
But I know you're not just anybody
Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Everybody loves somebody
I know you're not just anybody




Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Okay this is Skrillex.

@ScratonMusicOfficial

You could at least be honest for once and not eat everything pretending like you love every song, unless you joined into this only for dat extra exposure by promoting the same artists over and over instead of searching for few minutes to find new talents but hey, not taking it from ya.

@@ScratonMusicOfficial I have high expectations from Skrillex, and he does disappoint me sometimes. But I like this one. Wouldn't say it's FIRE, but it's pretty ok. And I think it'll be better the more I listen to it.
I would definitely like more hard stuff though, like the good old days.

I'd love a loop of the chopped choir vocals. They sound so angelic, yet industrial.

@lesliegrace5986

Stay tuned ✨
